55" or 65" TV Screen Size and Your Speakers: Please Join Survey

Posted by cin5 (A) on November 15, 2024 at 09:30:55

With my two-way speaker build on hold as the clock ticks towards December 31st when my $1200.00 in Sony card points expire, I am struggling to decide between the 55" or 65" Sony A95L OLED TV. Sitting on chairs at Best Buy, I tape measured 11 ft from the 55", which looked small, while the 65" looked too big at the same distance.

My largely empty living room is 20 ft x 11, with the west side open, crossing a 4 ft wide x 27 ft hallway and into a ~ 10 ft x 9 kitchen and then 3 ft wide staircase. A triangular ceiling that peaks at 11 ft is above it all.

I plan to listen 10 ft from my speakers, with the TV between them and a foot or so behind the horns.

I built the 65" (56.9" w x 33" h) cardboard mock and to my eyes at 12 ft the 65" "screen" looks immersive.

I will build the 55" (48.25" x 27.5") mock as soon as I can get more cardboard from the local supermarket.

Meanwhile, it might be very helpful to learn of the experiences of other 55" and 65" TV users.

How far are you from one of those screen sizes?

Do you sit on a chair or recliner?

Please describe the speakers that you use in place of the TV's internal speakers, and how far you sit from them.
