I have no clue how to set up my center channel (VP150). I cant rest it on top of the TV, I cant put it under the TV in my TV stand because my A/V equipment is there. I have reservations about hanging it on the wall.

What have you guys done for placement of your center speaker?

Placemement is kinda limited for the center channel. At first I had it sitting on top of my LCD TV until one night it decided to take a dive. Next I placed it on the TV stand just in front of the tv but when I purchased a new lcd it interfered with the IR. That was a bummer. Now I think I have found a permanent placement. I purchased the wall mount from Axiom, took out the light fixture for the entertainment center bridge, and hung the mount and speaker through the hole. Looks cool now and I don't have to worry about it taking a dive, interferring with the remote signal, or kids poking at it.

Mark (S Johnson) made a real nice stand for his center channel that bends up and around the TV and holds the center channel just over the top of the TV. Very nice...

what dlp tv do you have?
i bought a center channel stand im not sure the name off the top of my head. but its pretty nice but still needed modification which was very easy.oh i found it shelf this is not where i bought it from though trust me you dont want to buy from where i did. anyway if you look at the pic you see the legs in the back on my tv toshiba 52hm84 the legs were not long enough. so i had to go to home dep and get some threaded rod the same size and a threaded coupler to make them longer worked out perfect. if i get a chance and can take some pics of mine i will tonight.

Yes, I've seen stands at Best Buy or at Crutchfield.com that sit on top of a projection TV. The legs are longer in the back to support it. Good luck.

Thanks kcarlile!

My wife and I made the halloween costume for my 1 1/2 year old that year. She's 4 now. Everyone seemed to love the costume, it was fun.

Lawsab, I purchased one of these shelves from Home Depot and mounted it directly above my plasma tv. The tv is is sitting atop a table and the shelve's front edge matches perfectly with the top outermost edge of the tv, I used small velcro circles under the front bottom edge of the center channel/shelve and stuck something or other underneith the back of the center so it would be facing directly towards the listener's position. Works great and looks good as well!
