[farawaydave]

Been down to richer sounds and auditioned the samsung and i was very impressed and now the price is under £1900 seems an absolute steal but can i do better for the money.have already seen the panasonic dt65 and was also impressed but i think the samsung edges it.Any ideas.Oh! and large living room and no direct sunlight

This Samsung is the same but different design (I think):

Get John Lewis to price match.

Yes the 8000 and 8500 are virtually identical in all but stand but the stand on the 8000 would be a problem as i would need a new stand for the lounge and her that shall be obeyed wont go that far(she picked the one i have now,a nice walnut job by the way)but I was looking to see any alternatives,
