Center speaker placement?
Mounting a center channel speaker on top of TV is a bad idea. Look for a entertainment stand with center channel shelf. Check out Salamander Designs. I have two stands from their Synergy collection, very high WAF 😊 https://www.salamanderdesigns.com/av-cabinets/elba-236/ |
Yes I am thinking I am pretty much resigned to a new stand so center can still sit under the new bigger tv, its a never ending battle... lol. Grey9hound, yes I could hang it on the wall but then would STILL need a new equipment stand as present one has the big central mount that sticks up for the tv so that would have to go. Don't fancy taking a Sawzall to it! |
Mounting the center above the TV could probably work with adjusting the delay, but I’d think optimally you’d need to angle it downward so the tweeter fires more toward your ears. Aesthetically (or sonically) that may not be the most elegant solution, so considering those issues a new cabinet may be worth the expense. Plus you obviously won’t have to deal with mounting the speaker, and the center may be more inline with the L/R speakers, which is also a good thing IME. |
Tv is right now at its highest position on the tv stand and the center speaker has about half inch clearance so a 75” tv will reduce that to a negative figure. No options there but to buy a different entertainment stand that would allow the tv to mount high enough for the center speaker to still sit under it. Which might be the better option from what I am reading on above tv speaker placement. A stand for the center speaker in front of the entertainment stand would work but most assuredly would not pass the wife approval factor unfortunately. |
