Position of Cenetr Channel

[spykids777]

Hi,

After looking at all the HT pics I have a newbie question:

1) Would you recommend putting Center channel above or below a 60" plasma mounted over a fireplace? Which will sound better?

2) Any recommendation on how to mount a 68lb B&W HTM 2D and whether I need to tilt it a little down?

Thanks

The more in line you position the center channel relative to the left and right speakers the better. However, if that is not possible, then position it in the lower rather than the higher position. It will render the center speaker with a little more bass and power which is always a good thing in home theater applications. The center channel is PARAMOUNT and MUST be treated with respect !!! Ok...I'm getting a little excited here !! :-)

In terms of mounting a HTM.....make sure you are in wood studs and/or are using a 'wing style toggle bolt in drywall. Again, try to get the TV at eye level relative to your watching position. If not possible, by all means, tilt it down towards the viewers. What else are ya' gonna' do??? Stand up and watch it??!! :-)
