Don't stop dreaming... but also keep an eye on reality and don't get too disappointing :-( I would swap my BV14 if I could get an OLED in that classic design too...

Isn’t that, what a lot of Beoworldern have been yearning for for some tine now.

Let’s see what ‘some fancy type of soundbar’ will bring...

A quick update after the new management team presented their plan for the company.

Thanks Roger, not a very promising update!

I was going to point out the same thing.....many have argued for this.

Whatever they do, lets hope they execute well.

That, though, still represents a compromised vision vis-a-vis the past - whether thats sensible realism or defeatism is a whole other debate.

Back to watching Tesla stock fall....

I guess a company of B&O's current size with very limited staff can only do so much now - and B&O will have to stay away from products / combos that require heavy SW development. 

Companies such as Apple and Tesla are world leaders within SW in their product fields - the link made when the disruptive iPhone was launched from the management of companies such as Blackberry and Nokia seems rather funny now, but the same type of 

As much as I like and embrace all the new B&O tech, I must say: may my BV Avant/2014 last long ;-)

That said, if a ‘fancy type of soundbar’ will include proper speakers management (Atmos, here we come), PUC-controlling of external devices, updated HDMI support with Return Channel and controlling via BeoRemote, all hope is not lost.

I very much enjoy my motorized stand every day, with my ECLIPSE,

This would be missed.

Also that everything is in one.

I have not regretted my first Beovision (ECLIPSE) It is a joy every day, much more than all the other system that I have had.

As pointed out by Karel - there must be a market for the classy BV14 with OLED?

An OLED/LG updated BV14 would be a great farewell to B&O-tv’s....if it must be.

Indeed, though not sure if PUC controllers will be needed in the future.

The next gen HDMI spec is fairly lengthy, so i'm less sure about PUC going forward.

And with a sound centre being sold, is there a need for a Beoremote? Maybe, though not in its current form i think.

And like you, i am going to treat my BV12-65 and Avant 55 (gen 1) to a daily morning prayer.
