[quote user="timhanna"] Thats like 4x iMacs!!! Sorry to vent some frustration here, but it feels like we are just being bullied into buying things... [/quote] People are still buying and that's one reason why they can put up the prices. The other day, I was in Bath B&O store and someone walked in, looked at the BV7-55 for a few minutes

Seriously tempted to trade-in my December 2009 BV7-40 MKIV: http://www.sony.co.uk/hub/tradein?cid=15014292 This is a decent Sony TV. Good design. I wonder what Sony will say when I try and trade-in the BV7-40? :)

[quote user="timhanna"] Set to happen by the end of this month... so I'm told... [/quote] Yep. And if VAT goes up to 20%, expect another one after the June price-rise, too !

[quote user="koning"] If you use the beoline2 then everything is 'fine'. [/quote] I don't :( Is the beoline2 compatible with my old MKI BeoCom 2's?

[quote user="Razlaw"] We replaced our BV7 40 inch with a 55 without the BluRay player last week. The picture is amazing and much better than on the old 40 inch. [/quote] I agree. However, it's worth noting that an updated BV7-40 MKV, with the same screen tech as the 55, is due in June/July.

[quote user="gumboots"] What's about ? [/quote] I think TripEnglish didn't understand you. He's foreign, you know. Don't worry about it. We understand you :)

I was told by a London-based dealer this week that all BeoCom 5 sw problems are now fixed? He said he's been using it for a week or two within a single issue. Is this correct? New sw release, perhaps? I was going to pull the trigger on a couple of BeoCom 5's for the office the other day, but didn't bother due to the advice on here!

[quote user="jjcox"] But... does it look like Sonny Crockett's vision of a Dutch tulip? NO WAY! So, no competition . [/quote] I don't get impressed easily, but I was impressed with the design of the BL11, when I saw it at my dealer the other day. Looks great in white. Much smaller than I expected though. Good to hear it enhances the

All the things we know. B&O don't go announcing secret stuff to dealers, knowing that customers might see the info. ie. iPod dock due soon, BeoSound 5 software update, BV7-40 MKV etc.

[quote user="Raeuber"]Does anybody knows if a BV 7-46 is in pipeline?? Regards Räuber [/quote] Nope :( I saw the list of products due for release in the next few months (by mistake, I must add...) and there's no BV7-46. I asked my dealer and he said there's no planned BV7-46. So, it's BV7-40 MKV or BV10-46.
