Spending a large amount on a product which has a lifecycle is always like hurling yourself off a diving board. Do you just stand there, or do you jump?

If you waited for a new OLED TV, and a new pair of speakers - would there be a Mk2 version of the OLED, and some newer and better speakers next year?

If you waited until next year, would there be a soon-to-be-released Mk3 OLED, with a Mk2 version of the new speakers - both better in some way..

It's the same with cars. It never stops. It never will.

All you can do is treat the present moment as a 'snapshot'. Freeze it, then ask yourself "Am I happy with this purchase - with how it looks, and how it performs. Does it do everything I want it to - and does it suit my needs. Am I happy with the price?"

If the answer to those is all 'Yes' - then just do it. 🤒

Hello guys,

Finally I'm moving to a new apartment and the dealer offered me a discounted price.

I got an offer for the Avant 55-NG, one Beosound Moment and a pair of BL20's

Budget was around $20K - $24K.

From what I'm reading, there will be a new TV coming out, the Eclipse and another pair of speakers as well.

The dealer showed me the picture of the Eclipse but I didn't like the design at all. My problem is that there is no 60 or 65 inch TVs available so I'm force to go for the 55. No room or budget for the 75 inches.

What do you suggest ? Do I hold my horses and wait for the new products coming out ? Would a LED TV outclass the Avant-NG picture quality ?

I'm totally lost. As for the BL20's they sound great but not sure if there will be a pair of speakers between the BL5 and the 20's .

Yes I know , I don't usually wait for what's next but from what I understand, B&O are releasing new products this month ? 

Gee, the below posts are very discouraging 🙁

So basically the Avant-NG software is buggy, the Beosound moment is full of issues and the BL20's are prone to random failure ? 

Didn't expect this for the amount of money I'm willing to pay....

Myself and others on this forum who have experienced this issue and have had warranty service have not experienced the particular issue in the thread again. Disconcerting as it was, I think it has been addressed by B&O.

You're right, however that these aren't issues one would expect from products at this price point.

From what the dealer told me, the Eclipse will be priced slightly less than the Avant for the 55" size.
