Hi Emil,
I agree, the older CRT Avant did indeed sell to very old people at the time. However, on this forum alone, there are two guys aged 30ish and under 30 that own the new Avant. And quite frankly, B&O are so damn desperate for sales - they'll see to anyone. I know that when I lived in Liverpool, the only people that bought the BV9 were the drug dealers! I know that as the old sales guy told my vulgar radio sales woman and she told everyone. And yes here in the UK, many B&O shops do use Blu-Ray players and my gosh, it will make sense for them to use the new 4K Blu-Ray HDR players as that does seem the best possible way to watch 4K films to many enthusiasts.
The old CRT Avant was without doubt the most stylish TV available in its day. It also happened to be arguably the best picture quality available (may be a Sony component system matched it). It had the best sound of any TV (without surround, - external speakers could be connected directly to make it even better) and it was the audio distribution hub of your home - in short it was out there on its own as the state of the art. It too was bought by the glitterati...........
.........which leads me to your "very old people" comment - why do you continue to turn up here, post complete bollocks and make an utter twit of yourself? Why is anyone who doesn't fit into your very narrow (and shifting) lifestyle either "vulgar" or "old"? You, my friend, have an awful lot to learn - I only hope the comedown is gentle!
