Made a bit of an upgrade! Penta III fronts with newly recovered black frets. Bonus reflection of my wall mounted silver 4000s in the rear. Looks like I need a bigger TV now! The Pentas make it look small...

Just rearranged my listening space for my vinyl rig, the seating area is now in front of the stereo as it should be and not to the side.

I will now officially never get anything done again. I'll just be listening to music! So much better this way.

Thanks! It is a Sony XBR HX-909. Wonderful TV, although a bit overpriced. I think it's in B&O territory in terms of price... I got an amazing discount on it since I used to work for Best Buy. It is truly one of the best looking TVs ever made in my opinion. The whole front is one giant sheet of glass with no visible frame, so it appears to be just a sheet of smoked glass sitting on a block of brushed aluminum when its off. 

Also Evan, please do! I've been dying to show this off to someone who knows what it is! And yes, that loctite is from my failed first attempt at recovering the frets.

They are at a friends house for now (I'm trying to convince him to get into Bang and Olufsen). After that, I plan on using them as fronts again while I restore my pentas (refoam, and recap). Who knows what I will do with them then...

You can always drop them off at your friendly local Bang & Olufsen storage center / museum 😂
