Not really sure why everyone thinks the Eclipse has so much more speaker power than the other B&O sets. Avant has more power and more speakers than the Eclipse. Even Bv11 and 14 has very powerful sound. The Eclipse doesn't even have two way right/left just a single full frequency speaker per channel.Sure, but using the Eclipse speaker/s as a center speaker must be extremely good. Looking forward to find a dealer, who has the Eclipse in a multi channel sound setup ;-) MM There is a tv - and there is a BV.
Avant 2014+
Yeah, as i said in my initial post last week after playing with the Eclipse, its very very good, but doubt it would remove the need for additional speakers in all but the smallest lounges.....i airplay'd some music to it, it was excellent having that functionality and it sounded damn good for a sound bar / TV, but in no way means i could sell my other supplementary speakers. But its excellent for those who want an all in one i guess.

Will be interesting, when Geoff Martin gets the time to tell us more about this speaker combination.
The amount of drivers is not all these days - it is how you use/tune these speaker as a whole.
We see progress in B&O speaker technology each time they launch new speakers.

I like my Avant 55 very much. But it is very bad, that there will be no more software updates. Deezer and Spoitfy isn't working anymore and the HDMI Dolby Digital Bug is awful.
Please B&O support the Avant 55 MK1.
He didn't sound very enthusiastic at the launch when he explained the setup in a video to a reporter. When they launched Avant he was much more engaged. This setup resembles the setup on V1-40 which I also find works well but a full range element will never be as good as a separate treble and midrange. They have separate amps in the Avant so they can. E clearer whereas in the eclipse the full range speaker of course just uses one. I'm not saying it's bad but it's not a real treble speaker except for in the middle so I don't think the sound will be as nice from all three channels unfortunately. But most people probably have separate right and left and then it makes less difference of course. I can also honestly say my Avant rarely gets to play to the fullest because of my external speakers. But it's that good that it sometimes sounds better than with the BeoLab 9s on. Which I find impressive.Will be interesting, when Geoff Martin gets the time to tell us more about this speaker combination.

Probably pretty worn out after being at that exibition (the IFA/Berlin).
I guess we would all be, when answering the same questions from multiple journalists.
The video with the Avant back then was a B&O arrangement for invited journalists, who wanted to go in depth with the product.

Is there not a line with B&O support here on the forum or one that having connections with the support department?
I asume that there are B&O dealers here on this platform that can check for this......?
The 12-65 is so much better for everyday use than the Avant MK 1.
I agree. Or the BV11-55. I have both and both perform superbly and have their pros (BV11 has a sharper image and perhaps a little better for sport).
Just to point out I bought an Avant MK-1 and it was awful. Sold it after only 6 months. Bought the BV12-65 an, as Sandyb rightly says, is a better set in many ways.
Chris, would you choose a BV11-46/55 over the Avant Mk1 for picture quality? Assume that I did not need or want 4K capability so for SD and HD viewing only? Thanks, S.
