I didn't really know where else to post this, but those of you that mounted your TV's above your fireplace, how far away did you put your theater speakers? I have a cubby that is built to hold a tv over the fireplace, but I'm not sure where to put my speakers without damaging them from the heat.

It's a gas fireplace. I've never had one so I don't know how much heat they put out. Here are some crappy pics to show the living room set up. Here's the primary viewing angle. I'd rather sacrifice having to point my eyes up a bit to save some floor space. The room is pretty small, and my current tv is rediculously huge. I'm wanting to buy a tv that will fit in the space, and then get a freestanding av rack for my equipment to save on some space.

Thanks for all the replies. Yeah, I'm renting. I don't really like the idea of wall mounting because of that. I measured it out and I should be able to fit a 42" in there, which is 9" smaller. I am hoping that since I am going to rearrange the furniture the viewing angle will be closer and hopefully will compensate for the smaller screen Glompix - that is pretty much the room unfortunately. I was standing against the stairs. Here are a couple other pics for reference. dreesemonkey - I thought about putting the components in that cubby, but I was worried about the head of all of those components together. That amp puts out a fair about of heat and the WHS already complains about heat. After researching some stands I was leaning towards a tower like this and placing it where the TV currently is, and moving the love seat on that wall as well.

MMD3 posted:We're about to do a full home remodel and the sky's sort of the limit (within reason) for our movie-watching den. The room isn't incredibly deep so we will just have a sectional in there most likely (no theater seating or anythign crazy) and I'm thinking I want to do like a 60" tv rather than a projector just due to ease of use and not having to wait for the lamp to heat up. Sorry I'm on my phone or I would find a link, but if you want to keep your speakers you could create a fake wall where the tv will be mounted that will allow space for your floor standing speakers and even center channel. There is a fabric you can then attach that would hide the speakers but allow the sound to pass.

Yeah I hadn't thought of it either until I saw it. I can't find the one I'm thinking of, but this could get you started. http://www.avsforum.com/t/837848/minimalist-approach-to-screen-wall

Looking for some opinions on what to upgrade next. I just moved into a house so I'm messing around with new placements for everything. Currently I have a 3.0 setup, but this summer I plan on running wiring for the rears once I get the front placement locked in. Currently: 42" Vizio m420kd 1080p LCD Denon avr 1611 Pioneer sx-820 Pro-ject Carbon RPM Pioneer sp-f551-lr Andrew Jones Towers Pioneer sp-c21 center Sansui SP-2000 Amazon fireTv AppleTv I have a powered sub in the garage, but haven't got it out yet. My first thought was to upgrade the tv to a bigger size since now I can accommodate, but it sounds like I should wait. We are happy with picture quality so would just be a size difference. The other thing I was going to look at was upgrading my receiver. My old set up had two different areas for the vinyl and home theater, but now it's going to be in the same room. If I ran the turn table through the same receiver I could use one set of speakers instead of two which would free up some space in the room. This is the receiver I was looking at, but I'm open to other options: http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/marsr6009/marantz-sr6009-7.2-receiver-wi-fi/bt/airplay-sale-reduced-150/1.html savesthedayrocks fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Jan 1, 2016 |
