unfortunately you can't compare the top of the range sony with a bno as the top of the range sony has more advanced features like led rgb backlighting and built in wi fi the x series top of the range new 46" is c £3k in the uk , that's about the same as a bv8 nuff said

i'd rather have jj's 70's and early 80's classics than the stuff they produce nowadays they had 'class'

i think they should go back to crt , at least they could justify their prices then

for the same price as a bv7/40 i can get a sony 52" system and a pioneer 50" kuro and yamahe and denon av systems in two rooms and still have change for a dozen blu rays bno's pricing is just daft nowadays the avant was based in reality , these days bno seem to be in cloud cuckoo land i wouldn't mind if their gear was up to spec ,

yes , now who's up for a game of call of duty 4 ? :)

we really need some kind of reputation button to tell posters how grate their posts are without filling up the forum with pointless vacuous replies like this one :)

buy a sony , then :)

" Bang & Olufsen must be best wherever we are, whatever we make… If we’re not we won’t be there If were not, we wont be there. NO MORE new co-branding products NO MORE new mobile phones NO MORE new mobile phones NO MORE new mp3-players NO MORE stand alone DVD-players " Hallelujah !!!

did you know , michelangelo and leonardo were BOTH left handed !?

i agree with peter's sentiments , bno should be aboot the best av hardware , leave the software to the big boys and just write bno plug ins for stuff like itunes etc from what i've seen so far , bno software leaves a lot to be desired , while their best hardware , beolab 5 , beovision 7 & 9 still look , feel and work brilliantly the day
