my centre arrived today to complete my system so far 2 f4 floorstanders and 2 f1 rr's.

as u can see from the subject and the image where would it be best the amp is on top atm because its a really snug fit on the middle shelf and worried about it not getting enough air to breathe other wise thats where the centre would go.

would the centre be ok on the middle shelf?

should i place the amp in the tightly fit middle shelf and place centre in its place on top?

put the speaker on the amp?

where would it sound best?

hope you can help thanks adam.
 
Surely, the amp would fit better on the BOTTOM shelf, moving the Sky box and PS3 to the middle? ÿIt looks as if it's not such a squeeze. ÿThat would allow for the centre on the top shelf (where it would sound best).
 
If the Amp fit on the bottom that would be ideal but I bet it is too deep.

I would put the Centre on the middle shelf and try to angle it up. Should sound fine there.
 
Hi Adam,

Move the amp to the bottom shelf and other equipment to the middle shelf and place centre speaker on top shelf.
 
i'd either go with the suggestion of moving the amp to the bottom, and the speaker on top, or, wallmounting the centre under the screen. not sure if it'd be too big though.

I have to give Adam credit in that a simple move to the bottom shelf would not have been missed

The shelves seem to be all the same size, difficult to judge from pic. If the Skybox fits wouldn't the amp fit, not sure of the sizes.
 
Hi, I would say move the amp to the bottom as suggested and sky and ps3 middle but bring the tv down off the wall and put the centre channel in front of the tv (providing it isn't going to obscure the screen) I have the same speakers and a very similar stand (in fact probably even flimsier than yours) and it works fine.That way the two fronts will be on either side of the screen rather than below which is the optimum position.

I agree. A couple of door wedges will do the job.
 
Agree with the others for amp and bottom and speaker top shelf, oh and change that wallpaper too.
 
Agree with t'others, shift your kit about and try and get the centre speaker on either the top or middle shelf of the stand.Failing that wall mount it above the screen
 
I have pretty much the same stand as you and have my centre speaker placed on the middle shelf angled up so that it meets the listening plane of the tweeters from the main speakers from where I am sitting. Use blobs of blutak to raise the height at the front to the correct angle and make sure the front of the speaker juts out a bit to avoid sound reflections from the glass.
 
i managed to move things around on peoples sujestions the amp is now on the bottom shelf, sky hd and ps3 middle shelf and the centre on the top shelf will try and upload a pic later!

miss my amp abit on the top tho it looked cool 🙁

also i did the mic setup once the centre was fitted last night have a little mix feelings atm i was watch darts on sky last night and the centre sounded quite dominant but then i play pro evo soccer on the ps3 which has truehd only comentary was being produced and it was kinda being drowded out by the crowd atmousphere which was being created by the other 4 speakers this sound normal?
