Thanks for the kind comments on my setup guys! The room itself isn't finished yet, only using a make shift sofa at the minute, but it should be good when its finished. For anyone interested the furniture is by Huelsta and is from the "Lilac" range.
Dave: really do like the design of the BV8. The thing is, i can't get my head around the BV8's lack of magic. It doesn't have the electronic curtains and it doesn't have motorised options, and besides the picture quality, those attributes are vital to a B&O television!! It's a ritual for me to come home from work and turn on the TV, always to see it turn to me and open like a cinema, don't you, as BV8 owners miss this??
Dave, I too would have loved the electronic curtains and motorized stand options on my TV, but as you can maybe see, a 40" is probably just too big for the setup! A BV7-32 doesnt have the connections at the minute that I would like, plus it is almost twice as dear :( However, I love the design of the BV8, its minimalist and blends into the environment it is in perfectly. The sound from the speakers belies the size of the cabinet, and picture performance is satisfactory for casual SD viewing and HD viewing.
@ Simon, The living area is about 4.5m square, but there is a kitchen area off the living room, so its about 7 or 8m long!
Cheers,
Robert.
