Plasma Display with a new center-speaker

Thanks ! THe BV12 looks something between a Grundig with the Tube beneath and a touch Panasonic, somehow.

I realise that I am expressing a personal opinion here and it's all down to personal taste, but why would anyone want to view such a beautiful TV setup and at the same time have to stare at shelving below loaded with books and papers on top of which are scattered various pieces of 'objet d'art'? A TV is not a framed painting looked at in passing, it's something which has to be sat in front of and watched for extended periods of time. Why include such distractions?

If you want books, art pieces etc, then display them on another wall.    

 

 

 

 

 

The more serious question  (according to my wife) is what do men wear under their kilt?

Finaly a proper pic! Well I linked to this pic weeks ago

Have a look here http://www.hifi4all.dk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=46053&PN=1&TPN=172

The pic of the speaker reveals a detailed look. I think it looks great and not ordinary at all. Information is in danish but genuine.

Lots of shiny aluminium, nice...

Well, in my opinion, the TV looks dull... The speaker looks like an exact copy of a LG flat panel speaker my friend had circa 2006, and yes, Grundig comes to mind. 

I'm sure it's performance over looks, but I can't *see* much of "B&O" in this TV. Maybe I'll revise my option after seeing it in the shop. As for the speakers, I'm undecided: are they too wide, too "all aluminium", or do they look stunning when seen in the flesh, and not in a photo.

@Kokomo as per the picture "what moves you"...if its what's under a kilt or a plain wall to hang your super thin 5.8cm plasma so be it? lol, I can't wait to see the real thing!

Sorry guys but... I LOVE IT!

And I love to see the book shelves with the books. Im passionate about books although I must admit recently to be spending my reading time online which I never thought would happen :)

 

Yeah I have to agree with Mr Winn on this one.

I also love the way it's in the rooom and part of it, with shelves and books etc. I'm not a fab of a TV on a wall being the focus, the books and shelves help the overall look n comfort of the room when any tv is turned off.

The pic isn´t the best to show the details in David Lewis design. Have a closer look at some of the details like the curved alu speaker and the alu frame behind the big class front or even the perforated speaker made by 5000 elleptical shaped holes and you will see beauty lies in the detail.

I would like to see it in the flesh,  I dont like the look of it from the pics.

The screen is extremely thin. Builds only 50 mm from the wall at the top.

At the bottom it´s 60 mm due to the speaker grill.

the perforated speaker made by 5000 elleptical shaped holes

WOW!!! That's impressive... Now I must admit I want to know the use of such a thing... Or is it just :

B&O sound engineer : "the sound will be perfect with this stuff and 500 holes in it"

B&O designer : "looks like something already done by Grundig"

B&O production guy  : "I've seen a one-of-a-kind tool that costs $100M and that can drill elliptical holes, that would make a difference"

B&O sound engineer "elliptical holes would have no effect on sound quality, for me it's OK"

B&O designer : "That seem to be the kind of details that differentiate B&O from the crowd... When looking at the product with a microscope! Let's drill 5000 of them!"

Tue : "Hi, I'm your New CEO, what are you doing there? [...] GULP!"

mbee: That was funny :)

I think that the BV12-65 is really good looking screen but it might take some time to get used to BeoLab 12 design.

There are rumors about smaller BeoLab 12-2, does anyone have a picture of them?

akoro:

mbee: That was funny :)

very funny LOL

£16,000!!! Gulp

The price will be in the region of the 7-55 (with speaker and floor stand). The 12-65 may be very thin, but you will need the book shelf to hide the BS3

Roger

As the saying goes..

If you have to ask the price...you can't afford it.

 

Tim

The price that is in the region of the 7-55, does that include the Beosystem 3 or just the screen?

Roger:

you will need the book shelf to hide the BS3

we need a slim line BS4 or one with shiny covers as an option !

I wish B&O would apply the multi-cover and/or multi-colour options to more of their product lines

I heard there is a new Beosystem 4 in development.  It has 10,000 elliptical holes in the aluminum case for ventilation so the thickness is reduced to less than 50 mm.  It will also have a sub woofer built in to minimize clutter.  You will be able photograph a color sample and send it wirelessly to the intelligent aluminum cover.  The system will then create a chameleon skin for itself to match.  All connections to the Beovision 12 and Beolab 12 speakers will be by Bluetooth 4.0

Is there a Rumors page for Bang & Olufsen products?
