As I'm thinking of a new TV, can someone tell me if this is true? I'm wondering if the sound produced by the in build speakers can be compared with a BeoSound 8, Beolit 12 or any other in the range?

Sure it's comparable to a Beosound 8. Better! Compared to a BV7-40 with 7.2 (see other thread), it's not as good. But it's definitely much better than, say, my BS8 or similar hi-fi.

I don't think I'd use it as a hi-fi though. I never even used my BV7 (which, at one stage, had a 7.4 and 2 x BL9s) as a "hifi". Seems a bit weird to me, particularly when the BS8 is small and compact enough to be placed in most locations.

Thank you for your quick reply.

I'm impressed.

I like the idea of having only one device per room. So it would be a good chance to have the possibility to use the BeoVision as a small sound system when needed.

I would not use my BV10 as a stereo system. It's good for a flat TV, but nothing spectacular. 

I suggest you listen to it before you make up your mind.

If you complement the BeoVision 10 with BeoLab 11 subwoofer, as I have, the sound improves remarkably (BeoVision 10 lacks in terms of bass on its own). With BeoLab 11, I am using BeoVision 10 also as "a stereo" for listening music. I've noticed that BeoLab 11 "plays well together" with BV10, it integrates nicely with the TV's speakers.

Has anybody switched some nice front speaker (BL9 or BL5) to the BV10-46, so the speaker of the BV10-46 is only used as center?

I must admit, my dealer is always recommending this combo to me. I thought it was simply to shift a BL11, but they insist it makes a big difference (to the BV10).

I have bv10-46, bl3 as fronts and 4000 as rears, I also have a BC2.

Shure U can use the bv10 as a hifi - with extra sppeakers, but just use the bv10 is a waste of money in my opinion.. The bv10 has alot of nice featutres that U can use as a system - not stand aloe. Shure the speaker i greeat compared to other manufacturer of tvs.. But compared to my BL3 its not even close.. Get the tv and a set of BL3 then I think it will workout for U.

Hi,

I'm using my BV10-46 together with a Beosound 3000 and an AppleTV without any other speaker for listening radio and music (and watching TV of course). I've one big room and I'm totally satisfied with the sound. But I'm no audiophil I have to admit.

Adding additional speakers is always an option of course.

It is transformational - with an Apple TV/iCloud combination, it is entirely possible to listen to music in remarkably decent quality.

After awhile it does not seem so unusual to listen to music through your TV.

Highly recommended addition.
