Well played.
-- evoking the famous story of "Silent Cal" Coolidge.
Both his dry Yankee wit and his frugality with words became legendary. His wife, Grace Goodhue Coolidge, recounted that a young woman sitting next to Coolidge at a dinner party confided to him she had bet she could get at least three words of conversation from him. Without looking at her he quietly retorted, “You lose.”
Changed quite a lot since I started this thread 4 months ago. But here is the latest.
What size is your tv?
It’s a Sony XBR 75”
Perfect size.

Nice TV! That one or the Samsung 82" are on my radar to replace my SHARP 70" at some point. However, I don't feel a strong need as of yet. No rush for 4K.

The final state of my temporary “school” setup. Added the P6 with Ania MC cart and rega Fono MC with a timber nation walnut isolation stand on Herbie’s puckies. Speakers are Klipsch “The sixes” (powered). Sounds great! Synergy is off the chart

They are smooth. Based on things I heard about the Q100's, I thought they'd be tipped up or bright but, thankfully, they're very well balanced with gobs of detail. Tonal accuracy is quite good. I guess KEF worked hard on changing the reproduction between the previous model & the current model. I like them quite a bit!

He did. Only I haven’t paid him full yet so in essence it is kind of both of ours at the moment
Oh yeah that's right! I remember now. Congrats on the pick up, what a nice piece!

I was taught that a gentleman does not query another gentleman as to the size of his display.
Even if measured diagonally.
It’s a Sony XBR 75”
That might've been true in the 70's, however nowadays that's perfectly acceptable.
Perfect size.
That's what she said! badapboom!
