85” TV

[JP_]

Had to send my TV for repair, might as well watch TV on my phone now!
Have a cheap 55 inch LG (sound issues, again), trying to convince the boss that a 65 inch screen would be much nicer. I'm losing so far.

I presume the one in for repair is the 55" as the one in the picture certainly doesn't look it.

Maybe I have a very big table and speakers?
But yes that was my point, my TV is in for repairs.

I want to get a nice cabinet but have been unable to find anything designed to hold a centre speaker and some amps - either middle shelves or centre shelves are always too small.

I normally just take the back off and let the amps ar*se hang out. I was going to make a nice glass one with a lump of English oak and some 12mm glass

Your speakers appear to be smaller than refrigerators.

You must be younger than I thought.

It's not the size John, it's how hard they punch!

For those interested, they're Rega Juras, bought in 1999, and still going strong.

Goes for any neighbours too.

Yeah! One reason I could never live in a non-detached house again - I don't do headphones!

Eh?

What's that?

Roksan amp or something else? Rega speakers, Pro-Ject/Rega/Revolver turntable??? Can't fault you for that.

Get rid of the glass table. Glass has an odd way of affecting the sound in the room. Go for acrylic if you want something see through. Much better for TT support and for Hi-Fi and room acoustics in general.

I had Rega Alya speakers for a while and loved them to pieces. Great company and great products.

Yep! Roksan Kandy, Project Debut (2?) turntable.
Had Roksan cd player too, but that stopped working.
Cheap Marantz av, but stereo goes through the Roksan.
