How High off the ground does your TV sit? thanks

Just a bit more than yours ................. 53" from the tile, the Mits is about 22 pounds more than the Sony but still manageable with two people to slide it in place.

ya, mine is about 30'' from the ground to the bottom of the screen.

do you have any problem with the picture being to dim from sitting so much lower then the TV? i know if i sit on my carpet and look up at my DLP, its is much dimmer then when im sitting at eye level.

Thanks oz..................but I just added a few more things to the system today, so another delay in being finished I'm afraid. Will be wroking on it all weekend installing cables from the HTPC to a 17" LCD tv/monitor, keyboard and mouse that will live on the coffee table in front of the sofa. Still finishing up the 110v power, speaker wires, and sub cables for the amps on the front mains, seems to be no end at times.

Did not have any issues with the Sony but will see about the DLP unit once it is up in place, hopefully will be able to set it up in place by Sunday.

tharkun, any updates? were you able to raise the TV yet?

Just a few more delays...................added a 17' LCD tv/monitor and a KVM consloe to the system, involving running more cables, working on that right now. Hope to be finished and close up the access doors in the tv area so the Mits can be put up in place.

Excellent update Dennis.

Hey Dennis,

Just out of curiosity had you ever tried a listening difference between your center channel speaker in and out of its alcove?

I was wondering if there are any speaker colourations or boundary effects as a result of its placement.

Bruce,
That was a concern of many on the forum when I built the first HT cabinet. I have done several blind tests with differant freinds that have visited and out of a couple dozen listeners no one has detected any differance. I have placed as far as 20 " in front of the HT center and do not notice any change. As usual this is my expierence here in my room, so others may have differant results.
