Masterpiece: Many architects also have an affinity with TV's above fireplaces.
In our new build we added dedicated room, which could double as a formal lounge...not.
architects and the home decorating/designer folks are deaf, dumb and blind when it comes to av equipment.

Bah, 55" isn't tiny, just small. My 32" seemed huge when I got it but now it feels tiny in comparison to my 105" home theatre...
I remember spending $3.5k on my 29" CRT Panasonic in the late 80's - it was HUGE, the first movie I watched was Lost Boys, it was just like being in the cinema!
Then Philips bought out a 32" 16:9 CRT, even better than my Panny, I so wanted one. It was HUGE!
My Panasonic TH 42PV500 at a mere $5.7k replaced my 29" CRT. When it was pulled out of the box, I could't comprehend how big it was. I watched the first entire season of Sopranos on the first night. It was just like being at the cinema!
Shortly after, I auditioned a 50" NEC plamsa, my ultimate dream - but at a mere $12k (reduced in price from $17k) it was just too rich in price, so I could only dream.
And yesterday I took possession of my new Sony 55".
And it's tiny!
How times change.
I remember my Sony $3500 34" Gorgeous. But for you, the percentage difference in real estate from a 55 to 65 is huge.

A guy I worked with had no Mrs... but a 40" Mitsubishi CRT....
I was blown away, especially after paying $1000 for my Samsung(IIRC?) 29" and my Yamaha amp, and a DVD player that cost me $800 (in Oz in the late 90's)
