Hi all,
I'm eagerly awaiting my new 5.1 system from Ascend and am thinking about how I will place my center speaker. I'm unable to mount it on the wall above my TV. The two other options I'm considering are:
1) Getting a center speaker stand to put in front of my TV stand.
2) Getting a TV stand that will fit the center speaker underneath the TV.

It seems to me that the first option would be better acoustically because it will not "bottle up" the sound so to speak. The second option has the advantage of fitting the speaker flush with the TV and saving space.

What do you think of my options? Have I missed any alternatives?
Thanks.
