Welcome to the forum. I wish I had some helpful answers for you but your questions are beyond my expertise. 

Why not a LG OLED TV..?

The new models can be controlled with the BR1.

If you think the speaker on the Eclipse looks "weird", and the Harmony is too expensive - then just buy the TV-part, which is LG.
With the speakers, you want to buy, you'll not need the speaker sections of Eclipse or Harmony 😕 
Maybe a BS Stage as center speaker?

Hi there. I'm an ex-B&O salesman and a current Control4 integrator with a mixed setup at home. I'm sure I can help guide you at bit. 

I'd say that Control4 is an ideal compliment to B&O's products and the Neeo remote certainly "feels" like a Bang & Olufsen piece. The fit and finish is actually superior to the BeoRemote 1. There just have to be considerations as to what you can mix and match, and what you can't. 

The video setup can be easily mixed and matched. The Control4 will knit together the various components and make them function as an integrated system. You can use the television and AV Receiver of your choice and connect the B&O speakers. Just make certain that the AV receiver has pre-amplified outputs for easy connectivity to the B&O speakers.  

Where you'll want to stay consistent is your multi-room music setup. There isn't an easy answer to this one as there are drawbacks whether you commit to Bang & Olufsen as well as Control4's own internal multi-room setup. I'll try to be as brief as I can:

- Control4 outputs to each room in one of three ways: from an audio matrix, from the audio output on a controller. So the number of these outputs in a given project represent the number of simultaneous streams. The downside to this is that using little stand-alone products like a BeoPlay M3, BeoSound 1, etc. become difficult or expensive. Let's say you wanted a BeoSound 1 on your kitchen counter: you'd either use it independently with no ability to join a multi-room session with Control4, or you'd have to run an analog audio connection from the nearest piece of Control4 hardware into the B&O product and have it operate as a line-in. (The silver bullet, should the update ever come, is for Control4 to add an AirPlay 2 capability - it's not bullet proof, but I've found AirPlay 2 to be surprisingly robust). 

-BeoLink Multiroom has a pretty wide variety of form factors but has two major limitations when integrated with Control4, with one relating to the other. First is that there is no content-browsing driver or network driver available for B&O. The individual product drivers are excellent, but they can't proxy into the "sessions" feature in Control4, nor can you search your music service for content or access playlists, etc. This is either a major drawback or irrelevant depending on how you use your products, but it also causes the next issue: If you integrate the B&O with a video setup, say a BeoSound Core input into an AV Receiver, there's no mechanism within Control4 to see that the BeoSound Core has been engaged and thus switch on the AV Receiver, turn to the correct input, etc. - You have to initiate that command from within Control4, so if you're using the B&O App or AirPlay, Control4 isn't monitoring the state of those devices - it only knows what you tell it. So you have to do a little app-jumping. Again, not terrible, but not perfect. 

-My Solution is something I'll outline because it's something that works for me. I have Sony televisions, one with surround sound and two with local stereo speakers. The one with surround sound is a Core connected to a AV Receiver. The other TVs are connected to the Core via toslink cable. The Control4 handles this scenario really well. I don't use the B&O app at all, but have set up Join and Expand buttons on all of my Neeo Remotes as well as Join, volume, mute, and Off commands to keypads in the rooms. This means I usually AirPlay to whatever product and then use Join/Expand to add rooms. Also works with TV sound, which I often use to add my kitchen speaker to the family room when watching news or sports. 

A lot to digest, but hopefully this helps.

You do know that that is not true!

Correct is that you can control certain models of the LG/OLED’s, if you have a BeoSound Stage rightly set up to it.

There is no way to control an LG-tv as a standalone tv just using the BeoRemote One/BT.

Using the Stage as a center speaker would imply the use of it’s analog input and some kind of multichannel pre-processor....which kind of defeats the purpose of the BS Stage.

Thank you for you knowledge.
It is a bit frustrating for a novice in the B&O world.

One thing i still don't understand is why they didn't release an upgraded version of the Stage?

Make it one hell of a centerspeaker and combine it with the B&O sound solution software/hardware.

I've already contacted a local dealer which also deals in Loewe and to have the same ''special B&O'' feeling; have the TV/ center speaker play the audio of normal broadcasts and enable stereo/surrounds/sub when watching movies i would basicly need to buy and custom set up an Dolby Amplifier of around 5k, This including a center speaker + TV would bring me above the price of a 65 eclips and near the 65 Harmony. ( The almando solution should only work in a scenario like always all speakers or never all speakers on ) and the thing i loved of the B&O showcase of dealer was that the BV knew when to enable which speakers for the best listening experience is only available using a external dolby amplifier. 

He did say that they sometime custom disassemble an Eclipse ( Strip the panel) turn the sound engine + speakers into TV cabinet and have the freedom to connect any LG tv ( be it compatible with B&O). He also expected B&O to do this themselves or give dealers the possiblity to do this in a plug and play version in the upcomming year.

I feel it is a real missed opportunity of B&O in the upselling department.
As a newcommer in the B&O world i would love to buy a Stage with the possibility to further branch out in Beolabs etc.
It feels like either buy the TV we supply as the heart of your set up or don't get the benefits. And for a new time customer dishing out 30k-ish for a home entertainment set up is a bit over the top. I would love to be able to grow my way in to it, and keep the freedom of picking my TV but still have all the benefits B&O delivers.

As a younger buyer 26 yo, i always grew into a market/ eco-system
I feel like B&O tries to mimic Apple but misses the crucial point of growing into an eco-system.

I am currently debating waiting for Eclipse MK II or get a 65'' Harmony ( wallmounted) or waiting for a solution the dealer proposed ( separate sound engine of Eclipse) also would someone advise KNX over Control4 in the scenario of controlling it all using BR1 ( curtains, lights, TV set up).

I don't need any other fancy tricks :)
But i do want the custom sound matrixes a BV enables without a BV.

Guess i'll wait out this years releases.

Hello! Good to hear you are looking at B and O. I have a system that I think fits your requirements without a lot of the necessary expense you talk about I think. 
I have a Loewe Bild 5, built in sound bar acts as centre speaker, out to lab 9 fronts and lab 4 rears. The Loewe is connected to a beosound moment too, so now has full b and o multi room streaming capabilities and can link to the other b and o products in my house such as beosound 2 and beoplay v1. No almado box, no external activity processor. Just cabled connections via the Loewe’s internal sound processor.
