Shade Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I was wondering where most people place their RC-7? I have a DLP tv on the way and trying to figure out a better place for it. Anyone find a stand big enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael hurd Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 If the tv is against the wall, you might use a regular wall or ceiling mount for a television or vcr to cradle the center speaker and tilt it to the listening area.

Orange Peel Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I placed mine on top of my 65" Mitsubishi. Works great. Sucker is VERY heavy though, I plan to buy some sort of glass/wood slab to put on top of the tv, then place the RC-7 on that, this way it takes the load off the center of the TV.

PhilMays Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 He does not have enough room on a DLP to place the RC-7. Perhaps wall mounted stand as mentioned before. The big question is are you going to wall mount the DLP or place it on a stand? Wall mounted may give you an oppertunity directly beneath it and if placed on a stand then one that could accomodate a center channel would be great.

BlueMonk Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Right now, mine is on top of my projection TV. However, I will be buying a DLP Samsung early next year when my home is finished. I was hoping to find a stand that will allow me to put the RC-7 under the TV firing upward. It does not look like Samsung's stand will work. But I really haven't done much research yet. Do you have a Samsung? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenstr Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I have my RC-7 sitting on this stand: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-ZCBpmzsJMqI/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?s=0&c=15&g=142050&I=051NFC18C&o=p&a=0&cc=01&avf=N&search= Matches it perfect and it has tilt pins to raise it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAurora Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 You can't mount a DLP because it is a rare projection TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v3spitfire Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 With a DLP, I would build it into the wall if you can (depending on what you are using the opposite room for. The wall would give you a 5-6" shelf. If you can protrude into the opposing room and dry wall that in, you could turn that into a nick nack shelf in the opposite room. You could then have the speaker flush with the DLP TV. That would look very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shade Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 BlueMonk : I'm getting the Samsung HLP5685W. It's the one with the built in pedestal. It should be delivered some time next week. It sounds like you're looking at the 63W line. I was originally looking one of those. Unfortunately, I don't think any of the stands will hold the RC-7, at least not any that I found. Doesn't seem that the manufacturer's are expecting anything that big. Unfortunately, building it into the wall isn't a possibility as I'm currently living in an apartment. Seems like either the stand Kenstr gave a link to or the tv/vcr mount above the tv might be the best option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilMays Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 What is rare projection? Did you mean rear? We looked at buying either an LCD, DLP, or Plasma TV for the bar area in one of our restaurants. They can be mounted on the wall even if a "shelf" like unit has to be built. Enclosing them in a wall is the best if you do not need to get to the connection often (it seems I am always playing with my connections ).

BBB Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 You gots it all wrong. You gotta put the TV on TOP of the RC-7. Now dats what I call RARE projection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylanl Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 I guess I am the odd one. I place my RC7 under my 36" Toshiba TV pointing up. The only reason I did this is that the RC7 magnets was messing up the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruinsrme Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 I have mine on a ceiling mounted tv stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 We have a flat Stewart screen on our wall and I needed a place to store about 300 record albums that would double as temporary seating and a place to hold our RC-7. So, I built this unit which resembles a little stage for under the screen. It'll store more than 400 vinyl record albums and the cradle holding the RC-7 allows you to tilt it up and back to gain access to storage below. The seats on either side of the speaker are also hinged and tilt open to the front. It took only 1-1/2 days to build in our garage and about $35 worth of materials. The unit is free-standing, will support two adults and is mounted on teflon glides so it will slide on the tile floor easy and without scratching.

I saw this one http://www.btech-usa.com/bt14.html but it can only handle up to 20 lbs. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still works fine for my 36" Toshiba and RC-7. I'm doubly glad now if the RC-7 magnets could potentially cause a problem with my TV. The Toshiba speakers suck, but the picture is fantistic.

HTMAN21 Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I got a DLP Panasonic (PT-50DL54) on Saturday. Got this stand from CC. I reversed the lower and upper supports to give approximately 12" clearance on the middle shelf. I previously had my RC7 on top of my Pioneer 530HD set. http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Z-Line-Designs-Palisades-TV-Stand--Z241S-/sem/rpsm/oid/82359/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do The overall sound of my system is better with the center speaker at this level.

myriadcorp Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I had the same problem. After thinking about it long and hard I decided to get the stand below. http://www.bello.com/AV/avsc-2051mc.asp The speaker should fit on the bottom shelf. The TV is a Samsung DLP 5663. The stand is the same length as the tv so it should look nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
