Im hopeing the price of the easel stand or brackets is more palatable than the b & o offerings as i think The price is a bit

I like what i see in the Eclipse sofar and looking forward to seeing it real life its just those stand prices That make the tv over expensive as £800 to £1,000 would seem ok.

I know people are saying the eclipse is expensive,I think thats due to the over priced stands....

Maybe, but the 55" is still £8240 on a basic fixed wall bracket.

Lets see what stb cost of the stb stuff will be? Could be £7,800 with wall bracket?

Who knows.

I've been told that propper pricing will be next wednesday, hopefully pictures too😁

The five stages of getting a fresh-launched new B&O flagship product:

- Denial: I don't need one, this cannot be what we have waited for! It is not what I expected. I cannot believe they came up with such a product.

- Anger: What has happened to B&O! They have lost their core! Everything was better in the David Lewis era! B&O management has lost it!

- Bargaining: Well, you do get the best picture & sound in a well-designed product. Separates from other manufacturers would cost a lot less, but B&O has it all in a nice pretty package. And there's multiroom, and the beautiful BeoRemote. I am sure my dealer makes a good offer (a little something off the list price will be good). Having a few drinks while thinking it over.

- Depression: Your bank account takes a hit :(

- Acceptance: Boy am I lucky I got one. Such a joy to behold, on and off. It is special, like no one else. Raving on BeoWorld how magnificent it is. That picture! The sound! How great it actually looks. Admitting the early criticism was way too harsh. BeoVision 10 / 11 were love at first sight, but I'm sure we'll get along just fine together. My Eclipse!

B&O product history since 1991: Ridiculously long to list in a signature.

A bit like new managers at work too haha

I forgot to mention that the sound was excellent and the visuals were also

Good to see that STB brackets has a solution for my Foxtel box and games console.

The things I liked:

> Design was paletteable, and the BV14 and Avant are still nicer, but this is more avant-garde than "pretty" designer

> Visuals

> Sound

> Swapping sources was snappy

> Turned on quick enough, compared to the Avant

> floor stand was smaller

> full NL control

> good speaker for my room as i wouldn't need (nor can i fit) additional speakers at the front

Things I didn't:

> App Gallery was messy, compared to what I'm used to

> Price, but what i calculate, it is about $3000 premium to have B&O - is that worth it for the integration and ease of use with your speakers, etc, multi room and so on

> To operate the stand you go list > stand > manual control. Was better before you go List > Stand and you can use the control

> They could have made the remote bit a bit bigger and allow for more my buttons

> When you manually controlled the screen it jiggled and then moved

Questions:

> Would you use the App Gallery if you have an Apple TV?

> Why is it so expensive?

> Is it more expensive today than it was say in 2010 when a BV7 55 was $33,500 Aussie dollars plus stand - in which the BL 7.2 and 7.4 were $5,875. Granted those days are gone and I'm not talking about which is considered a better product.

> Will the BV 14 be updated with an OLED? If it was, I'm sure more people would buy that

I wrote in another thread or earlier here that when would i go in to the App Gallery - and i realise now that i would have to go there for the settings if i wanted to change the settings of a speaker group etc.

This is the psychological process for bereavement or a terminal illness. Never seen it applied to Bang & Olufsen.

I'm terminally Beo-struck since I got the beovirus in the early 90s.
