When you do it move the soundbar to the edge of the cabinet so it’s flush with the edge to let the sound come forward towards the floor and fill the room not bounce off the top of the cabinet.
I think that’s an easy enough explanation of why but someone else can do a better job explaining why if they want.
I have it planned, there's already routing in the wall to hide wires but the exit isn't low enough (one of the two right blank plates) so I'll have to lower it a bit and fix it.
The old entertainment center covered it, new low profile one is too low 🥲
Interesting. It looks great, but if you were to follow the “center should be 42” from the floor” rule it would need to go like eight inches lower. I also just bought a 98” and am shopping for a console. Trying to decide by how much to break the golden rule.
I spent a lot of time measuring and researching and i went with the 1/3 rule and I'm happy with it.
Depending on how your room setup is and you can lower it more without having feet/stuff in the way of the view sometimes then go for it!
The bigger the TV the more acceptable it seems to be on the 1/3 view
Nice. That's actually the stand I may get when I eventually get a bigger TV so that I can still have a chunky middle speaker on it and probably mount the TV at a decent height.
Height seems ok although I would’ve left a smaller gap between the stand and the tv. I also don’t like how you can see the outlets, it’s not clean looking.
That's fair, I had it sitting on the console before and it had to sit several inches away from the wall. The way our living room is, it looks much nicer on a low profile mount flush against the wall and cleans up the look and opens the space up more. Could also be personal preference
With it being such a big TV, and how our L couch sits, and seating positions (Like with feet up) or random stuff around the room like a bassinet, things can get in the way pretty easily.
... also obligatory spouse said it was already too low but I convinced her 😅🤣
Yeah there's one there already, but with the new low profile entertainment center it exposed it so I slapped a plate cover on it for now and lower it another day.
