Hey guys!!! I had gone to visit my dealer yesterday to select the colour for my new BV11 (Black or Silver - which one is better, any pics) My dealer told me that B&O would be discontinuing its current product range and introducing fresh products. He hinted towards BV7 specifically... Anyone knows anything about that?? Coz its their most beautiful TV till date and it would be a shame for it to go. 

My dealer claims there's no new TV until Autumn/Fall, where B&O will introduce this new TV which will sit between the V1 and BV11. No new BV7 planned as it's selling poorly through 2013. It's become difficult to shift.

IMHO, having owned 6 BV7s over the years, it's starting to look clunky, heavy and a bit old-fashioned.

BV 7 is def. going. summer, fall will come the replacement

To me the BV7-40 always looked great but felt the 7-55 looked absolutely enormous, particularly next to the 11. As for the BV11 bezel, the black looks great as it "disappears" when the TV is on.

How does a TV that sits beneath the BV11 become a BV7 replacement? :)

As I said, my dealer claims the BV7 has sold poorly through 2013, so a replacement is unlikely. A brand new TV, more likely. Even B&O aren't silly enough to produce an updated BV7 design when it's struggling to shift. Remember the BV7 sits well above the BV11 in terms of price. The new TV will be between the V1 and BV11.

I'll be making a visit to a corner shop in London tomorrow, so i'll see what the future might bring us.
