about to purchase sony kp44px2 rptv, what does everyone do with their centre speaker?


does anyone have a bracket for attatching to top of tv?

i ask because my centre is mission m7c2 - v big!

I too have this problem with Eltax Liberty setup.
I am currently balancing the centre on top of the set with no problems. I am wary of the vibrations and am therefore in the process of making a bracket to support and isolate it.
Will let you know how i get on.

I used to have my center speaker on top of tv and it was held in place by (AV man's best friend) Blu Tak. In fact it was so secure, the (now) ex g/f put pictures on top of it!!!

I too,have the 44px2 and the M7C2.I,ve got the front of the centre blue tacked all along the front of the speaker on the top of the TV.I've got a a wedge shaped peice on polystyrene"carefully crafted"by my own hand! supporting the rest of the speaker on the TV.Seems pretty stable....so far!

I don't have aproblem keeping the speaker (Eltax Liberty) up there as it has four soft rubber feet which stop any movement. My only concern is the vibration being transmitted through the set may cause damage. Any thoughts

I had this problem, I've got a fairly hefy center speaker and there's no way it would pirch on top of my 36pw9607, so I bought a portable TV bracket, one of the ones with quite a long arm, because my center is rear ported, put a few pads under the speaker to stop some vibration and mounted it on there... not too bad at all... I'd recommend under the TV, but if you cant then this seems to work quite well.

only problem is that i have a bay window behind the set - no brackets allowed.

Ah, thats gonna make life difficult... in that case, buy a projector and put the center speaker under the screen

You could always dispense with the Centre speaker altogether .

I think I'll make a small attractive stand which projects up and over from the rear to the front, about 4"above the screen. Possibly using some thin chrome bars with clear perspex top shelf. I can live with it at the moment until i can be arsed getting all 'Handy Andy'.
I will find an answer as I am impressed with the overall performance of all my kit.

Sony kp44px2
Yamaha DSPAX620 Amp

I saw a mention of this somewhere which might be of use:

i too have the window problem with my px2, so its currently sitting on top of 1000 classic recipes book about 4" thick in front of it. once calibrated with the other speakers using a sound meter it sounds great
