This TV looks so much like an Avant i am wondering how Grundig were allowed to produce and profit from this TV!

Never seen that one before!

Maybe David Lewis has a twin brother he doesn't know about that designed it from scratch..  Or, perish the thought - Grundig shamelessly copied it!

If they did copy it though, what kind of job satisfaction did the guy that 'designed' this get?  I'd feel such a fraud if it was me.  Nothing more soulless than ripping someone elses ideas off..

It may look like an Avant, but you would soon notice the difference when you turned it on.

I'm not sure of the details of what happened, but somebody who's been in the AV business for a very long time told me that was in fact the TV which killed Grundig.

What's worse is Grundig took the credit and received plenty of praise for it's "different" design. 

Even by looking at the picture, you can see that it was a pretty cheap and nasty design using cheap plastics.

I remember that when i first showed my partner a picture of the Avant, he said, "what's a Grundig tv doing with all that B&O gear?" lol The picture quality of his aunties Xentia is actually very good for the price however and Grundig used to be a very highly regarded electronics brand.

Beosound 9000 + Avant + Beosound 6

the only problem I see in this post is that the "BS9000" and the "Avant" are B&O originals and these products are copies, but for the "BS6", it is B&O who are copying as of what I have heard so far.
