Help me with a TV Choice

I use mine with pentas as front and rear. I had the same problem. Took a while to find the right sound settnings, but after that it was all good.

But you say it is an odd angle.. Are you saying that the 7.4 is too narrow for the 7-55?

Great pick - I would have done the same, taken the 7-55 over the 12-65.

To me, the grey tint of the 12-65 (even when turned off) prevent it from achieving the same black levels as the 7-55. This would be the main thing I would check out with these two sets, to see what your eyes tell you with respect to picture quality.

For the 7-55, the low floor stand with the 7-6 turn it into a single uniform piece of art - simply a design classic and perhaps the best looking tv from Struer ever IMHO.

No, not really.  The 7.4 looks a bit fatter/wider as you see the depth of it in this picture but from front on you just see the speaker grill full in the face.  On the tall stand, I think it may look 'top heavy' with a BL7.6.  Fantastic on the lower stand though I expect.  When we watch the TV, we don't notice the speaker underneath anyway.  One of the reasons I considered the BL10 was to hide cables a bit more - I haven't tidied cables yet as I'm building a couple of units in Oak to go either side to house DVD's, cables etc.

Yup, hiding cables behind the 7.4 is a b***h.
My TV deal fell through so I need to find a 7-55 now
There are a few good deals on EBay, from some reasonable suppliers.

There are indeed a few on eBay from other resellers which are on there right now. Have a look at them.

I don't know of any official dealers that have any though. Possibly B&O Wilmslow if I remember, but that was a few weeks ago.

Personally, I've picked up three of them in the last 5 days, but haven't had chance to fully test and clean them (plus our software update guy isn't coming until next week) so they're not on the website, and won't be for at least 4-5 days.

The 7-55 is an amazing TV.  I have one myself at home and no matter how hard I try I can't find anything which comes close. It's a shame your deal fell through but I'm sure you'll get sorted!
