dtreat776 Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 What do you guys use for speaker stands for your RC-7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonrpayne Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 I use my TV, however Sanus makes a very cool above-the-tv shelf that works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbajner Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 make one yourself, I did. my KLF-C7 sits on a stand right in front of my RPTV (65" Mits). bought two pre-cut finished shelf boards from Menards. one shelf was a little larger than the other and used it on the bottom for stability. bought two 1" thick, 36" long dowel rods. cut dowel rods to desired length. assemble with screws. center sounds a lot better than on top of the RPTV.

mbajner Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 here is a pic of my setup with the stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CO1 Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 You could always use my patent pending Rubbermaid toolbox stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbajner Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 your toolbox works but its a little too low. maybe two of them stacked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtreat776 Posted January 5, 2004 Author Share Posted January 5, 2004 mbajner, I like that stand, I think I can handle that. I have been looking all over for center channel stands. They are either to small (wide and deep)and/or do not have the capacity to hold a 45 pound speaker. Thanks for all the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruinsrme Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 I put mine on a ceileng tv mount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CO1 Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 You proabbly can't tell but the rubber handle is propped up which angles the speaker right at my head. When I took the photo I was standing behind the main seating area so it gives the impression of being angled too low. I actually have more room to tilt it even higher but it is not required as I used a laser to position it to point right at my head when seated.

98_1LE Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 I put a shelf on the wall above the tv, but ordered one of the Sanus stands from Amazon a couple days ago since they are only $19.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtreat776 Posted January 7, 2004 Author Share Posted January 7, 2004 mbajner, Yesterday I finished building the speaker stand that you described. Thanks for the info! Now I just sit and wait for my front projector to arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raneman Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Is the Sanus shelf mentioned in this thread the "SANUS SYSTEMS TV-SB Television Shelf for Center Channel Speakers"? If so, it appears this shelf is only 19" wide and supposedly only holds 15 lbs. At first glance that wouldn't seem to work for the RC-7 mentioned or my C-7--but has anyone used this shelf successfully for those speakers? Does anyone know of a similar top-of-the-TV shelf that is wider and will support more weight? Unfortunately a stand in front of my TV won't work for my setup, unless I get a different TV stand.

dtreat776 Posted January 7, 2004 Author Share Posted January 7, 2004 Before I just put the RC-7 on top of my entertainment center. I know some put the speaker on top of their tv sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbajner Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 dtreat776 did you paint the dowel rods? at first I lived with them natural. then finally painted them. the center on the sheld right in front of the RPTV is usually more in line with the mains. the goal is to keep the speakers on the same plane. placing the center on top throws this off completely. if you can get a pic of your stand in your setup, would like to see it.

dtreat776 Posted January 8, 2004 Author Share Posted January 8, 2004 I left the dowel rods unpainted for now. When I have the time and money to paint the entire room I will consider painting it then. I'll get a pick as soon as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan_R Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Sorry to bring this one back from the dead. In searching the archives for "speaker stand" for the RC-xx series, I didn't see this link mentioned, so I thought I'd share it for those who need a stand for their Reference centers. I just ran across http://www.standsandmounts.com/index.asp, who has a section for center speaker stands specifically, as well as "regular" speaker stands broken down into very useful (and unusual) height categories. For those looking for a single, pre-manufactured 13" stand, this seems like a good place to know. Best regards, ~~Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
space_cowboy Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 That's a good link, they do have some more unusual stands that people may need. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
