Hi Elephant, literally the only difference is that with 14.5 you get an extra satellite speaker and a different cable, so they are one in the same but you save a little bit of investment on the B&O variant by not getting the bits you don't need. I think its the perfect approach having seen it. Even the box is the same :)

The new product teaser from B&O.  Launch next week! With pic!

Is that someone, who reads the news on BeoWorld and then Twitters what he just read?

Grrr! Millemissen

We just got ours in the shop today and we here are all pleasantly surprised with the performance and design. We have been biting our tongue the last few weeks with our initial thoughts. I have to admit it blew us all way. The packaging, ease of setup, and overall appeal. It seems to hit all the marks it needs to in regards to whom it is initially marketed to, and for what it is. I think once everyone actually sees and hears it, you will agree as well.

"ease of setup"

How is it actually connected to a BeoVision?

Greetings Millemissen

In our case it is connected to a BV11 via 3NL cables (CAT7). Everything else is included in the box including wiring to each sat. Plug in the sub, connect the sats, jump in the menus and address everything and your done. Obviously, we don't need to hide wires in the shop thanks to our floor runners. You really should be able to stage the system for mounting (including testing out the performance) in 30-45 minutes or less. And that's for someone with out extensive knowledge on the subject. We had it up and running in about 20 minutes. Would have been less but we had to really investigate each part to see if it past our initial sweep of the system. Which it did!!

I suppose you just choose the BeoLab 14-entry from the sound-settings menu of the BV11, but how is it then connected to a BV10 or so (where the BL14 can't be found in the menu)?

Greetings Millemissen

One would suspect a simple software update would lend you the name and appropriate frequency cutoffs in a BV10. In the past on the older chassis you could use a different speaker in the menu till B&O updates it correctly to your chassis. Possibly BL4 or 4k and a BL2? As far as actually connecting to the BV10, you would need to get the PL>NL cables at the dealer when you purchase. 

I'm way more intrigued by those red BL5's, they look amazing🙂 Just wish I had room for 5's🙁
