I used to have my centre speaker on top of my tv (when i had a CRT) I now want it under my TFT

i have a bit of AV equipment but not a massive amount.

My idea was to buy some kind of shelf that the tv can sit on and the centre speaker sit under however my thread got very little response so i am assuming that kind of thing does not exist.

I have

hyundai A321 tv
Kenwood amp
Kenwood 200 cd changer
shuttle (small pc)
ps2
video player
ps1
Missions M7c2 centre speaker

I like the unit i currently have it suits my needs very well.

Have taken a picture which i will upload asap.

What do you guys do with your centre speakers ?

A lot of people use the Oppli stand from Ikea, which is similar to your existing stand and costs £56 (has it's own thread). I bought one and changed my centre speaker for an Eltax for only £9.95 from Richer Sounds, it fits perfectly and sounds very good. I have saved the existing centre for when I convert to 6.1 or 7.1 as a centre rear speaker.

I bought a whole new wall unit to fit my centre under the TV and have the TV at the right height. Loads of units weren't quite right.

If you want a shelf to go on the existing unit why not make one from some MDF and four furniture legs. Shouldn't cost much to do.

Here is one solution.

That looks a fairly smart solution

[SadR0bot]

What is that cabinet? Looks pretty good, its not a b*stardised duoppli is it?

I just have mine on the shelf under the tv. pic http://www.avforums.com/forums/attac...6&d=1150909639

I ended up getting a sheet of mdf cut to the right size at b&q and for now it is stacked up on all my old videos until i find a unit that will do the job better.

[No3ntry]

well the rather crude solution i came up with was this

[mattcleary]

In-wall?

Lovely adjustable middle shelf on Partington Minim AV rack.... the fact it's adjustable has been a complete godsend. The Monitor Audio RS LCR I upgraded to is bigger than the AE Evo one I had before. Quick adjustment of allen key on each corner and fits perfect again.

Pics to come later, but Centre speaker on A/V Rack shelf. Lovely.

My 9830 has a lovely section between the display & the stand , perfect for my centre speaker.

Hi No3ntry

Have you moved on from having the shelf stood on videos yet? If so I'd be interested in seeing what you have done as I'm in a similar situation.

Mine sits on top of my AV unit

[Knightshade]

Aah... I see you had the unit built Kroc Kroc. Looks really smart. What wood is it?

It's American White Oak. Keep an eye on the Cabinet thread. I'll be posting some better picks there when I get some time. It exceeded my expectations and my expectations were very high
