I got two quotes for a Harmony here in Switzerland, still undecided between 65 and 77 inches, to replace my BV11-55 (not trading it in, I will move it to a different room).

I'm sold on the design, but it's a shame that the walnut cover only comes with bronze finishing instead of aluminum (my BL18 for 2015 are walnut/aluminum). This is typical B&O "we choose for you" mentality. I will look at the combination in real life before deciding.

Anyway, do your dealers still charge installation costs? I understand that margins are low, but being charged more than 1000 CHF (200 cabling for attached devices + work) leaves a sour taste...

I can also agree that installing a "Harmony" is not difficult. But with 2 men strong. Look at Bang & Olufsen Global Training.

Just watch this ;-)

Is that true??

Even for a floor stand version, where the “installation” isn’t really anything other than an unboxing?

That's exactly what I'm afraid of, so I think I'll ask for a discount for the installation.

That is not true. If this has changed, please include official documentation to cover that. When I bought my Beolab 50 it was "recommended" but not required. Same with Beovision, they even shipped it to me and included everything I needed to know.
