LCR600 S3 Center Channel Stand with DM603s

[OC 335i]

I'm currently looking for some center channel stands because my tv stand cannot properly accomodate the center channel and was wondering if there was a recommended height for the center channel.

I was looking at the stands here:

This VTI 13" Stand looks like a good, cheap option. What do you think?

Speakers consist of:
DM603 S3 (Front)
DM601 S3 (Surround)
LCR600 S3 (Center)

The setup is going in a bedroom w/carpet.

Thanks for your help.

they are good stands for the money. I used to have one of VTI-made stand for my LCR600 and the stand are very good value for the money. In theory, you want all the tweeters in your front stage to be aligned with your ears vertically when you are in your listening position. Ideally, you'd want your center speaker to be at the same height as your L and R speakers, but that would block your view of the TV. They are great stands for the price though.

I have the VTI VSP stands for my 602 surrounds (x4). I filled them with sand and they look and feel completely solid. The construction of them could be a little better, they are a little "cheap" looking when you look really close up. But they are really well built for the price. Mine had a few flaws in them from the molding of the parts, but it was nothing that detracted enough to make me return them.

If you fill them with sand, I suggest taking the paper/cardboard stopper piece they give you and sealing it with glue to the pole, it will help keep the sand from coming out. I also suggest cooking the sand for 30-45 minutes at 350 in a glass dish to get the moisture out of the sand so it won't ruin your stands.

In all honesty though, everyone complements my stands as looking really good with my 602s (I have the black 602s and the silver pole, black base VSP stands)...so for the price, it's tough to beat!

Enjoy!
