What wall mount for CSiA6?
I just bought a SR8015 and a center to convert my room to HT.
What are you using to wall mount heavy center channel speakers above the tv?

How about a shelf and use the leg on back of the center to point down.
Or put it below the TV. -

I second this as I once mounted my CSiA6 above the display using a shelf with a slight downward angle. I had attached an aluminum strip with a 90 degree bend, creating a lip to keep the center from sliding forward.Source: BRP Panasonic UB9000, CDP Emotiva ERC3 - Display: LG OLED EVO 83 C3 - Pre/Pro: Marantz 8802A - Amplification: Emotiva XPA-DR3, XPA-2 x 2, XPA-6, Speakers, Mains/2ch-Focal Kanta No2's, C-LSiM706, S-702F/X, RS-RTiA9's, WS-RTiA9's, FH-RTiA3's, Subs - Epik Empire x 2

I suggest not doing any of that and getting a wall mountable center channel like this

A shelf can work as said above , I'm just not a fan of a big thick deep center channel like the CSIA6 above a display. I think it would look terrible.
You could also try and find a LSIC which also was wall mountable and worked very well.

My personal quest is to save to world of bad audio, one thread at a time. -
How it looks depends. If the TV is mounted basically flush with the wall then I suppose the CSiA6 would stick out a good bit, but so would the L & R, so the center really wouldn't look out of place.
If the TV is on top of a piece of furniture just pull the TV out from the wall a bit making the center appear not to stick out as far.
As far as the performance goes the CSiA6 is the stellar one.Political Correctness'.........defined
