I would just tear out the entire cabinet where the TV is currently mounted. That would then make a decent background for a 70-80 inch tv with a pair of M80's to either side.
Now that's a great idea I hadn't considered. The cabinet is in a recess in the wall. Will it look ok to leave it blank? This would allow me to upgrade the TV in the future to an 80 inch OLED when they are available. Any ideas for a wide TV stand that can hold a 160 or 180?
Another option is to tear out just the top section of the cabinet and leave the bottom half and finish the top. That would give me a built in with room for a big TV and bookshelf speakers flanking it.
