My local store in NYC will have it in a couple of weeks.  $8,000 for the TV + $2,000 for the motorized floor stand.  Not sure of pricing on the table stand or wall mount.  'Doubt there will be any promotions - they'll probably have trouble keeping up with demand without any.   And no, they wouldn't be interested in your hifi gear.

p.s. - smart move on holding off on the BV11  😕

Thanks for the info. Geez $2K for the motorized floor stand WOW. And I kinda suspected that I'd have to sell off my current gear! 

Serves me right for getting into the mindset that I needed to get out of the Olufsen brand -- though the experience I had with the BV8 would have driven anyone batty!

Again, thanks for the information; glad I held off as well!

I guess I'm going to have to consider another placement option, then, because I had planned on spending a bit more $ on actual L and R speakers (or a sub at the same time as the Avant purchase).

All the stores in NYC have it on display.  All the stands are $2,000 as far as I know ... doesn't seem THAT unreasonable considering they were always $1,000 before and now they do A LOT more.

I've not been in the B&O scene for quite a few years now so the last television I owned with a motorized stand was a B&O Avant store display model I got at a significant discount -- so I've been spoiled in that the price of the stand was built into the price of the television.

Although I'm glad I waited in purchasing the BV Avant, I think I need to begin doing research with regards to what the biggest bang for my dollar will be. Obviously, a BV-11 (46) + stand will be less expensive and I can use some extra cash for an external pair of speakers / sub. That'd be more $$ along with the Avant.

Additionally, I'm of the opinion that more moving parts mean more chances for faults, or things that can go wrong, so the BV-11 without the moving speakers may be less of a "worry" in the long run. Who knows. It is a peculiar problem to have.
