this is B&O, and they're not just single diameter frets with a frame, as are those for the BL18 -- maybe that justifies the price?

True, their widths are different with the outers being wider than the inner. But for the BV14, the width along their length is differe as well as what appears to be a wedge kind of shaping for them. In a nutshell, likely taking more time in forming their profiles than those of the BL18.

Order a black BV14-55 with oak today!! Arrives 1/9

 

 

Beautiful, Mr Anderson. Be sure to post pictures!

Sounds beautiful!  I am eager to see one but not available here in the USA until December.

Is it available with a black aluminium frame as well or am I just misunderstanding? All pictues seems to be on the "natural" aluminium frame and I cannot see that the specifications mentions anything about a black frame. 

December 2016 for Australia BV14

apparently the Horizon isn't far though!

I'm sure it is either black or natural aluminium.

Interesting. Just pulled the trigger on a second hand BV11-55 with black frame to replace my 11-40 with natural aluminium frame (and white plastics back). So no visual difference between the BV11 and the BV14 with a black frame either. Would be very interesting to see pictures from Mr Andersson when it has arrived. I am a bit afraid the all black version might dominate my room but I do not find the current color scheme on the frets that tempting either. Oak might be an alternative even though an expensive one...

It took some searching but I did find on the web page under specifications that black frame is available.

Thanks! It really to me a while but after your confirmation I was finally able to find it when I downloaded the product sheet. 

Does the Android TV OS takes over everything in the UI or just the Smart TV Apps? It's not clear to me if there is still a Beosystem (for setting up Speakers, calibrate audio etc...)
