[quote user="TripEnglish"] Puncher is dead on as to the convergence of, well, everything! That's one of the reasons I'm heartened by our direction right now. B&O has set out a road map that not only brings the home together, but essentially makes the B&O experience omnipresent for our users. There's not a lot to say on

[quote user="TripEnglish"] Lee, While sales aren't soaring, they have been steadily improving. Most of the shops that focus on custom install are doing well in my market. It's the stores that have not evolved away from a retail model that are shutting their doors or preparing to. Hoping to sell a walk-in customer on a BeoVision 10

While I should know better I'm going to re-post my original entry - It also has to be said that the Samsung is incredibly well featured, is actually very good looking (and some would say make the BV7-55 look large, clumsy & dated) and has one or two quite innovative features. It also comes with speakers (admittedly not very good). A quote from

[quote user="TripEnglish"] This thread has really got me thinking. Maybe B&O is not so good! Maybe I've been lying to myself all these years. Maybe the other high-end brands that use their amplifiers like Meridian and B&W are also stupid! Maybe the brands that copy their design are dumb as well! Maybe the hundreds of thousands

[quote user="Razlaw"] Just checked the price at one of our major stores here in the USA. The latest 55 inch 240 HZ Samsung has a suggested price of $5999 compared to a BV7-55 at something like $12,000 without the BluRay.

[quote user="Alex"] I'm pretty certain the 32 refers to a 32 KHz sample rate capability - I can't see what benefit 32bit float audio would be purely for playback of PCM audio.
