Hey guys!!! Does anyone know if they are coming up with a new upgraded BV7 anytime soon since the new technology now is network link? Just the way they've upgraded the BV10 into BV11?
They might replace the model with a difference alternative later this year...

What about the beosound 5?
Razlaw asked this question the other day.
It's certainly a dilemma. If you consider the new chassis of the BV11, this has fewer professional features most BV7 users expect - the ability to handle a projector, masterlink and other functions. If I was a current BV7 owner, losing these features, wouldn't be regarded as an 'upgrade' for me, if I was just getting an updated panel. And, being fair, the panel in the BV7-55 MKII is better than the BV11 as it has more uniform backlighting.
Ok, you get the additional sound/audio management, but do you really need this with a BL7.2? I don't even use the functionality on my BV11. The apps haven't been updated since the original launch and I find it's far easier to use (apps on) the Apple TV.
Therefore I think they need to take a different angle with an upgraded BV7. I wouldn't want to upgrade my BV7 for a year or so, wait and see what happens with the new panels - you can now pre-order a LG 55" OLED TV for £10K, for example.
an LG for 10K??????????
It'd be like buying a $500,000 Hyundai!!!

I think the keyword there is OLED. Do you know how incredibly expensive they are to produce? If a 55" OLED screen was on a B&O, it would be a lot more expensive than £10K!
