    What do you put between your Centre and the TV console?

    I have a HTM2 Diamond that is currently sitting on the supplied bumpons. Below that is a teak wood TV console. Would anyone recommend that I replace the bumpons with something else?

        If you can play with it for a day, move everything out of the center console top, move everything out of the speaker's way, and just play with different types of mounts, i.e., use the rubber feet, wood, spikes, whatever you feel like testing. See if any of these feet sound any different to you. Personally, I think that with center channels on a center console refraction is a bigger problem than the vibration due to whatever type of feet you have.

        For me, even though my center console is a solid 105lbs on its own, I still use adjustable spikes under my center channel speaker to prevent vibration as much as I can (very very low profile). However, I understand that the wall behind speaker, the glass bottles next to the speaker, the tv over it, etc... have more of an affect on the sound than the amount of ground vibration reaching the speaker.

          centre channel problems
          by kcsun
          My home theatre setup uses 803di as left and right and an HTM2Di as centre. My ongoing issue is that of intelligibility of speech. I do realise that actors do not speak "proper" any more and do not always face directly to the microphone when talking. (this is why animated movies are usually...
