So the floor stand is only ~300€ extra. That's not bad at all.Wow, very good price! At B&O Copenhagen pricing is as follows Contour with cloth + wall bracket: 5.360 Contour with cloth + table stand: 5.460 Contour with cloth + floor stand: 5.680 Wood + 690
I’d get a 55 version for my bedroom too, in theory.But no power link , no motorised wall bracket - too limiting for the priceBeoSound Stage Floor Stand: 700€ LG CX 48": 1.199€ (or 55" for 1.299€) BeoSound Stage: 1.500€ BeoRemote One: 300€ Total: 3.699€ or 2.999€ with wall brackets. Contour: starting from 5.299€ with wall bracket. The aluminum frame is pretty expensive! 48" is a bit too small for me, but I really like Contour's design. I'd take a 55" version over Eclipse any time. Any info on the Contour floor stand price? KMA B&O product history since 1991: Ridiculously long to list in a signature.
I fully agree. I think the package look very nice, and it could be seen as a possible replacement of my trusted BV10-40, but the lack of Power Link connections is frustrating, having invested in B&O Lab 18's, 4000's and Lab2 to have surround. Wonder if it is possible to fix this by adding an Almando box to the Contour and still use the built in speaker as center channel ? Spoke to a dealer today advising this was not possible, and he wanted me to buy the Eclipse instead. He may have had his reasons for not telling the full story. Anyone in the forum having any knowledge of whether the Almando box would be a possibility ?? Adding the cost of an Almando box would still be cheaper than going for the Eclipse mk II.

There won't be a 55" version (that's the Eclipse) as it's using the Stage technology, which just happens to be the same width as the 48".
ie. a 55" would require a brand new speaker, which makes the entire project custom and not using existing components. Not going to happen.
Correct... the Contour is 48" only. A 55" would be in the price range of the Ecliple with less features
My B&O Icons:
I'm sure you are correct and that this is B&O's reasoning as well.However, Stage would fit in a 55" Contour frame: just small spacers at both ends of Stage, inside the frame, and slightly longer speaker covers. I can see how this could be done. Easily, actually.There won't be a 55" version (that's the Eclipse) as it's using the Stage technology, which just happens to be the same width as the 48".ie. a 55" would require a brand new speaker, which makes the entire project custom and not using existing components.

Guys, we discuss things that just aren't going to happen.
The 48" Contour is B&O's "basic" entry-level TV. If you want to move up to 55" or higher, you have the Eclipse. You won't get a 55" Contour. No clue why we're even thinking it will happen.
