Not a big fan of the speaker sticking out at the bottom of the Beovision 8 but when put on a thin horizontal piece of furniture it looks good http://www.diisign.com/2009/12/test-bang-olufsen-beovision-8-40/

Any reason not to buy Beovision 8-40 MK2

From the moment i saw a bv 8-40 i was amazed at the picture design and sound quality, much preferred it over the v1.

Not much good bolted to a wall bracket though?
It reminds me of a cash machine but if you can install it in a way you like it's great performance for the price.
There is no reason not to buy a BV8
It was the first BV to be introduced at a relatively attractive price point and the speaker "pit" was revolutionary as was the soft touch plastics and it had HMDI!
The Sony TV in monolith design i had later was the same, and must have drawn on from the BV design in that the stand which was a 2.1 stand, was effectively the same as the BV8.
The BV8 is an absolutely beautiful television and if you're new to BV, im sure you will thoroughly enjoy it.
Got it! Love it. The sound and picture quality is amazing!

Looks great in your installation. The ATM look is not there because it's black on the black unit.

Looks great Roy !Welcome to the world of B&O experiments and pushing the limits ...Perhaps you can even get a PowerLink out cable that can input to the A9 ?What "set top box" devices have you got?- blue ray- cable- Apple TV- Google Chromecast Did you set up any PUCs ?See my configuration setup belowGot it! Love it. The sound and picture quality is amazing! Roy

Hi Elephant,Thanks! I have a CI+ in it, an Apple tv 4 and my partner owns a X-Box. I'm currently thinking if I want to buy a floorstand. What do you think? The sound and picture quality keep surprising me. Awesome TV! And I'm carefully checking some speakers on the internet as we speak. Roy.
So do you have the ATV4 connected via a PUC cable ? I agree it's non-essential as the ATV4 is controlled via Bluetooth so you can like me hide it one of the cupboards in the credenza or even bind the books.an Apple tv 4 and my partner owns a X-Box.
I was never convinced the the floor stand looked robust and stable in the B&O brochures. Also it looked industrial and not a match to the BV imho. I think it looks great on your credenza. My vote is don't fix what's already cool. Unless you are after viewing height in which case why not wall mounted?Sure the speaker is the angled down but I don't think the voice centre channel will be impacted. And you've lost the remote shelf 😁 but it's no biggy.Floor stand
I have used BL3s. Then BL3s with BL11. Then BL3s with BL19 - this is the best combo I have had. And BL4s for rears. I did try BL4s for the front but in the family room's dimensions they were not powerful enough.speakers
