I took my BV9 in red/black. Never regretted it! It works well with my Pentas, and I have just added Red/black Beolab 6000s as surrounds. I should mention that my sectional sofa is black with red leather accents! Barry

Gee, any B&O video product could be considered an "end of life" product the day you buy it. For instance, I purchased a BV9 last March 08, and now the latest one has the auto color management, but I cannot upgrade mine. Just accept it as "so it goes".... Barry
