Definitely all the modern speakers. If you can find discounted BL3, BL9 or BL5's, like I have, they'll still have a high trade-in value or second-hand value at a later date. Although the BV7 keeps a resale value, if a new model is released, the resale value for the older (ie. pre-HDMI) model will drop sharply. I guess they key is to sell or

gilbera: Hi i have just had intalled a beovision 9 and a new Sky HD box and they are connected by HDMI and then Coax for the audio as HDMI does not give 5.1 I'm no HDMI expert, but I thought HDMI supports every 'modern' audio format. Certainly 5.1! If you decide to send your audio via an alternative output, you may find you have lip sync

355f: its true the kuro does not have a cheap dvd player inbuilt - must get one for $100. That's expensive. You can get one for far less than that. Razlaw - if you need those BS3 'features', fantastic. Most people do not and simply want to watch TV. Hence why they prefer a non-B&O system.

avus17: Does somebody know what are most salable B&O products at the moment? Which BeoSound, which BeoVision and which BeoLab? Explain what you mean. What's 'salable'?

Razlaw: As for price, subtract the price of a Beosystem 3 from the price of a BV7, then subtract the price of a high quality DVD player I don't go along with that argument. The Beosystem 3 is way overpriced. You can't really just say 'take off the price..' and then it becomes a 'bargain'. What does the Beosystem 3 do that, say

Dave: I strongly dislike the BV7 in the B&o range. I think technologically & price wise, it's a bit of an embarrassing product. Perhaps, but it's also the current best-selling B&O TV and was a key reason that helped B&O ride the earlier downturn. If it wasn't for the BV7, I've been told that B&O would have been struggling

Dave: The BV9 is going to look much better in the long run (aesthetically, and as an all in one package) I have a thing against wires showing too, they really bother me Don't link up your TVs then. I didn't realise this, but when B&O connected my BV7-40 to the BV8-26, you have to have a 'link box' and various aerial cables. Result

Oh 355f, we are going to disagree, once again :) Although the BV9 is superb, myself and others agree that the reds in any plasma image are too deep for the picture and a good quality LCD (think BV7-40) will show them more naturally. I agree that some HD pictures can be a little 'pixel perfect' on the BV7-40 and can look more smoothed on the

misled: i have order one too. I'm confused. How can you order something you've not even seen? Also, I thought it was available to the public in April 2009? Half a year away.

No idea. I don't think the Sky box (which causes my problem) is a 1.3 device? I'm getting a little fed up with the time taken to fix this issue. It's been ongoing since July. My TV seems to crash-off at inopportune moments, such as a good scene in a movie or watching football.
