| Need stand for LG TV and Sonus Sound-bar model help btw: The Klipsch are VERY efficient, more than likely a good bit more than your f/l and f/r speakers. Thus you need to adjust the volume output in your AVR like I had to. You mentioned a sound bar. Ideally you want a center with efficiency close... | |
| Need stand for LG TV and Sonus Sound-bar model help I made a 6" high riser, open front; 2 ends and back. Put 1/2" thick glass on the riser (local glass shop), TV on the glass.

| Recommendation for sub with high level inputs Video: only single sub to add Jurassic Park Dinosaur Stomp. Video and Music: two subs, hopefully located adjacent to the fl and fr.

I’m not selling collectibles, so I can keep it simple, and keep shipping costs down, nothing fancy: lp in it’s sleeve, in a box. watch your unit price, look out for excess ship... | |
