Lots of threads on how high to mount a TV, and lots on center channel placement, but nothing on how close they could or should be.
I'm going to be placing my center channel on a cabinet, and wall mounting my TV as low as possible over the speaker. But how low is possible?
The TV will fit entirely behind the speaker, so should I align the physical bottom of the TV with the top of the speaker, or could I go lower to where the screen actually starts?
For reference the cabinet is 19" high, the center channel is 7" high. It's a 42" Samsung B450 and viewing height is 32-36ish. (low couch)
Mounting the TV bottom at the same height as the top of the CC is going to center the TV around 41 inches, that is why I had hoped to get it a little lower, but I wonder if I'll be bothered by the speaker cutting into the silhouette of the TV.
Your comments, tips or humiliation is appreciated.
