Advice on my speaker placement. - Blu-ray Forum

Robert1986 · 01-03-2009, 11:32 PM

I'd like for my center to be on the same level as my 2 fronts. My center speaker is 15" in front of the left and right speakers. So, would this placement of my front speaker help balance them out?

Suggestions?

Thanks

Yea, all 3 front speakers should be close to the same distance from the front wall/listener as possible. So by mounting it above the TV should help. You should try to angle it down towards the "sweet spot". They should also be close to the same height, but that is hardly ever possible unless you have a dedicated HT room.

Thanks for the reply.

Will mount it up and see if it helps.

Mounted the center onto the wall. Now all front speakers are level. The improvement in sound was very noticeable. Its so much better now.

Sweet image! I cant take any good pics of my screen. Guess my Cell just wont cut it as a cam haha.
I never mounted a speaker above the TV. I usually use the shelf right under my TV on the stand so I'm curious does it sound better being mounted above the TV in your opinion?
