I have been in the same dilemma and my conclusions are that the Eclipse is far to expensive; a pane replacement will be at significant cost and it cannot be upgraded; another thing to consider is longevity of oled panels,  on AV forums there are a significant minority who have had multiple screen replacements due to faults- and LG is sympathetically replacing said screens. I doubt B&O would be so helpful.

If, like me, you have additional B&O speakers ; even if the stage MK2 has Wisa, the quality of sound I would have thought be lacking- its all about the sound processing and having recently moved from a BS3 to a BS4 based system I can vouch for a significant change in audio quality.  Surely B&O will not provide such a cheap mechanism to bypass their own TV offerings.

Could you provide som more info om how you attached the LG C9 and what this setup will require please? I bought an Eclipse too and is currently considering the Harmony due to the fact that I cannot update the LG C7 panel.

Hi,

Here are the Eclipse and Harmony Sound Center Prices :

XE.com 20th June 2020 : 1 EUR = 7,45684 DKK

Price for the Eclipse Sound Center 55 inch :

• 7031 : 30000 DKK => 4291,EUR
• 7031 (piano black) : 32800 DKK => 4398,32 EUR
  

I would buy the Harmony Sound System alone and upgrade with newer Oled screen. Screen being the part that depreciate de most financially.

Cheers,

Hi Mikipedia,

You are right, I edited my post and made the correction.

Not sure about the size of the Eclipse in the price list tho'.

Thanks

I have a similar setup, worth some details here

1. It definitely makes sense.....depending on your room and how you set things up.

2. You are waiting for something, that we don’t know anything about....maybe it won’t come?

MM

I've just bought an LG GX 55" + Stage and have no real complaints at all! Picture is better than I had anticipated and I even quite like the LG remote (waiting a firmware upgrade so I can use the BeoRemote).

So impressed I've already asked my dealer to set aside a 65" GX for another room.

The crux is this: the 55" and 65", two TVs with 2020 panels, both with Stage sound bars = cheaper than 1 x Eclipse 55"

So your #3 option now includes the standalone Soundcentre ..... which seems to be exactly the same as that in the eclipse. 

So anyone worried about buying an eclipse - and not being able to reuse the speaker should they eventually want to replace the screen should be ok - just unscrew the TV from the speaker - and plug in something new.

At least Im hoping it works that way as it makes my plan of getting a soundcentre for my LG CX 55 make a lot more sense ...

I might need to ask the local store to borrow a stage to see if its all i actually need  on the main TV (and finally jettison my 20year old lab 6000’s) OR really cements the idea of getting the soundcentre.

(Life would be so much easier if there was as much info on the B&O site about the standalone sound centre as there is about the eclipse AND i could see it at a local store).
