Opinions Needed-Before Final Decision - Blu-ray Forum

SDBlu · 01-10-2009, 08:12 PM

I wanted to ask you peeps on this forum before making my decision...Should I wall mount my LCD or wallmount my center channel above my LCD. If you guys/gals can take a look at my set up in my HT pics...what would you guys do if you had to make this decision?

Cost:

Center Channel wallmount: Axiom speaker mount/bracket $40, and I will need a longer speaker wire from Dayton for approx. $30 = Total $70

or

LCD wallmount: Monoprice tilt wallmount $32, I already own a wire-cover. no new wires needed, since the tv will only be approximately 5 to 6 inches above where it is now = Total $32

Oh, BTW I will be doing the task myself, so don't need to worry about labor costs for any installers...

With the arrangement you currently have, I'd mount the tv and leave the center channel on the Entertainment stand.

OR

Mount the tv and mount the center channel (so that the height is exactly even with the front left and front right speakers)

Great setup by the way!

Mount the TV... That sounds so dirty.

I know...

Sorry to say it, but I would do what Slec suggests as well. Maybe not mount the centre speaker on the wall, but definitely raise it somehow so that the tweeters are all vertically-aligned. Front pans would sound amazingly smooth.
