[quote user="moxxey"] [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] $20,000

Without Blu-Ray would it then be $16,200? What is the price of the tall stand? We are interested in the 7-55, already have a 7-4 we would use and do not want the built in Blu-Ray. So price would be $11,000 + stand?

[quote user="moxxey"] [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

thanks!

I think it looks wonderful. I think other manufacturers are doing similar things. When will it actually be available?

Any idea of the price here without the built in Blue-Ray?

Thanks! And my apologies....I see I accidentally posted this in Beosound 5 instead of Beo 5 forum. Maybe moderators can move?

Sorry for this very basic question. When used with third party products, such as a Blu-Ray player, does the Beo 5 control the product directly? Or through an ir emitter from the TV, or are both ways possible? Thanks!
