Center channel mounting on Mitsubishi 52725

Sean,

Very interesting reading. I was well aware of the issue of CC speaker weight possibly warping the cabinet of a microdisplay based RPTV, but never thought about CC speaker vibrations affecting the display.

If you haven't already done so, I would recommend you post this information at www.avsforum.com, in the rear projection tv forum, as well. This topic is discussed much more often at avs.

I ended up building a custom shelf system, attached the wall behind my Samsung DLP RPTV, to mount my CC speaker and keep the weight off of the TV itself. I may have unknowingly helped reduce vibration errors as well!

Thanks
Bruce

Sean,

When you say three guns inside the RPTV, are you talking about a CRT based set? Or are you including microdisplay technologies as well, such as the portion of an LCD based set's optical engine that has three light paths?

I can see where a bigger CC speaker with deeper bass would be more of an issue.

Thanks
Bruce

Sean,

Just as in Nac25's case with his Mits set, microdisplay based RPTVs in general have a particular problem in that the top shelf is very shallow. I had always thought that was done on purpose to keep people from putting anything other than a tiny CC speaker on it; i.e., keep the weight off.

I would be curious to know if CC speaker vibrations would affect any of the microdisplay technologies - DLP (which I own), LCD, or LCOS variants.

Thanks
Bruce
