Hi,
Does anybody of You have any news about the Avant in 85 inches and 75 inches?
What kind of screen-type will it be: Edge-led or full-array led?
Will the speaker be larger than the speaker in the Avant 55?
Prices?
I have heard from one dealer that the price in Swedish krona will be about 100.000 SEK for the 85-inch.
But from another dealer he says the price for the 85-inch will be about 250.000 SEK. Does anybody know anything about this?
When will these two models be released? Some one told august and september!?

Martin: When will these two models be released? Some one told august and september!?
No-one really knows. Roger implied this the other day. They are still scheduled for August/September, but my dealer thinks they will be later this year, partly due to the (minor) stand and related issues that the 55" Avant struggled with, at launch. Can't be easy inserting an even heavier 75" on the same problematic stand as the 55", which was the original plan!
Again, price is still based on dealer speculation, but if you consider the Samsung 85" is in retail at over £25K - and B&O has to buy the panel from Samsung - economies of scale would dictate it's unlikely to be 100,000 SEK :)
I've been told £13-15,000 (150,000 - 175,000 SEK) for the 75", which would be more realistic. But, again, it's just dealer speculation.

No-one knows the price! It's dealer speculation at the moment, with dealers speculating different prices!

Ah, you know... A little B&O here, a little there
BeoMegaMan: Wrong. The price is announced on the 85. @medlo has the right price in mind.

Where has it been 'announced'? I have my dealer here right now - with the installer, installing my Avant - and he says neither the 85" price or availability is completely certain.
He says it's expected to be £20,000 (for the panel) in the UK, but that's still only a guideline.
Damned good price though, if it is! Get rid of my new 55" stick an 85" on the wall? :)

Razlaw, I wouldn't give you your BV7-55 for an Avant, yet, larger screen or not. The picture quality will definitely be a (slight) downgrade on the 7-55.
I really like my Avant, but don't love it. Luckily for me it's a slight upgrade on the BV11, but it will definitely be a downgrade from the 7-55, based on what I've seen with the 7-55.
If I was seeking a larger wall-mounted B&O, I'd try and find a BV12-65.

Impressive price points. I believe the Samsung 85S9 is still 40k on Amazon, but the 85HU8550 is 9997.
Given B&O's previously silly prices for big displays, those are VERY aggressive price points.
I ordered two 85" yesterday - retail including motor floor stand and Beoremote one is £19,500 - delivery scheduled for 16th September.
Delivery for 75" is scheduled for December, no absolute confirmed price yet...
At approx AUD 40k for a 85inch it's quite a reasonable price for a B&O TV. Pity I have to renovate my bathroom - wife actually gave approval for a 85 B&O tv at that price. Might be able to squeeze in the 75inch if the price is right?!!
Compare to the Samsung 85 inch I definitely know which one I wouldn't get
$33,000 for a new 85 inch Avant, that's AUD. So much the same price as the 7-55 was at. It's a remarkable price for a massive TV.
Any news on the 75? Release date? Anyone?
Best Regards

Looks like availability will be February - £14k on motorised floor stand....
That is exactly what I was told by an Austrian dealer recently (both price and date).

SHEFFIELD:Looks like availability will be February - £14k on motorised floor stand....
Around 12.500 EUR without stand for 75", availability late Jan/early Feb.
I asked explicitely about 65 incher too, the reponse was that to their knowledge 65" is not in the lineup.
thanks for all your opinions and information; a pity - too late for hiding under the christmas tree
