Thanks Mark. That's interesting to know and kind of what I expected.

I'm just back in scheming mode. I'm actually still contemplating a wall mount vs. a stand for the bottom. Some day I want to have a pair of centers above and below as it's a 106" screen so it might be nice to have the sound anchored to the center. In that case, maybe two wall mounted would match better?

And yes, black would work. Although my screen wall is a dark blue. Close enough though. The new black works with everything.

With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
