Hi guys

 Old customer phoned and engineer has had a look and the 7-40 is in the way out, led panel is failing, and you can get parts anymore  we had a chat and decided to go with this lg oled 55 cc set, with an adaptor plate from stb brackets, ae want to keep the surround sound, 1 option is an almsmano unit will this work ok? Other option I have looked at is a beolab 1 transmitter, will this work if I connect the speakers to the rj45 sockets, he has lab8000 as front lab 2 and lab6000 as rears or do I need anything else in the equation, the best option if I can find one is the beosystem 3, would appreciate feed back as to what would be the best solution

Hi,

I asked the same question in another post.

I got three suggestions:

- Almando multiplay II with HDMI ARC

- BeoSystem 3 or 4

- AV receiver with pre-out

Personally I only have experience with the last option. It's fine - but it is not hassle free. You will loose the  Bang & Olufsen magic.

You could consider a 'budget solution' like BV7-55 or an Eclipse 55 instead.
