5.1 System With Tall Center Channel?
I am an audiophile with a 5.1 system. My center channel speaker stands ~8 inches tall. If I place the center channel at ideal listening position of ear level on the same stand as my TV it will block a good 1/4 of the bottom of the screen. I've heard the center of the TV screen should be eye level. How can I balance ideal listening position and ideal viewing position without blocking a huge portion of my picture? I currently have the television on a 28 inch desk with the center channel on a side table below the screen at ear level.
