Last night I visited the Winchester B&O store to see their presentation of the new AVANT which was fantastic and as you would expect I was also very interested in the new BeoRemote One..

I was very impressed with both products and love the way the table stand works and also the floor stand with its double counter rotation mode where the TV can turn in the opposite direction to the screen which move the screen out or in the distance of the diameter of the stand base. This means the TV can be close to the wall, but when it turns it moves away from the wall to allow for a complete turn left or right without hitting the rear wall.

In my view the BeoRemote One will sell like hot cakes because like the Beo4 it is easy to use. It still has the LIST button, but the display scrolls through the commands smoothly. It can be used with old B&O products for all the basic functions.

The following are the key features of the new BeoVision AVANT:-

Please find attached the User Manual for the BeoRemote One

What is the price of the different stand options please?

Looking at the various reviews now appearing online the Avant is an out and out winner.

Latest specs ahead of the competition, the moving stands/ hinges providing the wow factor, and for most reviewers it seems that they cannot believe the price (in B&O terms!) notwithstanding the fact that it is still expensive relative to run of the mill TV's.

So will the Avant plus the WiSA speaker systems finally give B&O the financial lift that it needs?

Hopefully... if they can only produce enough to satisfy the demand while the advantage lasts. This is the turnside of pricing the products so that they will sell more. If they run out of production capacity, rectifying that would need large investments again. I suspect that is one of the reasons why so many products have been discontinued lately.

If you can get the grille in black I'm sold.

Amazing spec and amazing vfm

If I was Loewe I'd be VERY worried by this tv and the direction bno are going , in many ways the top end Sony's and Samedung's are finished too.

Who on earth would buy a  boring sony instead of this ?
