croaker32 Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 I saw that the weight is 44 lbs on the ref 7 center. Is that too heavy for a rear projection tv to support? I was worried it might cause convergence on the set? If I need a shelf, any ideas on how to build one out of the wall that far? Thanks.

MrMcGoo Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Mike, It depends on the TV that you have. I have an RC-7 on top of a Pioneer big screen without any problems. Pioneer uses a lot of wood so that a piano finish can be added. Other brands may not do as well. They tend to use plastic without adequate support. If in doubt, build a shelf for the RC-7, but be sure that it is well anchored. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
space_cowboy Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 Some have suggested getting a piece of glass cut to cover the top of the set distributing the load and helping prevent any sag. No problem protecting the set top with little rubber bumper things. I personally dislike the looks of a big honkin' center sitting on the teevee, and only set mine up when watching DVD. In one of these Klipsch rooms (can't remember which), someone built a REALLY nice looking floor stand for his C7, which btw is heavy as heck also.

ssh Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 Your TV can handle the weight. If you want to put it on the wall, look at an Omnimount. I have an RC7 with an Omnimount for sale on Audiogon. I'd prefer to sell to a forum member, but had little response here. SSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
space_cowboy Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 Really? An Omnimount that will handle that? Post the link. I'm interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssh Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 space_cowboy, My rear centers are on 60 lb.-rated Omnimounts. They make them for up to 250 lbs., but they are expensive. www.omnimount.com. They are great mounts that are capable of pointing the speaker where you want it. SSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
