willland Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Been considering this change for a while but just have not done it yet. I had the RC-64 on a shelf above the TV but always wondered what it would sound(and look) like with it below the TV. From my limited experimentation: 1) Movies better when sitting in family room 2) Multichannel music great in seated position, not as good when standing or in kitchen but still very good. 3) TV shows better when in seated position, not as good while in kitchen(blocked by recliner) TV is tilted slightly forward(RC-64 rear leg) so no off axis viewing. Overall I am happy with my decision and I like the more aggressive look while still being aesthetically pleasing. Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) Looks great! I've always had my center under the TV on a rack (with the RC-7 tilted up on the front). Edited April 26, 2015 by Nismo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about tilting the RC-64 up a bit but the TV would also be tilted up and not be on the proper horizontal axis while seated. More aggressive? Lol You like that? I had to come up with some valid description because it was a pain in the butt to make the change. Not putting it back anytime soon.

Scrappydue Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 How about a nice articulating wall mount? I think my tv can pull 20" out from the wall then swivel all over the place. And my plasma is crazy heavy. 100 lbs I think. And I payed 50-60$ for the mount. Love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love itI thought about that but I would need a minimum of 24 inches to reach to the edge of the niche.Bill Edited April 25, 2015 by willland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajoker2c Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) Here Bill, this is the one I use, it had no problem reaching out as far as my rc64. We have the same TV. Sturdy as hell when fully extended the 26.5 inches it states and has been going strong for a few years now. Edit, I was curious and just measured it. From the wall the front of TV is exactly 29 inches out fully extended and it's sturdy.http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=109&cp_id=10828&cs_id=1082821&p_id=8586&seq=1&format=2 Edited April 25, 2015 by ajoker2c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I think it looks better, I'm sure it sounds better now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
substance-p Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I think it looks good under the TV. That's how I built my 64 into my current system (but had to angle it due to the TV being low) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it ever get a little boomy? By the way, nice looking theater. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I never got to thoroughly put the system through its paces-so it could well be that under other listening circumstances it'd be more noticeable. I finished the build in February and we have already moved (I maybe watched four movies with that setup). One thing I did notice was the difference in the 64 with it angled upward at the listening position (in my old setup it wasn't as low but was facing flat-so lower than ear level). I really liked the sound with it located low but angled upward. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
