I've got to agree with Michael I'm afraid, I think filling your living room with 6 floor standing speakers plus a sub is going to look a mess. I've got a spare pair waiting to be collected by the seller sitting in the living room and I can't wait to get rid of them.

Plus, what about the nice stereo sound you enjoy in the dining room currently? If you really wanted to exploit the 7.1 processor in the BV11 and make a cinema in your front room, what about something discrete and wall mounted on the side channels?

Perhaps the room has en enormous volume 😁

I was in my B&O store today and saw the BV11-55, god damned what a nice piece of art! My bankaccount is happy that I dont have enough space for it... 

It is a design statement, I love it. The size difference from my BV10-46 is huge.. :) 

My BV10 is new since the summer so I will not replace it yet.

Thanks for the candid feedback everyone ;-)

Well, let's say I find the living room big enough to easily accommodate six BL8000s, a BL2 and a BV11.

In regards to suggestion to use "something discrete and wall mounted": there are no walls to either side of the TV set - it's all glass. Therefore, there's no other option than use floor standing speakers. In fact the biggest challenge when furnishing the flat was that there're so little walls to use. I will post some images once the BV11 is delivered on Saturday!

A question about the Apple TV integration. Does it require a separate HDMI cable in the "box" in the TV? Does it need a separate power cable or does it get power from the TV itself?

My understanding of the Apple TV "integration" is that it has space around the back to hide it!

There's a dedicated space for an Apple TV in the BV10/11 but you still need a (short) HDMI cable to connect it to the Beovision... and a (long) powercable to juice the Apple device...
