Many thanks; your responses are greatly appreciated. I'll take Erik's advise and get the tv in first and then tweak in accordance with your suggestions. The first issue I will need to address is whether to use a small stand, wall mount or shelf for the tv. Any thoughts re that issue and specific recommendations would be appreciated. I googled and couldn't find a commercial tv wall shelf so that probably will have to be custom made.
soundstage question
My speakers (eminent technology lft 8bs) are @ 4 feet from the back wall and I have an old crt rear projection tv between them. I am replacing it with a new oled tv (primarily to remove the old big box tv and improve the sound of my system) and can position that close to the back wall. Any recommendations for placing that would be welcome. My assumption is a wall mount would be best, but have any members used a wall shelf for a tv (base of tv is 24 inches) or a stand that would least compromise the soundstaging? many thanks.
