nomad02rider Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I have been trying to find a well built (solid wood) ent. center that has room for a big center channel (22"x9"x 13") and possibly upgradeable. What do you guys use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcott Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I have been trying to find a well built (solid wood) ent. center that has room for a big center channel (22"x9"x 13") and possibly upgradeable. What do you guys use? Speaker stands are the preferred method of mounting a center channel. Entertainment centers are not a speakers best friend. An anology would be to take the speaker with you into the shower (skip turning on the water). Now that is an exageration but the same effects occur when you place a speaker inside another enclosure. I would also suggest that you place it on the same axis as the left and right channel drivers, or as close as possible. Higher is better than lower.

feersum dreadnot Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 My TV is mounted on the wall. My center channel sits on top of my subwoofer, which places it at the same height as the horns on my Fortes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InVeNtOr Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 i had that problem too, so i designed one myself (autocad) and had a local builder build it. it cost me $200 and i still have it today. works great and my center speaker is the ksf-c5. i keep the center flush with the et center so i don't get any of booming sound. it is also open in the back to help prevent that. i have some posts here in the architecture section about this et center and a few others i have designed. here is the link to my current et center. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/storage/7/882174/entertainment%20center.pdf if it suits your needs, just print it out and have a builder build it for you.

Thanks I also built boxes for under the RWS-15's. So they would get a good slam on the wall. It made a big diffrents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted March 21, 2007 Moderators Share Posted March 21, 2007 I can't seem to change my pic to the correct size so, this is my homemade " center channel stand ". http://www.cyclonecj.com/dtel/home/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I have my center on top of my tv now, but it used to be on top of my "big screen" entertainment center. Its one of those with the bridge thing that connects the two pillars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
