MM-

I think that we both agree that B&O offers elegant control. Our point of difference is -- and always has been -- whether this is done via a BeoVision or a BeoSystem. I know that you prefer a BeoVision. However, I prefer a BeoSystem. I always have. Through the years, I have enjoyed having an AV7000, BeoSystem 1, BeoSystem 3, and now BeoSystem 4 handle all of this. I just will not pay over $10,000 for a TV. What I appreciate most from B&O is the sound quality. I see no reason why B&O can't cater to the needs of both of us.

Honestly my concern is not so much what you or I would want....note, that I haven’t even talked about what I personally would want.

What I am thinking of is, what B&O must/will have to do in order to keep the general costumer satisfied....means sell A/V solutions (and maybe additional speakers).

What do they need to present, that will sell is the question.

I am pretty sure, that you and I will find a solution, that may suit us better, if we are not satisfied with what will reach the stores.

This was spoken by B&O's 'secret' PR machine. 🙂 Then I believe that B&O should not do anything.

Remember there are both HDMI 2.1 and eARC on a LG OLED 2019 TV.

"A box with 1 HDMI 2.1 / eARC output for the wired connection, and WiSA can be controlled with an app such as
Beosound Edge etc. Speakers can be set via the app. (My 5.1 system). No remote control, no Puc, no picture
from it to a display. All packed in a plastic box that can be stored behind the TV. Easy."

I dare not write who wrote this. 🙂

I had a Loewe Bild 7 with a motorised stand, OLED screen a 5.1 decoder built in and could connect to by beolabs via WISA or hardwire and its worked great. For 2 years nearly I always thought the eclipse was overpriced but after doing a part exchange and taking advantage of the £1500 off the telly B&O were offering i took the plunge.

No regrets from me as my speakers connect via WISA, i have a nicer movable stand, the nice remote, speaker groups and it connects with my other speakers int he dinning room via the beosound core.

If your not in the B&O ecosystem then an eclipse s probably overkill. For me it made sense after spending 2 years trying to find work arounds for my LOEWE tv connecting to me speakers and spending loads of cables, adapters, the almando box, a LG universal remote etc.

I could get sony. LG, Panasonic but i just wanted simplicity in the end plus an elegant solution for my existing speakers.

@ Epsilon20

However, just like everyone here at BeoWorld, had expected that time, B&O constructed the Beo SountCenter
for C8 panel in 2018 and C9 in 2019, after consumer choice, the B&O stores had sold many more Eclipse.

It seems to me, that you want to talk around of the experience and result of the tests of Epsilon.

You simply don’t want it to be true.

Now where do you see the (big) difference/s in the C7 and the C8 panel of the LG part - and a real need for an exchange?

Are you just nitpicking, maybe!

And how do you know, whether there may be a 2019 update of the Eclipse or not (or even a new tv based on the 2019 models).....the 2019 tv’s from LG are not even released yet.

@ Millemissen  

I'll try again
B&O should have made their Soundcenter so that it could be adapted to
many TV models. It had taken a little longer time, and given a bigger sale.

Not to pick on you, but the thing is LG like most mass consumer TVs, only produces a model for a year or less then it's gone. B&O (I would hope) has a warehouse full of C7 sets for replacements and sales. Once that inventory is gone I hope they have a plan to account for that because LG is not going to make another batch of C7.

No there's not a big difference between a C7 or C8 agreed.

B&O simply retrofitted a C7, we know this, and the future of this product looks sketchy.
