I‘m thinking of getting an Eclipse or a Harmony (both 65 inch) with a set of Beolab 18s.
Why should I choose one over the other?

Eclipse or Harmony?

Metoo I’m picking the harmony because when it’s off it’s visually smaller and fades in the background. I like the mechanism and that the wood covers are wood and aluminium. Both TVs are great and you can still put peripherals on the back if needed.
I’ve got an appointment next week to see/hear them at a dealer in Belgium. Currently I have an Eclipse mk 1 with Beolab 18 so I am anxious to hear the Harmony in that setup.
Ah well you will be in the best position to compare. If you have the current eclipse why not just keep that for the time being ? Just want a change ? I recall the eclipse sounding fantastic.
That’s great news Michael. Looking forward to seeing a picture or two!Metoo I’m picking the harmony because when it’s off it’s visually smaller and fades in the background.

One of the reasons to get a Mk 2 instead of a Mk 1 is Airplay. it’s used a lot in our household
I've just been through the same exercise, obviously more difficult as going to see anything at a dealer is virtually impossible!!
My choice was between 65 Eclipse V2/65 Harmony and 77 Harmony (no external speakers). In the end I went for the 77 Harmony (delivered last week) and am so pleased that I did, it's fantastic. The fact that the speakers hide the bulk of the screen when closed makes it less imposing in the room that my previous 55 wall mounted LG and Stage. Even SWMBO is happy and says it's really a piece of furniture.....
Luckily in Belgium viewings are possible for now.
A decisive factor would be if the Harmony has just 1 power lead! I find the 2 on the Eclipse so annoying, looks to me that somebody didn’t do a proper, design, job. 😁
Wow, is that really a decisive factor. You can also buy a kabel bundling spiral to hide multiple kabels. Saves a lot a € 😕. A decisive factor would be if the Harmony has just 1 power lead! I find the 2 on the Eclipse so annoying, looks to me that somebody didn’t do a proper, design, job. 😁
It is! 😂 I haven’t got enough sockets in the wall: 2x AppleTV, 2x Eclipse
