RE: Analysis Paralysis

Posted by cin5 on October 11, 2024 at 11:58:23:
Well, it's also that one of my amplifiers-either for the center or L/R speakers-will likely be Class A biased, so the combined power draw could be large. Also someone at this post said that a 65" TV will radiate 100 degrees of thermal energy; more of course for a 75". That plus what my Class A amp will radiate may not be great for my energy bill. So I hope Rtings.com is right about the 65" A95L's average power draw.

The good news is that last night I propped up a piece of cardboard that's 48.25" wide; the exact width of the 55" A95L. And it's 32" high; the exact height of the 65" TV, minus the detachable camera. I placed it 11 ft away and it did not look at all small to me. The 65" model is exactly 10" wider, so at 12.5 to 13 ft I doubt I would need a 75" TV.

Btw, though you stream movies rather than use physical media, since you don't use a center speaker, does the dialogue vs. the music levels ever sound unbalanced or lacking clarity?
