Got quoted around 45000 DKK for SoundCenter, necessary adapter for mounting , textile front.

 

Mounts are the same price as before.

It’s the cut out from the soundcentre which is the problem and won’t fit a c panel I think....

True they are different. I meant stb brackets can probably find a way forward. An adapter to be seated in between I would expect with a rubber or plastic insert below the screen. But I don’t know, just guessing it can be done.

The new soundcenter seem to use eARC as it supports pcm 7.1 etc and not only compressed sound. So it’s more flexible but the old one should work as now at least.

I hope so the sound centre v1 is so a good bit of kit to throw away so to speak

Yes but as long as the panel works no big reason to change anything already I hope. The panel should have a few more years of life to offer even though it’s an organic light source.

It's about the same price as the v1 with a motorised floor stand.

I've just asked my dealer if it's possible to take an Eclipse v2 + stand + back plate, without panel, and if I can use my existing GX 55" panel.

I can't imagine this reduces the price by much though! The LG GX 55" is now £1700 here in the UK, meaning in theory, the above combo is £7000. Gulp.

OK if they market it as an accessory LG TV stand - very poor if they market it as a Beovision considering what that name once stood for.

Have they removed Spotify Connect from 2nd Gen? I hope not.

In that case I’d rather call it a ‘B&O Sound Center with an accessory LG TV’.

Fair enough but it isn't a beovision!
