This is a fantastic idea. When official pictures of the
BV 10 started appearing last month, I emailed Gavin
Sykes at STB and asked exactly the same question. Here was his response:

We will probably not make a lower floor stand, ...

This might illustrate the idea. The floor stand doesn't nessecarily have to be lower. There are of
course many possibilities. Personally I think Loewe's floor stand is very beautiful. Makes the screen
float in mid air. B&O has utilized the concept of a round disk protruding underneath a square in
BV5, BV9, BV4-103 and now BV10. I am not so convinced about this design although I think the
BV7:s are extremely beautiful despite the round floor stand. I'm not sure where the difference lies?
Could have something to do with the speaker placed in between the screen and the foot plate.
I appreciate the fact that round disks may be the best option if you need to rotate the screen -
- but what if you don't? The BV10:s floor stand is not motorized as far as I know - and in this
case I would prefer a fixed floor stand.
