So this has become a bit of a costly exercise... I finally bought some bookshelves on stands at the end of last year and also thought I might as get the matching centre speaker (q acoustics) because that is what I had always wanted.
I wrongly assumed that my wall would be stud (the house is 5 years old). So when the electrician turned up to put me a new power socket for the TV and drop a few brush plates in
.. It turned out it was dot and dab and actually he's had to make big cut outs instead.
I've still got the pieces he cut out and I have got 2 x 4k HDMI and 1 x Optical cable running through there. I'm guessing if they fail I'm screwed in the future?
I'm a bit of a DIY novice. Any tips on making the best job I can out of this?
What makes everything worse is that my media unit is actually also too short. I was thinking I either need new taller legs or a piece of similar dark walnut to run across the back like an upstand. Any ideas?
Overall that centre speaker has cost me a lot of heartache
