    Center channel placement with RPTV

    Some have built shelves over the rptv,and aimed the speaker down. Or put the speaker on a stand in front of rptv and aim speaker up.Put it below where the remote sensor on the set is,so the remote control works.

    Best way to transport speakers when moving?

    I would go to Walmart or Kmart and get those big plastic boxes with lids.Wrap your speakers and put them in the plastic boxes with clothes or pillows.The lid keeps them dry and keeps them being damaged from anything on top.
