There is a tv - and there is a BV.

Super nicely done!

Please, allow me to disagree: It's super cheesy, C'mon, fly thought PCB's and speaker frets like a vintage "intel inside" ad, skin hair rising, the guy wiping away a tear (watching Ad Astra, right?) and the wife, who was screaming in the store because "we could pay full scholarship to our two children with only one of those speakers" and now just grab the hand of her so sensible man… Huffff !

"Press Pause and Play", that one was very nicely done.

According my humble opinion marketing videos are good to make as they boost sales. Furthermore having read the course of action and goals of the company for the months to come I totally understand they are trying to convince potential buyers that their products in the home cinema market are of high quality etc etc. What they haven't understood all these years is that their products in the home cinema market are just that, beautiful to look at. Yes they do have great picture quality, exquisite sound, luxurious feel BUT on the fundamentals they do not deliver.

And to explain myself I will just remind you the Beovision 7 which had a video output for feeding a projector. Moreover we can think of the Beosystem 4 a AV receiver which WAS a stage manager as it had all this feature that someone who builds a home cinema would value (control inputs/outputs, with timing control, etc etc).

Prices of the above were between 4-12k (at least in my country). The home cinema product line up of today is a 9-12k TV of 55 and 65 inch and a 15-20k (not the 88 inch) of 65,77, and 88 inch. It is easy to understand that there is no comparison on the cost, maybe the eclipse could be a comparable solution but it lacks the projector output. Further more we are asked to pay the amount of money that we would spend for a year at a private school (at least here in Greece) to buy a product that its panel would be old in around 5-7 years....

In our house (I am 39 years old) we never had any other brand of TV or Audio system, or surround system (speakers included) but lately and sadly I find myself looking into other brands as their product offer makes more sense.

And to give a solution (as I am the type of person who doesn't like to just moan about stuff) a soundcenter that could be connected to both ANY TV and ANY projector, which would have all the audio goodies sound decoders, etc and video goodies 4k etc in the right price would be a product that most of the potential home cinema buyer would consider.

I see what you mean....but I also see no need for a projector/screen in our livingroom.

Thus I don’t miss a monitor out port.

As for the costs....you can get away with less than 2 x 90 plus 2 x 50......

If I were to huy an Eclipse/Harmony, I’d reuse my existing speakers.

But of course B&O wants to highlight/market their newest speaker products.

And there are those who can afford buying these....wirhout missing out the option for a private school for their children.

And - I know this is delicate - I don’t miss ‘all the audio goodies’. Would not know where to place the needed extra speakers in my living space.

Maybe this is the point = this is not about creating a ‘home cinema’ -  it is about options for a cinematic experience in a living room/area.

Sure this can be a solution for some people, it is not a solution for the clientele like myself, are you suggesting we should move to another brand?

 

Furthermore on which basis would someone give a hefty amount of money after the fiasco of the Moment and products like Beovision 14? Everyone is free to spend his/her income the way they want, I am not judging this I am simply saying that when I spend my income I would like to buy something more than looks...

 

If you want TV and Projector, and ATMOS speaker setup.

Then yes it would be best to look elsewhere, as B&O do not offer this.

But when you are use to B&O it will be a hard shift.

I have had the non B&O, and it just don't work as well, at least imo.
