Well, I doubt that even a customer who has paid the full price of an earlier version of the BV6, BC6 or 7-32 etc., would have felt upset if B&O had reduced the price of these tv:s in order to boost sales. When the BV6 was launched it was top of the line and the price tag could be justified. Nowadays prices are reduced (for the screens B&O buys as well I suppose) , and B&O could have done the same - in my opinion - without irritating old customers.
I fully agree that most of us probably can't house a BV10-32 or a 8-40 in a kitchen, thereby forcing us to look at other brands if we want a new, smaller tv. For me personally it will be ok for another couple of years - my aim is for the second hand market, much due to the prices requested and the massive price drop on the second hand tv:s after a couple of years, so I won't suffer from this discontinuation yet.
