    Sanus Speaker Stand Heights? How Tall Should They Be in My Weird Room?

    It's odd you should say that, because the mains' tweeters are at about 32" in height. With an 18" stand, the center tweeter would be at about 24". So are towers and centers supposed to have matching tweeter heights or not? Because I always see centers much lower than towers.

    Sanus Speaker Stand Heights? How Tall Should They Be in My Weird Room?

    I have the Pioneer PK52FS 5.1 system except for the surrounds which I'll be picking up soon. When I do, I'd like to get some Sanus stands for them as well as one for my center channel (which is sitting on an end table I found lying around). The mains are approx. 36" and the surrounds are approx...

    Awkward setup? Help me adjust my speakers/furniture.

    Here's how the new layout has come along. I want to get a stand for my center but I don't know how high it should be. Sanus sells both 18" and 22" sizes. Should I get the 18" because I have a large center speaker? Or should I get the 22" because my bed seems to block the sound? The mains are...

    I've paired my Pioneer FS52 towers, C22 center, and SW-8MK2 subwoofer with my Pioneer VSX-523-K receiver. The receiver has 80 watts per channel at 8 ohms and 140 watts per channel at 6 ohms. I've done some research on the BS of watt ratings and have a couple questions to clear my brain: 1) How...

    Thanks, Type A. I'm waiting for my new Monoprice cables to arrive and once they do I'll start rearranging. Pics will follow. I found rubber feet in the center channel's box and I'll use those as you mentioned. This is a quick diagram of how the setup will look. The towers at the front will be a...

    Awkward setup? Help me adjust my speakers/furniture.

    I have 5.1 DVD-Audio discs and am also planning to use this in the future (with a TV) after I move into an apartment. I've been contemplating moving my bed to stick out of the back wall to face the windows and have the towers on either side of the opposite wall with the center on a makeshift...

    Awkward setup? Help me adjust my speakers/furniture.

    As you can see by the pictures below I am currently running a 3.1 system (I will expand to 5.1 soon) in my bedroom. The center channel at first fit very well into the shelf that it's in, but I'm worried that I'm hurting the acoustics. Is the bookshelf blocking out sound and draining it out...
