Yes, I think that (the two part approach) is the most likely route.

How it will look matched with a screen, who knows.

And how (or if) they incorporate a motorised wall mount, who knows.

And if the sound centre is more obviously available to buy separately from the screen, then we're not in V2 territory, but something else. Probably unhelpful to call it a Beosystem (5), as previous version did some video / image management, whereas the sound centre's dont really. Pedantic point perhaps.

Anyway, nothing soon from what I see / understand, despite those claiming ISE (?? what happened?) or April?

Interestingly, the Harmony has one Sound Center with different sized speaker panels. So you can switch sizes while retaining the Sound Center. If the redesign is something more fundamental, B&O could use the same approach?

In that case the Sound Center could also double as the much wanted “BeoSys 5” integrated in a centre speaker?

Canvas shows that you can achieve pretty neat integration. (Not seen in flesh though...)

Today my dealer told me the V2 comes later, in April was more than optimistic

I was told the same today. And there is a cool new multi room speaker coming too. That’s all I know Beovision Eclipse, BeoLab 17,Beolit 15, Beoplay A2 Active

The new speak apparently is a floor version of beosound 2

I hope the virus will not delay it one more time.

I had heard not before August, but probably you know it better than me.

Yours,

Zero chance of even August.

Zero.

A few weeks ago,  Henrik Baron Vejrup (sp) mentioned in the Mikepedia podcast that the V2 Eclipse will be simply an adaptation of the current version with a C9 screen.

An adapter bracket will be installed on the Sound Center to allow a stock C9 screen to be used and the "trick"  mentioned by "specializten" two weeks ago (installing simply the B&O software on the C9) will allow integration of the screen and sound center. Apparently, the screen inventory for the current Eclipse is about to be exhausted and this will allow continuing production.
