Two new TV's coming; one being called AVANT ....

39 replies

Upon asking my query posted here yesterday in a B&O store in Germany (my query on BL5+3 with Samsung instead of expensive 65" B&O TV), the knowledgeable salesman said I probably want a bit of patience since

a) later this year there will be a replacement for the BV 12 (dropping plasma) in a 75 and 85" version and

b) in "a few weeks" a very affordable new "glassy" TV up to 55" which will be given the name AVANT...

Interesting. 4K, too. If it's "very affordable", it might be worth moving up from my BV11, particularly if it offers an improved audio performance, which my dealer suggested it would.

Dealers should be finding out this week what's coming out over the next few months! They are being invited to Brussels to view the forthcoming products.

The affordable thing is something I have heard a few times. About the same as the 7-55 I have bought :-/

But no BluRay player, and no 7-6 type speaker power though. Either way and considering I've just spent a ton of cash, regardless of how good it is, you can expect me to rubbish it in favour of the BV7.

It is getting more and more exiting - are we getting two different new BV's???

What I have have heard, is that one new is coming, starting out with a 55'er version.

It's springtime 🤩

Unfortunatly my understanding of the term 'affordable' is rather different from what B&O seems to understand 😠

There is a tv - and there is a BV.

You still have to review the argument for what you get - the value proposition with B&O. One example is my BS5000 system - yes, it's a great stereo system, but it's also my whole house audio system with speakers off the relay boxes in 4 rooms and counting, all with control for source selection, volume, etc. in the remote rooms. I still think it's incredible that I can control my turntable from my bathroom!

As a second example, my BV Avant - surround sound processor, stereo speakers, universal remote, IR system controller, video processor, audio system integration, and excellent video screen. How much would it cost to buy equivalent quality and performance in separates? Then, would you pay an additional premium to have it all integrated and installed in a stylish package? In the end, I think you are getting what you pay for.

I miss my avant. :(

Let's hope the new one if it exists, can match it. Age aside, how does your 11 compare?

I got the same Information from my dealer. Affordable new BV coming in may, starting with 55´´ screen. Sounds interesting....

@ Flappo :  Enjoy the New Avant is coming ! 🤒
