link. I think they might have rushed the specifications because a lot is strange there.. But I want confirmation first :)

 

Have a look at the line "cabinet volume"

V1-32 : 2x32W <--> 2x0.15l

V1-40 : 2x32W <--> 2x0.15l + 1x1.7l

How is the subwoofer powered in the 40" ?

Thanks hfat but it doesnt say anything about amplifier for the subwoofer, it also says 85-20,000 hz on both models. I think they should change it to the right specs at least :)

We watched a movie yesterday, the sound is ok - it is a small tv. Most users probably use it in a smaller room, our livingroom is 55 sqare meters, it needs more speakers so I dont think this is a fair test for this tv.. :) 

The sound was ok and the picture was small but .. good? :D 

That concludes it well. If I had it in a smaller room I think the experience would be better.. 

Even my BL3s sound abit thin in the house compared to our old apartment.. 

Only spotted the launch of this more reasonably priced unit a week ago and have been looking for a 5.1 solution for a couple of years, so will be watching this thread with interest.

For reference, I've owned B&O since 1971, retired to Virginia three years ago and am not very technical (understatement 🙂). Right now I'm viewing a quite decent but not exceptional 42" panel with an HMDI connection to a Comcast HD box. I'm using the analog sound feed to a BM 7000 which also runs a CD 7000 and 4004 turntable. Via Powerlink it feeds a BL 11 which also runs two BL 3's on floor stands. In the rear are two M70's powered by an ML/MCL converter. This weird combo produces really outstanding audio in "Stereo 4".

Tried the AV 7000 solution which worked but gave poor audio compared to the PL outputs from the BM 7000. I also don't have an active center channel speaker and my Comcast box also only outputs 5.1 digitally. Grrr...

Called one of my dealers this week to ask whether I could run my sound through this TV via the analog input. He has 20+ years of B&O experience but said that he'd only had preliminary training on the V1 and only hooked up to two 6000's. As for using the analog input for just audio, he was doubtful because he thought that the V1 might look for a video signal before looking for audio.

He then called Chicago I presume and called me back to say that there was a way to feed my audio through the V1 with the use of a couple of adapters. I didn't understand what he was saying and he didn't want to go into more detail this week, saying that he'd have one in the store in 7 - 10 days which he could play with to verify what he was told. I realize that the V1 has no ML and frankly don't care since I prefer using my MCP 6500 to run phono, CD and FM anyway vs my Beo4. One thing I could NOT tolerate would be any degradation of audio which I experienced with the AV 7000.

Having the V1 run as center channel could be a huge benefit to me for sure as most voices these days come through that channel and my hearing isn't what it was. Just running stereo for movies right now, sometimes voices are muddy although other movie audio in stereo is dandy.

The V1 would be a major investment for me in this economy, so that screen had better be impressive. I'd also be downgrading from a 42" to a 40" at a viewing distance which could easily handle a 46" except that in this space 46" would begin to dominate my living room.

The table stand must also work on a 39" wide HDTV component stand and that could be tricky as the V1 unit alone is 37.5"

While I'm aware that there is a learning curve with the operation of a cable box with a Beo4, I remain to be convinced that access to all my "on demand" functions can be seamless and convenient. Currently it's a breeze with the cable box remote. The DC dealer says "no issue" and his store is on Cox Cable. He also stated that one of his clients had no problem with Fios in DC with the exception of one on demand function which required the Fios remote. The Norfolk dealer has Comcast, so I might have to drive all the way down there too. I'm 90 miles and 120 miles away from these places as I'm west of Richmond.

Never said I was easy! 🙂 And this whole concept could just be a pipe dream. At least the V1 has Wifi and my son is using Netflix a lot lately...

Hello Rikard

Could you perhaps tell me if there is an adapter for the mini AV jack for analog sources bundled with the TV?

I only got the tv unboxed, so I dont know what connectors it is delivered with.
