The price could be close the 8-40... Seems like they will show it to the dealers in September, but a release date is stated yet (but Oct/Nov seem reasonable based on previous experience). Same goes for the new "BeoSound 1" with iPod/iPhone dock.

Thanks Roger.

One question - you hinted that the BV10-32 might have a different frame (or different quality build), due to the price. Are you aware of the differences?

That is a bit of a pity. The design of the BV6 is very different then from the BV10. Try placing the BV10 on a shelf.

I don't fully understand why it is so tricky to run the TVs on the same platform and retain their frames.

 

I always loved the Bv6 and am still sad it never made it to the US.

I hope that they do not waste too much time on it but come up with a more rock solid example for a home MP3 player.

Still waiting for updates to the BS5 ........

The challenge regarding the BeoVision 10-32 is obvious: A scaled down version of the BeoVision 10 will have the same material cost and the same labour cost (same frame, same speakers, same amp, same connections...) etc - the only less expensive item will be the display it self. So, based on simple math the 32" and 40" will cost almost the same.

So what should the Danes do? Go for a true BeoVision 10, no light version, perhaps lower the margin and sell a 32" for the price of a BV8-40 +10%, or should they look at the frame and use the same type of plastic found in the BV8 series?

Seems like a plastic frame would be the obvious choice from that list.
