i'm intrigued. wood is classic B&O :)

Is this FB post by B&O AU today a heavy handed hint ?

Since the very first products rolled out of Bang & Olufsen in 1925, wood has been a material of choice for us.

To us it represents something warm and alive. It’s an organic and fresh opposite to metal, glass and plastic – and a natural way to apply a ‘furniture-feel’ to our technology. Read more, here: bit.ly/1RJOEsr

Sound I sell my Avant and wait for the new one? 

Kind regards, Michael

Rumours are not fact; so I would not.

What would you watch if it was delayed / had issues ?[:\'(][:\'(]

When I was 14 and living in Docklands E14 with my parents, I managed to convince them to buy a Bang and Olufsen TV and video.  It was an LX2802 and I remember it had wood panelling... :-)

 

God knows where that TV is now!

That's a difficult one Michael. It's finding someone who is prepared to pay a HUGE amount of money for what is a second hand TV. 

I know that when I sold my BV6 at 18 months old, the dealers ran a mile - B&O of York didn't even return my calls. In the end, I sold it for a quarter of what I paid for it :(  And it was in a truly immaculate condition. The only reason that I sold it was because I was buying a student house and I didn't want any sort of mortgage/loan.

A student house for £750?

Bargain!

 

do Avants come up for sale often though? There may be a market but a purchase of that kind may need the reassurance of a reseller as opposed to a private sale. Hence a trade-in perhaps.

True, but hard to say how much an Avant drops in price already. It is still up to date and my TV is from this year and with warranty until 2021. 

Michael, get yourself a new UHD Blueray player and just start enjoying your Avant.

Wait 3-4 years for when the Mk2 of whatever is coming out. I love my 7-55 but I am very aware of how good UHD and HDR will be in comparison, but just not yet.
