I'm keeping my BV9 until it dies. 

Hi,

I own a BV9. and wouldn't exchange it for any tv about the same screen size. In respect to audio: The BV9 has only a center speaker (but a very good one). The rest is done by my BL9s :-)

I start thinking about exchanging my BV9 for an 75" Avant though.

Me too. I will get it fixed if possible but if not then I will buy another TV. For all round viewing I believe this is the best TV for the job. Since the OP has owned one for a while though it might be that a change is due, and if this is the case then a 7-55 or new Avant seems like the obvious choice. Good luck, only you know what you want. B&O is personal to us all.

Interesting result! I feel i would have done the same thing if funds permitted, so that you have the best of both worlds. I never watched sport so when i had a BV9 it was just to die for! Most TV here In Australia is still in SD and the BV9 was so clever in how it dealt with SD content. I also like the stately aesthetics the BV9 has, but the BV7 55 is just as impressive on its table stand sitting on the floor. I just wasn't a fan of the clinical image i saw on it. To be honest i don't really watch much TV at all and i sold the BV9 because it was just not being used but depreciating fast.

Send us a picture of your setups :)

One thing about the BV9 though, was, for me it 'lost its innocence' when i took the front off. Seeing how the panel just sits in there like someone has made their own tv in their garage, and how the speaker is just, well a driver in an mdf cube. Has anyone else done this? The reason i took the front off of mine was to hide the set top box and other electronics inside the cabinet.
