Sierra 2EX center suggestions needed

[bluepara]

I have for a home theater:
1. two Sierra 2EX V2 speakers
2. two 12” subwoofers
3. 75” TV with legs on each end

It sounds amazing, but I do want to add a center. The center speaker is going to be a challenge because of, uh, the wife.

I have a TV sitting atop a TV stand. It cannot be affixed to the wall because of reasons. The center will sit below/in front of the TV, so I will need to raise the TV a bit (maybe on WAF approved blocks) to accommodate the center. I want to minimize how much I need to raise the TV. So my needs are basically:

1. A center that is timbre matched to Sierra 2EX V2 speakers
2. A center that is as short in height as possible. Width and depth are irrelevant.
3. We do not play movies very loud, will sit approx 10’ away, and are not too far to the left or right.

I am thinking the Duo V2 LCR Center is my best bet, but are there better options?

I don't know if it's possible, but what about a single 2ex v2 on it's side?

They seem to be 7.5" wide, which would then be 7.5" tall, and the timbre should match perfectly, I would think.

One approach that would increase your options is replacing the feet on your tv with a tabletop stand; there are many to choose from. I have a Kanto Tts100 which is attractive, allows for variable height and swivels. I have a duo center on the stand under the tv.

Syracuse Risers also makes very nice stands, including custom dimensions

Unfortunately, my TV is 78 pounds and the TV stand it is sitting on top supports 90 pounds max. So unless the TV stand is a floor standing model, it will not work. In the future I will definitely plan this out a little better!

If you want the lowest profile, I think the Duo V2 LCR center makes sense. It'll match well.

If the legs are on the two ends, then you could get a couple of these as racks where the legs sit on top and you have a big gap in the middle for any center that you want.

Three finish options. Heavy duty weight capacity and you can choose the height of the racks by how many shelves you put in during assembly. There are also monolith tv stands with the same finish options, where you can also choose how many of the shelves you want to put in to get the right height.

There are also monolith amp stands that can be used to prop something up further if you want. Same finish options too. For example you could also get the tv stand along with two amp stands to prop up the tv, and allow for a center underneath. You might be able to squeeze a Duo in there depending on the TV. It would be really close.

I hadn’t thought about the problem as thoroughly as I should have. There are more options than I realized. Thanks everybody!

Without question, our Ribbon Duo center is the perfect solution for you. It is an excellent center, with good dynamics and amazing clarity and detail - a perfect match with Sierra-2EXV2 mains.
