I know it have been disussed before, but never models are probably on the market.
What is a good option to a Beosystem3/4.
I would like to change out my BV7 for a non-B&O 4K television. But my setup consists of Beolab speakers, so I am in nead of a surround receiver with rca/phono connections.
Are there any good options? And of course price does matter a lot.
@leonsgonewild
is a 4K tv really that important to you?

I was constantly evaluating same idea, but then I realized above Marantz (which I like a lot btw) is around 2K EUR. Then add 3-4K EUR for a hiend 4K TV. Then add something to send it wirelessly to new Beolabs. Add value of a motorized stand. Add front speakers for non-B&O TV. And then you get to Avant 55" price +/-.
With a lot more boxes, wires etc. *sigh*
I would second the recommendation to pick something with automatic room setup, my Marantz receiver (my audio system is B&O, my video system is separate) has it and it worked flawlessly. I'd also pick something that provides a power on signal via a DC output and use cables that would take this and use it to drive the power on signal in the PL connector, if you're using wires.
I have a Yamaha RX-A830 with a Transmitter and Beolab 17 and Beolab 19
PROS:
2 HDMI output, one for tv one for projector
Cheap was 500€ for receiver, a bit less for the transmitter.
Cheaper to change tv, as that is something I do a lot.
Bulit in Airplay.
Works great, have a Logitech harmony to have less remotes.
CONS:
Not the beoremote one, it would be nice and I guess almost worth it.
I guess in my case there is not many cons, as the beosystem will not suit my needs, and I change TV way to often for justifying buying B&O.
I am not saying never an avant, as it is a really really good tv, but in this changing world I feel that speaker is the only item you know is not going to change to much.
Maybe an older surround processor / preamplifier would fit your needs. For example a Rotel RSP-1069. Or one of the older flagships from ARCAM, Onkyo, Denon, Yamaha, Sony...
A very good benefit of the better equipped preamps is the possibility of source naming: Then you can see on its display which current source is playing. Instead of "DVD" it can show "PS 4", "Beosound"... etc.
The current 4K TVs are doing a very good job at upscaling signals but you should check if the 4K-TV is fast enough for gaming. The first versions where not!
I do have a spare BV7-32. Is it the same surround module in this as in a BV7-40? Can´t get my head around what I read on beophile...
From what I understand there is a Beosystem 3 in my BV7-40. But is it the same in the BV7-32?
