As hidden in another thread - the 7-40 & the 7-55 is now available in white. The metal parts will be in natural alu color, but the rear of the sepaker will be in white as will the cabinet of the telly (see enclosed picture). The BeoLab 7-4 is not available to order yet. Please note that the 7-32 is not available in white. Roger

I am not 100% sure, but I belive that the S/PDIF-socket was still inactive / "for future use" on the last S/W-update for the BM1. Roger

I belive the launch time will be the same as the BeoSound 5 "light", aka A21, which could be as late as May. Roger

The BeoCom 5 is delayed because of several issues ("integration" and quality issues). These issues will take time to sort out (months?). The BeoVision 10 delivery is picking up speed this week and I belive dealers are asked to check their delivery times again. Especially the Danish market took B&O by surprise as the demand was far greater

I use the BDP-S550, and it is easier to navigate with the Beo5 since you have all the commands visible on the Beo5's display. But unless you see a need for the Beo5 in general, I wouldn't get the Beo5 just for the BDP-operation... You simply hit MENU on the Beo4 and have all the commands on-screen. Roger

The 7-40 and the 7-55 are available shortly in white. The alu parts will remain as they are, but the black cabinet will be white - same goes for the 7-2 and the 7-6: Front grill in alu, but the back will be white. The 7-4 will be available in white later on. See enclosed picture of the cabinet of the 7-55 in white. Roger

The wall bracket for the BL8k´s will be available from wk 53 (see enclosed picture) Roger

To re-apply the AR stuff is close to impossible, so you have the option of removing the screen or replacing it. Roger

No, simply because the gap isn't big enough - but there will be a new and improved top-of-the-line speaker with even better adaptive technology, but not anytime soon. Roger

The BeoLab 5 (as goes for any B&O product) will be replaced, but not anytime soon... Roger
