Already own a beovision 9 would you change to a beovision 7-55 3D ?

The only reason I'd consider moving to a 7-55 is for the audio experience. The picture on the 7-55 is arguably an improvement, but some people prefer the smoother picture you get on a plasma (BV9).

Yes. Do it !!  You'll never regret a 7-55.

Of course taste is an individual thing, but I would NEVER change my BV9 for anything else, as I don't feel any other TV comes close to the presence of the BV9. The way it "carries itself" almost like the original Avant does it all for me. I have never been a fan of the BV7 type TVs, that has to be on a stand or a wall and then have an external speaker underneath.

I don't have much experience with the picture of the BV7, but I love the picture of my plasma panel.

That's why I said the audio experience of the BV7-55 is vastly superior to the BV9. You can't better the BL7.6 as an 'all in one' speaker. Picture less so, as some people prefer the smoother picture of a plasma and the BV9 is one of the best. This smoother panel doesn't bode well for sport, but is superb for regular TV, movies etc. I want a lot of sport, so I prefer the sharper and 'faster' LCD panels. I find a plasma panel tries to smooth the grass, so tennis and football isn't as enjoyable.

As it stands right now, you can't really better a BV7-55 audio/video experience. It's currently the best in the business. Avant doesn't come close from an audio perspective and regular TV will look way better on the BV7-55, too.

Only problem for me - and it's a huge problem - is that the BV7-55 is ridiculously large and heavy. I've had a couple of chances to move up from the BV11-46 to a BV7-55, but I don't want something so heavy and large to dominate the room or my apartment. I like the slimline shape and definition of the BV11 as it's like a work of art on the easel stand. The BV7-55 is like someone's parked a small car in your living room. I'd say that the BV9 somewhat shares the 'slimmer' look and feel of the BV11.

I've started to have doubts about the Avant, too. Since the production issues and the two-week delay, tempted to cancel the order and/or wait for an updated BV11-55.
