Thanks.
I wanted the centre speaker to be at the same height as the top of the L/R speakers. I think it looks better and arguably gives the best sound. The sofa is a fair way from the TV and reasonably high (recliners are usually a bit taller if you are looking for height), so you dont have to strain your neck.
Humax FreeSat PVR and Denon DVD 1920 (Oppo to replace the latter when available)
Onkyo 875
I see your point. Do the front speakers intergrate any better in your opinion? Oppo will be a huge impovement over the Denon! 875 seems a popular match up with the Monitor Audio RS speakers.
Hard to say, as I did not experiment with the centre speaker height in the new setup - it just seemed logical that having the speakers at the same height would be ideal. Previously they were all stuck in one corner, speakers either side of a big CRT with the centre speaker sitting on top, so the sound is now very different.
