So my saga has now finished...

After having the BV8-40 for about 6 weeks & not being over impressed with it, my B&O dealer (I cannot speak more highly of them) gratefully upgraded the unit to the BV7-40 which arrived this week, being so far from the dealer though I did have to set it up myself,(with a PS3, Xbox360, WDTV, and all the speakers etc!!!) Wow, you just gotta love those instructions from B&O!! But I am now over the moon with it, the picture is far better, does not suffer from the 'BV8 Opera effect'. The BV7.4 speaker is just the best :-)

The unit is a perfect replacement for my BV6-26 which is now in the bedroom.

Now I just have to go and watch some Blu Ray movies....

Congratulations. When B&O get the BV7-40 right - like the MKIII I have right now, which is flawless - it's a superb TV.

However, do you realise the 7.4 is a basic mono centre speaker? 7.2 would be far better if you don't have other speakers.

I'm using Beolab3's (4) and a beolab2. It's great to be able to hear the voices instead of too much surround through the 7.4 speaker.

Although I would hardly call the 7.4 speaker "Basic"

Cute? It looks like it wants to eat the TV... i'd be frightened of going to sleep with a cat in my house looking at me like that

I am curious about why, except for the obvious look of it, you have chosen to go on with the BeoCenter 2 when you have both dvd, bluray and a super cd player in your new set? Is it for radio only?

Looks like a disc-less 7-40...

Yes, cute cat!
