receiver and center channel speaker
Can you put the center channel on top of a receiver? Is it not
recommended? The receiver and speaker are both made by onkyo and are def not high end. |

Your center speaker is most likely shielded but still, since most designs for receivers include all sorts of anti-vibration measures, it's a bad idea. I'm sure it will not do any harm as long as the speaker IS shielded and if You can't hear a degradation of sound there You decide! -- Joakim Wendel Remove obvious mail JUNK block for mail reply.

Putting it anywhere completely defeats the point of localizing dialog. If you can't put the center speaker @ the tv, it is better to do without it. At least you won't hear all the dialog coming from the vicinity of your receiver. |

There was no suggestion of a TV in the OP...(Nowadays there are plasma's and procection and whathaveyounot) But i would like to add that IF You decide to put Your center on the receiver make sure that You allow for air to pass through the receiver. -- Joakim Wendel Remove obvious mail JUNK block for mail reply.

My problem is I have limited space to put all the components I have. Check this pic out http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gtg270h/receiver_setup.jpg I have a rackmount tascam dat player coming that I am going to add to the line-up. Where do you think everything should go? My main problem is that I am not tall enough to reach the record player so I would like to move it down to a lower level. |

Check this pic out http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gtg270h/receiver_setup.jpg Why don't you just put the center speaker on top of the tv? I can't really tell from the picture if it's a flatscreen, or a tube. If it's a tube, put the speaker on top; if it's a flatscreen, leave the speaker on top of the DVD. If there's too much vibration -- the dvd skips -- then perhaps another shelf just for the speaker. I have a rackmount tascam dat player coming that I am going to add to the line-up.

It is a tube however there are lots of drunkards that frequent my room and the top of the tube tv is slanted so the center speaker would not be very secure. |

A little center speaker stand that is designed for putting a center on a TV just like Yours. See picture; http://194.132.118.17/item_img/se/large/l095363f.jpg It's a bad idea to put anything directly on top of a component like Your DVD player. Expect a bit boomy bass from Your center since it is located in a corner. -- Joakim Wendel Remove obvious mail JUNK block for mail reply. My homepage : http://violinist.nu |

No idea if You live outside Sweden Ask at Your nearest TV-dealer or do a google search on "speaker stand TV center" Price would be about 25$? -- Joakim Wendel Remove obvious mail JUNK block for mail reply.
