[quote user="vikinger"] Are B&O helping themselves? There has been one price rise this year (UK) and maybe more exchange rate changes to come. There's a good chance that in the UK the VAT rate, due to return to 17.5% from 15%, will actually go to 20% [/quote] Although it's unlikely to rise again any time soon (although 18% has

[quote user="dilznik"] Quitting my job, moving to Australia, traveling 30,000km in a Land Cruiser through the land... that has changed my spending habits. Ramen anyone? [/quote] Just out of interest, how did you get in Australia? I've looked at moving and, even with my IT qualifications, would struggle to be accepted. Unless you have a

[quote user="Dave"] Guys the BV7-32 was B&O's replacement for the avant > the only problem was that they were ignorant at the time that it's now a neccesity for people to have bigger screens (bigger is better it seems, but IMHO anything bigger in a normal sized living room, leaves the screen as the focal point of the room and

[quote user="Dixon Langeman"] The tall stand is $1,500 and would work with your current BeoLab 7-4. The non-bluray BV7-55 is $11,000 so you'd be at $12,500 all in. [/quote] Eh? $11,000? Am I reading that right? Isn't anyone else in Europe angry that we're paying well over $20,000?

[quote user="Dixon Langeman"] Razlaw is correct with his price estimate. In the States, the BV7-55 is much less expensive than the BV9. The 9 is $21,900 vs $18,000 for a BV7-55 with BluRay, BeoLab 7-6, low floor stand, and Beo 5. Personally I think the price difference comes from.. [/quote] Yeah, but this is massively cheaper than the BV7

[quote user="j0hnbarker"] Just been down to my local dealer to try and get a replacement BS2 battery and can't believe how much B&O want for a replacement. Bearing in mind the BS2 is still in production, how can £67 for a rechargeable battery (that doesn't include fitting) be justified??? [/quote] Mind you, Sky charge £65

[quote user="The_Beonic_Man"] B&O don't offer justified prices. The problem is people pay it, ourselves included, so they charge it. My friends think I am quite mad spending £10,000 on a TV. How right they are! Pay the money John and enjoy it, that's my philosophy. [/quote] You'll be certified when you get the BV7-55

[quote user="Razlaw"] If my math and figures are correct, in the US the BV7-55 is much better deal than the BV9. Price for a BV9 is $21,900, compared to $11000 for the BV7-55 without Blue-Ray. Add in a center channel speaker for around $4,000 plus a motorized stand which I am guessing around $1500 and the BV7-55 is $16,500 [/quote] Wow, that

If I was planning to spend a staggering £15,000 on a TV (gawd knows how much it is in USD), I'd certainly go for the BV9 over and above the BV7-55. The picture isn't going to be any better than the BV7-40 and, indeed, could be worse (SD upscaled), has the same picture engine, same sound, same everything - just a 15" bigger screen
