I will enter this competition after my birthday (Dec 12). Been to my dealer today with SHMBO. We saw and played with the Beo5. I told her I liked it and that it would be a good present. I think she understood.

très subtil...

but a big issue will be the floor can carry those 500kg, as the stand is approx 1 sqm. Most floors will not.

I just come back from my dealer, had a very interesting conversation about all kinds of products with him. He told me that he actually has seen a design study of the so called BV10. It is a 135" screen, not a 112" and he said it really was an amazing product if it was going to be built. The weight of 500 kg is correct, Alex.

frankmj: petz: My dealer told me the new frame will not be for this year though. Patrizio What frame ?!? /Frank Petz was talking about the new frame for BV4, which will be shaped like the BV9 frame.

Henry: Born just outside Turin, Italy. Lived in Milan for quite some time and now living in London, UK. I'm half English and half Italian. which half is the better one?

Peter sure is right, you simply have to compare them and find out what suits you best. Another thing you should not forget is that the BV9 absolutely needs a seperate pair of speakers, the integrated speaker only being a mono speaker, whereas the BV7 with BL7-2 provides a pretty good sound by itself.

jandyt: Thanks for AFAP Tom! It has been added to the first page of the "What does **** mean?" thread. Andy T. my pleasure!

I have not been to such a store yet, but I would run away afap. Horrible!

9 LEE: Puncher: GuyHui : One bottle of champagne for the first member from the Easter Island ... Guy Have I won??? No. That's actually classed as cheating. I do wonder if their Chickens lay 'Easter Eggs' though.. Lee O Lee, you are so funny tonight. Have you been eating clowns?
