It was done primarily to integrate with widescreen TVs in a BeoLink system I think. When the Avant was in the range and producing widescreen images across a BeoLink system, the images appeared to be stretched vertically on 4:3 screens. It allows the MX4200 to accommodate for 'widescreen-only' video signals....

That won't be an issue at all - the BM6500 is actually rather good when it comes to tightness and speaker control. I was running a pair of B&W DM7s with mine for some time, and it tightened up the low end like no other amp I had at the time (even though it couldn't deliver the largest wattage).
