Hi Jakes

We had a similar issue when looking at upgrading our BV10.

We took the Theatre route as at the time it integrated with the other speakers we have without the need of extra boxes etc. We have BL5’s and BL8000’s attached to the Theatre which works extremely well. We have the Theatre and Tv mounted on a BV 7 double pole stand as we prefer the look. The motor on the stand doesn't function but we didn’t use the motorised stand that much before anyway. The tv is 55”.

I suppose you need to think about what you want to achieve. Full integration like you have now or a bit of making do with a few less functions? What do you watch on Tv? Is it free to air, DVD’s or streaming? Do you listen to music etc? CD’s, Spotify etc? Do you listen in other rooms too?

There’s endless possibilities but I suppose it’s a matter of getting it working seamlessly and playing well together.

The Almando products have been discussed here several times throughout the years.

There are mixed reviews….often people returns to a B&O solution (the BS Theatre) after a while.

I would advice to wait for posts with positive reviews for Almando, before purchasing - in the meantime you could search the forums including the old ones.

Personally I am looking forward to the solution from Neomesteren. - the products, that they have up ‘till now, are excellent.

Anyway - it will be very hard to get the integration with projector/screen and tv, that you aim for.
Tv’s are getting bigger and bigger, which leaves less need for B&O to provide this kind of solution.
That said….it might be possible with a great deal of DIY.
Some have used a BeoSystem 4.

Running a BS Theatre with a projector/screen solo, however is not a big problem, but you will probably need a professional installer for that.

As for ‘Brodersen timer etc’ - I have no idea…never heard of that.

Finally:
I agree with Peter in his post: “you need to think about what you want to achieve”.

Best luck finding the best solution.

Thanks for the heads up.  I am not at the location of the TV right now, I believe it would be this model

It has scart but not sure about CRT.  I'll probably go to the shop and explain my situation.

I was thinking that no one would be interested in this TV, even if I would give it away, especially the impossible task to transport it,  should I have people clear it away or should I put an advert locally in case someone might be interested  ?  What do people think ?  When I sell the house it would be nice if that was already sorted lol.

Yes that is the Cathode Ray Tube Real Flat Avant . Superb set - I gave mine away - mine was the DVD version. Still has a great picture but 'only' 32" and is a large bit of furniture and heavy. The chap I gave mine to wanted it for video gaming as he needed a SCART socket for the console he was using. We have a system called freecycle and one puts an advert up on there and invariably someone comes and gets it! In this case definitely put 'needs collection'!
