I am very cautions about giving advice about actual TVs since it a highly sensitive matter.. 🙂

What i can vouch for though,- without a dedicated center, you will be taking a step down i sound experience. 

Depending on how you use your TV on a daily basis, there might be other considerations, coming into play.

If you do want to give a new TV a shot, do me a favor and get yourself a copy of the Hateful Eight, that movie clearly illustrates why the center is really important!

About the menu, I actually think the Beolab1 is the recommendation for the BL20!

Thank you

I have been of the opinion that with my equipment, the Avant 55 Sound bar and the pre-curser sound processing is superior to that of the BV7-55 / BL7.6.

Is the BL7.6 loudspeaker itself a superior hardware setup to that of the Avant's bolt-on module - absolutely I think. Is the BV7-55 Sound-processing as good the Avant? - no it is no where near as good. Net result: Avant's sound in my opinion is much better than the BV7-55

Thanks. That's a long old wait for a TV. I am beginning to regret ordering it. I hope they aren't increasing the price!

 

 

You have a contract. Don't see how they could.

 

 

I understand your current frustration - I think the current pain would be mild to your anger if you'd taken delivery of expensive kit that was obsolete within a month or three.

I agree and have made that point to the dealership. I would just like a bit more communication and to be told it is going to be August or October, so at least I know when I might at least receive the TV. I'm sure once I have it, I will be delighted, and soon forget the delays.

In the same way food tastes better in a nicely designed restaurant the sound is better when you like the look of its sounce?

Source. Or was it sauce..

Since the Beovision 5 and the original Avant, the vocals have always been weak in my opinion. My 7-40 with the 7-4 had to be turned way up to hear the dialogue. The 10 wasn't too bad and the 11 better.

As good as my 7-55 still is, the sound on the current Avant is much better, the centre channel especially so.

As I said, a highly sensitive matter... 🙂

The DSP is doing an outstanding job in the AVANT trying to compensate the lack of volume , provided you dont push it! 

But technically, the Avant speaker, simply cannot match any of the speakers in the BL7 range. Physics alone will prevent it!

I am curious though, how do you match the BL90 with the Avant speakers?  8kw vs 30w how does that pan out ?
