JefDC Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Hello, In my new setting I can't install my center below the TV only above. Are there others who have done that and is that a satisfactory solution sound wise ? ? Best regards ... jef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Traveler Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Our center is above the TV and angled down towards the MLP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JefDC Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 And the sound integrates well with picture or do you notice that it comes from 'above' ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Why can't you use center beneath tv? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JefDC Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 Because the cabinet doesn't allow it - at least not centered in the middle of the TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitrofan Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I have tried it both ways and actually prefer it above angled down. If you think about it, peoples heads are closer to the top of the screen than the bottom so this just seems more natural to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head's are usually near the top of the screen and angling down works well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Traveler Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Fwiw, having our RC-7 on top also puts the tweeters inline with the RF-7s up front. {Note: It was designed in the day when folks put their centers on top of an RPTV, so it has risers in the back.} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Used a J mount for heavy plasma on top of cabinet to create space under tv. They work very well and are inexpensive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CopperCone Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Under TV at ear level when sitting I’ve found best after trying above tv. I have another room with the center on top and angled down - it doesn’t have that same impact as the room I have one centered across from the couch seating position - especially tank fire from the movie “Fury” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JefDC Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 Thanks for the replies. Here is a mock up of the situation: As you can see I cannot move the TV higher and the space below is too small for Center speakers except the really really small ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Looks like tv can go higher but, tv would be blocking what, an alcove/shelf? Cannot really see what is holding tv up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JefDC Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 The TV stands on the cabinet below, above the white cabinet and shelf blocks upward movement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
