Agree with Andriani.
I replaced my BV11 with the Eclipse last friday and my first impression of the sound(bar) is much better.

How well do the 3 channels cope with music? That's one thing that puts me off an Avant or Eclipse, the fact that all my music will have 2 channels (stereo) and the soundbar has 3.
It works amazingly well, fills most rooms with nice stereo separation. It still amazes me that just a tv can do it this well.
What about vibrations? A lot of work (or so I read) went into making the chassis of the 11 rattle free whereas Eclipse looks a little flimsy.
I’ve only been able to make it rattle when i played a test tone that was a constant 30hz at volume level 60. It was unbearably loud at that point though. I haven’t been able to make it rattle while playing music up till now, although i haven’t gone above volume level 65 and that is very, VERY loud!
On the Avant you set up a speaker group so it can use the left and right as left and right and no centre. Easy.How well do the 3 channels cope with music? That's one thing that puts me off an Avant or Eclipse, the fact that all my music will have 2 channels (stereo) and the soundbar has 3.
On the eclipse i wouldn’t do that, as the left/right speakers are the full range speakers. The tweater and the bass units are in the middle. Set it to left/center/right and let the tv figure it out for itself. Iam not sure on his input, but if it is Geoff Martin’s work, he did a fabulous job once again! It’s all figured out for you already 😁
for music i have bought two beolab 5 ( second hand) and i can listen
1 in stereo with beolab 5 it is very fine ( i listen streaming for apple tv or spotify)
2 in "stereo" with the sound bar it is less better than the beolab 5 of course but sufficient ( and better than beolab 7.6 , as i told it is the processor which is more fine)
in practice it is easy to listen music with eclipse , it is more "open" than beosound , and with bluetooth or apps ( deezer, spotify) or mediaplayer ( zapitti, apple tv) you can stream music from cloud or nas or usb storage
now the system is more efficient and practice ( it is a real smart connect tv.. the world change ...)
