Thanks for clarifying.

Hi Beogreg,

I would keep my BV11 46' big time! (I know I have one as well so I miss objectivity here)

In my opinion the design is so timeless that actually, B&O could just continue to update the panel and the system inside and keep this design in their portfolio for ages. For me it's like what the iPhone is to Apple (and actually they should have kept the first design now that it looks like a Samsung)

My B&O dealer even told me that in terms of picture quality, since there is not so many 4K sources yet, the BV11 will "treat" the source and provide a better picture than the Avant and the new BV14 with regards to the panel and the technology they used in the new TVs.

My feeling is that the next big improvement in B&O TV's offer will be the release of OLED TV.

Until then, BV11 46' as you said produce a WOW picture and a WOW sound ;)

And me. I swapped my BV11-55 for an Avant and regretted it! Sold it for a BV12-65 (which is superb).

Anyone else confused here. Avant Reloaded? Avant NG? And all this before an OLED version next year?

Thanks guys, you made my night easier.

Long live the BV11-46 !

Funny thing about this new overnight thread ... is that I woke this morning from a dream about a new form factor BeoVision that was slim, with bevelled edges, and smooth rear unlike the rear of the Horizon I saw last week.

So with the grandkids I made this model of what life would be like once we replace the BV8-40 wth the BV-NG-OLED-85 ....

In the music room on the other side of the wall.

But you're on the money ! I do intend to bring them into play with the BV; and then BL3s will become rears.

And the current BL4 rears will either become ATMOS or used in link rooms.

The "current" variant is the Avant Reinstated. The NG version will ship any day. If you can get a good deal on the current Avant - go for it! IMHO the outgoing Avant is a superior product quality wise - will be interesting to read the reviews on this forum.

I ear you Roger.

I asked my kids (8, 14, 17) and wife at dinner last night "should I trade our current tv for a bigger one ?" = NO (it's big enough).

I usually get that answer for the same question and get by (4 against me I still win !), but I think that one I will pass.

The 15% off is good of course but I want more for a "end of line/life" product !!!
