Center channel mounting solutions

[Jhnsmj]

Has anyone tried the Center Stage CSB-1409-PRO with a Sierra 2 center? I see a review with someone putting a 30 lb speaker on it, but the design doesn't necessarily look that sturdy.

I would not want to find out....that shelf is only rated for 15lbs the S2 is ~20lbs. I would only consider stud mounted support for an application like that.

I would do something like this>

Thanks - I can't wall-mount yet, but maybe once we find a new cabinet.

I just wanted to add this here due to a great experience and it might help some people pull the trigger on the Sierra Horizon if location is a problem.

So if you are like me and don't have room for woodworking here is a TV riser. The owner is very nice and through 6 emails we worked out a perfect riser to go over my Horizon and protect it from the weight of the TV.

I apologize to Dave and Co. if this was out of line and obviously delete this if it is.

Hi guys,

I'm looking to mount a Luna as a centre channel above an LED TV. So far the best thing I can find is the B-Tech BT77.

I understand the Luna has a Threaded insert and wondering if that's better to use than to clamp it down with a bracket?

BTW … I'll probably use the same bracket as a surround for a pair of Lunas as well.


Cheers,


JP

Hi JP,

Do you intend to mount the Luna in a vertical or horizontal position? If vertical, no reason to use a clamping style bracket -- the Luna is designed for easy wall mounting. In fact, you can flush mount it by just hanging the speaker from a wood screw using the integrated keyhole bracket.

Thanks for the reply David.

I finally found a way to mount the Luna horizontally. When I get the hardware, I'll take some photos and post them here.

Don't forget, you are going to need to rotate the tweeter.

These brackets work well for horizontal mounting: http://www.cotytech.com/content-prod...t_sp_os08.html
