Have to say its funny: When Avant and Eclipse first arrived, I kept reading on this board that the BV10-65, with a picture processor from 2005 (BS3) was just as good or better than the the 4K picture and sound coming from a BeoSystem 4 based system and then even the Eclipse. Now that a TV with an extra 2 cores of graphic processing and 3 minor extra capabilities arrive, it makes the Eclipse obsolete. Man!!!! Also, lets not forget the GX has no B&O Stand or luxury/tightly integrated sound system.
You and your Eclipse. You're determined to convince yourself it's the best possible purchase you've ever made. Some of the things you say are ridiculous. In another thread you're trying to convince yourself a panel designed in 2016 is 'better' than the one in the Eclipse v2.
As I said, multiple times, if the Eclipse was more value for money, I'd have bought one. I'm not spending over £8K on a 2017 panel, when I can buy two wall-mounted GX's, 55" and 65", both with a Stage, and BeoRemote, and still have money left.
And I'd rather have my GX 65" flush and wall-mounted than taking a HUGE space in the corner of my living room. I've had motorised stands powering all kinds of B&O products from a BV7 through to the Avant and rarely ever used the thing. I perhaps turn the TV a few CMs. Never needed to turn it 90 degrees or any position where a motorised floor stand from a distance is genuinely useful. It's a gimmick for me. It's there - in all it's chromed 90's design glory - for us to show to our friends what our mega-expensive B&O TV can do from our sofa. "Hey guys, can your TV do this? This is why I spend £10K on a TV when you must think I have more money than sense!".
