Dear forum members,

I’m  very impressed of the many positive reactions on the Avant photoserie in our home. To all of you: thank you so much.

In a relative short time we have gone from a 10/40, 11/46 to the Avant 55”. Isn’t it  strange one always want to bye a bigger screen with a more brilliant image. Now for us, the Avant will be the last one. Bigger [and many times more expensive!] will not fit into our living.

Are we satisfied? 

SD image is moderate, but good enough.
HD is magnificent.
Bly-ray is super.
4K? We have to wait for. But the items on You Tube are fine.
Sound, especially in combination with the 9 and 12, is excellent.

P.S. For them who want to wait for the next generation Avant will be disappointed  because B&O has decided not to add in HEVC codecs. Next update firmware will be HDMI 2.0 [according to a test in FlatpanelsHD].

Out with the old.....

Wow it looks gorgeous, that's the only way i would have the avant on a table stand. Really looks good in your room enjoy it.

Great looking tv JoC! 🤒

New and fresh - enjoy!

Would it be possible to have a pic of the new with the speakers folded out - please?

Would make it easier to compare both.

Btw - welcome to Beoworld 🙂

Wow the Avant really does not look bigger than the BV7-40! 😉 Nice to see it on the table stand. Did you trade in your BV7?

Yup, traded in the BV7, it was a 6/7 year old MK3, so quite old, but I got a reasonable enough price....

Like MM I would like to see how tall the Avant is when playing.

Also did you ever rotate / swivel the BV7 .... and will you miss that ?

See more included pics....

And yup, I will sorely miss the rotation of the BV7, the only flaw (so-far)...

Hilarious, only in this forum would something like this be said! 

Lovely setup! The Avant really does go well (I'd say if not BETTER) with the classic B&O Designs of Lewis (BL8K and BL2) Lovely! Someone should photoshop the new avant into the first gen avant brochures. It'd likely look just as classic!

Looking forward to watch 3D on the Avant. (Charging in the picture).
