The BV14 wood grills will fit the BV11. Your wish has been granted! 😁

Holy mackerel!!!! Any word on pricing, colors offered?

Now if only B&O would release another sound system to add to the Essence and Moment in the collection... BeoMegaMan... can you share any juicy details?

From BV11-46 to...

...BV14 (technical shortcomings considered)

...BV Horizon.

Based on today's info, I will not be upgrading.

Might change my mind – pricing will be a key: I do know what I can get for €4500, 55", OLED, 4K.

Integration, and interplay, play a big role. Today, with an iPhone (or Android phone) as a remote, and sources being digital, it's easy to build a setup that is made of many brands, and have it all in the palm of your hand.

And given that B&O's design is "all over the place", it just does not hold the perceived value of "ooh, that's something only B&O does" to me anymore.

For me, B&O has always been worth it – experience, design, technical excellence – now I'm not so sure.

I used to buy (and exchange/upgrade) just about everything they had, from 1991/1992 to 2010. Then I got hesitant. Today, I may be even reluctant. And that is due to many things: design, quality, customer experience, technology, price, value, brand: if I opt out, it's not about one single thing, or two or three things. It's a sum of what I don't experience anymore.

So I am considering.

I'm waiting untill I see the BV14 and Avant 2 in the flesh.

But I'm very disapointed at the moment.

Horizon not my cup of tea (and made in Poland !).

At the moment I am inclined to wait for OLED and keep using our BV8s.

Of course experiencing the real things when they eventually come to Australia may change my mind.

FYI I was ready to pull the trigger if one of these announcements was "just right" as Goldilocks would have said.

If the bv14 had HDR and my dealer would offer an OK trade-in offfer for my BV11, then yes I would buy. As it is now, nope.

I own the BV11-40 and see no reason at all to upgrade, especially now I've found the wood fret will fit the BV11-40.

I'm really impressed with my BV11-40. The picture quality is superb and even SD is good I often do not realise I'm watching, say, the BBC in SD. You certainly notice on the BV12-65 though!

Been reading with interest what everyone has posted in my topic! Thank you for posting. I'm in Eastbourne for a few days chilling and today went to the local B & O store the sales man was very helpfull. Me and my lady spent some time looking at the two new tv's. The Horizon and the Bv 14. Have to say loved the wood finish grill and so did my other half. Picture. Was really good but could I live without HDR as was thinking "Great Pic but HDR even better" we so want this tv! Grrr.As for the Horizon looked a bit plasticky and little fat in the frame again good pic but it's the Bv 14. Wonder what the new avant will have,if HDR will be a buy.
