Thank you all for taking the time to share your experiences. I have upgraded from the trusty BV 11 to a Contour 55 with Anthracite frame & dark oak fret.
I would go as far to say the sound is far superior than the BV11 & BL 8000 combination. The Contour is a much neater installation & takes up less floorspace despite the larger screen size.
Picture quality is spectacular, ergonomics are great & I don’t have the need for any external devices.
Likewise I agree with StephenJCW the curtain & motorised floor stand are missed, but these factors are outweighed by the sheer quality of the Contour. Also I feel the purchase price is rather steep.
Overall a very welcome addition to my collection!
