Mounting CS20

averb

Hello
I'm looking to pickup a CS20 Center Channel to match my T90e Fronts. The problem, because of its size, I'm not sure where to mount it. I have a 50" Panasonic Plasma that sits on a Media console. I can't put it in front because the height of the CS20 would block the picture. The CS20 would not fit under the media console either. I am wondering if anyone knows of a Stand or shelf that hooks on or mounts to the top of a Plasma which would hold a center Channel speaker. I have come across a few products but they look to be more suitable for thicker LCD TV's instead of a plasma. Please advise with any information or suggestions. Thanks....

Something like this might work for you.

Basically two L-brackets with all the mounting hardware you need. It's designed for wall mounting center channels though...several people on here use them, and they're all happy with them.

I have been looking for a similar mount for my samsung lcd, really no luck. Here is a link to another thread on here, that includes a discussion about mounting the center speaker:

i ordered the bracket mentioned above and its already arrived except I havn't opened it up or mounted it. Haven't even purchased the center channel yet and my only hesitation is its size. Too many threads where people mention its HUGH. I'm thinking of going with the CS10 instead to save in size and $$. Does anyone have any feeling on whether or not the the CS20 is worth the extra $100 more over the CS10. Its being matched with T90e's in the front.

With regards to the link to the other discussion, very interesting concepts using the wall mounting holes to fashion a Center Channel stand. I may consider this so as not to put holes in the wall. If i put holes in the wall might as well mount the TV on the wall... i think.

It would be well worth the extra money for the bigger center channel. A better center channel is going to be the single biggest improvement in a home theater setup, because the center channel carries roughly 60% of a movies soundtrack on average.

That mount will work just fine with the CS20 as well. There are several people around using those same mounts for their larger center channels.
