I agree with Slappy. I have seen such set up at two high-end audio stores. The center ML was on a small speaker stand, which sits on the floor. The speaker was pointed slightly up toward the viewer. Below my plasma (hang on the wall) is my center speaker, which rests on the top rack of my 36-inch-high audio stand, which is at the level of my listening ears.
Plasma TVs and center channel speakers
I have been toying with the idea of getting a 42 inch plasma for my dedicated HT room. It will sit directly in front of a window on an outside wall based on the best layout for the speakers in the room so hanging on the wall is not really an option.
I have a Martin Logan Cinema center channel speaker which fits nicely on the 32 inch CRT TV that is in the room now, but it won't even come close to balancing on a plasma. Because of the window, I can't mount it on the wall either...
All the HT components sit in a 27 inch high 62 inch wide six compartment custom piece of cabinetry, so a fully new rack designed for plasma is out of the question.
Anybody out there have any ideas on how to keep the center channel speaker above a plasma. Somebody must make a stand for placement behind the TV that will hold the center channel speaker above it, but I can't find any such thing.
Have even toyed with suspending the speaker on steel cables from the ceiling, but don't really want to go to that much trouble, and have 20 - 30 pounds dangling above a $5k TV...
Thanks
Mitch
