Hi Beofan,

Thanks. Looking forward to your experience.

Thanks for all the effort in writing this detailed review, KMA.

I have just ordered my new BV11-55 yesterday and was told it'll already arrive around the 30th of this month. I have opted against the NL/ML converter myself: I find it too expensive of a backward tool with too little use in the future. My BC2 and BV5 will move into the bedroom therefore. So after all the good years it's Goodbye to Masterlink and Hello to DNLA and NAS now.

What I do find a little annoying though is that even now B&O sell the majority of speakers with Powerlink sockets and I as the consumer get no Powerlink sockets on the newest equipment anymore - and am expected to pay for the adaptors myself :-(

I am yet interested to hear what difference it'll make to have 6 BL 8000s connected to the BV11 instead of the 4 I had so far connected to the BV5 :-) 

By the way, before ordering this new TV I contemplated getting a second life BV9 - but it's not only hard to find a MK IV / V ... it ended up feeling like looking for kit that'll rather sooner than later be outdated entirely.

I do have an additional question for the Forum: will I have to buy the original B&O 3D glasses or can I actually use Samsung ones?

Will let you guys know more about the 11-55 once it arrives.

Congrats on your decision and purchase !

We look forward to hearing your many tales of enjoyment.

Thanks for the compliment, elephant :)

I haven't had a chance to take a pic of the Media Player UI yet -- it is very simplistic in the B&O style, a total opposite to - say - Plex Media Player on AppleTV.

Determining from your later comments, I assume you've already had the chance to see what the the BV11 Home Media looks like?

Following this review and a visit to B&O LIverpool, I have ordered a 40" BV11 on a motorised wall bracket. It will fit fairly precisely onto a section of wall with an internal corner projection in our living room. Opted for the built-in hard disk, as this also has a satellite receiver in the same module. I really like the new Beo4 with joystick/toggle.

The BV11 will replace a BV5, so just like 'mor' above the BV5 and BC2 will be moving into a bedroom (a rather small bedroom/ office it has to be said, that will suddenly take on the appearance of a private cinema!)

The BV5 currently sits at an angle across the corner (and before we had the stand cabinet for it, had all the STBs stacked behind it). Looking forward to just having the TV on the wall with no other clutter!

Next job is planning the hidden cable routes!

KMA, does it come with the active 3D glasses? 

Cheers.

The glasses are indeed extra and need to be ordered separately, the list price is 150 euros. You'll probably end up paying less, though, especially if you've just purchased the BV11 or get the glasses bundled in the same deal. I got a discount on mine.

Cheers back at ya :)

I'm looking forward to hearing your impressions of the 55", and perhaps seeing a pic of your setup with 6 (!) BeoLab 8000s. With the new audio capabilities of BV11, you can set up pretty interesting listening scenarios (and optimal positions) with 6 speakers + BV11's speakers. My advice is to invest some time in the Technical Sound Guide. You will be positively surprised!

Hi Vikinger,

WOW The Bv11 is a wonderful replacement for the AWESOME BV5!!! I remember when the BV5 was launched, I was at Art College at the time and it was the same price as my brand new MINI Cooper :)

Liverpool is great - I worked at JUICE FM down Fleet Street for a while and was lucky enough to live on Albert Dock. Super friendly city :)

Damn KMA, I was hoping for another amazing review from you :) :) :) :)  such a nice read! YOU SHOULD be in the next BANG&OLUFSEN catalogue.  It's about time they put people back in their catalogues as they rather lack soul at the moment.  COME ON B&O LET'S HAVE SOME BEOWORLDERS IN YOUR FUTURE CATALOGUES!!!
