Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Vp 150 stand???

Just don't get to big of a screen for your room, or you will get headaches.:) A good rule of thumb for a 16x9 screen is to be 1.3 to 1.5 times the screen width back. My screen is a cinemascope 2.35 aspect ratio screen, so I like to use my second row of seating for the movies done in 2.35 so my eyes don't dart back and forth as much. The front row is ideal for 1.85 DVD movies and HD material (1.78)....

j, As Randy (Sirquack) pointed out, many of us, due to physical restrictions, are unable to achieve the optimum setup of having the tweeter(s) of the center channel at the same height as the tweeter(s) in the main speakers. The fact is, as long as the tweeter(s) in the center are directed toward your ears as much as possible, you will not be loosing much.

In fact, in one of Axiom's Tweaks and Tips titled Fine-Tuning Center-Channel Sound, Alan states:

Some Axiomites have found great success putting the center almost on the floor or on a short stand with the center angled up towards the listening area.

The tweeter in my center channel is 16" lower than the tweeters in my mains. The sound from the center channel is firmly anchored to the middle of my screen and pans sound seamless. Works great.

I wanted something that would hold my VP150 above my TV, and after weeks of research, this is what I found

speaker monitor stand

I just got it last night and it works great! The only problem is that I had to buy a pair but I only needed one... so if anyone needs one, let me know!
