It's too bad they decided to change the appearance to the BV9-style... I don't really like the BV9, I much more preferred the "sharp" look of the BV4.

But I do like the idea of the IR-receiver built in to the frame itself, rather than having to mount a separate one on the wall!

In fairness to B&O, if they kept the flat aluminium panels we'd only moan that they never did anything to update it !!

I prefer the rounded edges of the BV9 myself - but hey, i have a BV9 and i'm used to it - and when i look at the older style BV4 i think it does look dated now.  Horses for courses though - we're all different.

Me like it!

I´ve never thought about BV4 before, but now SHMBO said NO! (with the tone of a brick wall) to BV9. This made me look at BV4 (with BL 7.2) instead.

The new corners give me a feeling of BV9. I never liked the sharp corners on BV4. Looking forward to see it in the flesh.

Actually, I will lend a BV9 over a weekend as a last try to change her mind. 😮

Found a picture. Posted more then 2 weeks ago, how coul I miss that.  Looks pretty much what was posted here earlier.

That said, since the press release and pictures are all over the internet why do they not update their website.

 Not sure what they mean by launch, maybe one of the dealer can post when they will hit stores.

The product page for BeoLab 4000 (with ICE amps) still hasn't been updated, so the new BV4 might be updated...next year?🙁

There hasn' t even been a press release in the PR section.
