[quote user="Larskoelle"] Would you spend that amount of time and "mental acivity" on a <1k€ Sony or whatever brand plastic TV. I would definitely not and in case something is wrong with it I would had it over to the trash. [/quote] Sadly that's the problem with our throwaway society. Back in the 70s and 80s we tended

[quote user="Kokomo"] Accept for this posting eh moxxey? [/quote] Hilarious. Should be a comedian :) We shouldn't be discussing anything as the "new Avant". That was my point. We should move on. The market was very different in the CRT age. As someone pointed out, it was very easy for B&O to stand out from the crowd both

[quote user="Razlaw"] I agree. It is a great show. [/quote] It's much more popular in the US than it is in the UK these days. From what I discuss with people over here and on various forums, the general consensus is that the show has long since lost it's edge. It's the same formulaic "oh we just managed to run our car in to

[quote user="Flappo"] I'd just like to see the real successor to the Avant that we've all been promised for so long. [/quote] I thought that was the BV10? I was told by my dealer that the BV10 is the new Avant - great picture, reasonable sound, good design. How many "new Avant's" do we need? And why does it need to be

Yep, he's also discussed how much of a fan he is of B&O, generally. Frankly, the big buffoon is a person who offers association B&O should not be seeking in the future. I don't know many <30-year-olds who hold Clarkson with much respect these days. Most Brits are starting to vew Top Gear as a group of highly paid aging buffoons who

[quote user="Roger"] We have all heard about the BeoLab that will sit between the 3 and 9, but their focus has been on TV's - but they may just release the entry level TV, the BS8 "light" and BS8 Link/PL this fall? [/quote] According to Tue's latest announcement, their new focus is going to be audio. That's their strength

[quote user="Beofan2"] Can we expect some new ALT speakers in near future? You seems to know something! [/quote] I think Peter was speculating based on the forthcoming new product category and planned new TV chassis to be announced in September. I don't think anyone, including Peter, Trip or dealers, know exactly what these new products

The Beocom 2 phone also allows some control over the Beosound 8. I guess that's no surprise as the phones mimic some of the basic Beo 4 functionality.

[quote user="Peter "] [It is however relatively pointless to look at price with B&O - the real question is 'is it worth it to me?' In the case of many products, the answer is yes! The BS8 is a case in point - a good iPod dock can be bought for £100 - I have one! It does not have the style or feel of a BS8 though. [/quote

[quote user="Kokomo"] I don't wish to promote or develop a "B&O are a rip-off" discussion, because I don't believe they are.....but I must admit I can see a case could be made for thinking I perhaps was! [/quote] Eh? :)
