I did fit my Yamaha AVR in it but was a little tight with banana plugs. Tv height is not adjustable but I had a Wharfdale 10cc centre speaker under it and that fitted fine under my 48" Samsung.

Ta.

Looking at the instruction manual, it doesn't appear that there would be any problems with leaving the back off as the internal shelf and the TV mount are otherwise supported. Would you agree?

And I'd second Nick's request for a quick measurement if possible. I'm sure my centre speaker (15cm H) would fit under my 42" TV, but I'm going to upgrade to a 55" HDR in a year or two, so I'd probably need about 52cm from the cabinet's top surface to the exact centre of the mounted TV to fit in the speaker.

Sorry guys had a manic day, will get measurements up tomorrow.

TJM : Yes no reason why you could not leave the back off, I squeezed mine in as I am a bit ocd with cables so wanted them hidden

Right still not had chance to grab pics but from top of cabinet to bottom of tv is 11cm.

Ah Rubbish no good for me that they really need to rise that bracket that is nothing of an height. They say its soundbar suitable but not giving much. a lot of soundbars are over 11cm in Height. Good job i never went head and bought it. Thanks beefy

A lot of soundbars will fit, I have a LG SH6 and upgrading to the HS9, they both fit. Think the major problem is centre speakers, my wharfdale obstructed part of the bezel that's one of the reasons I changed from a proper 5.1 set up.

Yea a lot of soundbars but not all. 11cm is not much of an height lift my Dali Kubic one is 16cm in height. unless i just do the bracket by 2 screws instead of the 4 which will lift the bracket bit further up and lifting the TV

Thanks for checking Beefy. That's no good for me either but I might buy the version without the stand and get a separate stand that offers more height (e.g. http://www.theplasmacentre.com/tv-stands-and-av-racks/tv-stands/um401.html).

Yes that's what I did before I brought this stand but as I was swapping to a soundbar gave me more options for the unit.

Had my Glass stand for about 7 or so years, still going strong, no scratches, dents etc. Great build quality.

TJM, You looked around for a tabletop stand im lost to what to look for so many to choose from with all different reviews i don't fncy getting one from the Plasma Centre heard bad things about them lol

beefybarn · 20 Feb 2017 at 23:33

The one I used was a Pro Signal one from the rainforest site I think. Very sturdy stand.

I'm going to pick one of these instead:

http://www.theplasmacentre.com/tv-stands-and-av-racks/tv-stands/elegance-1200-oak.html

The middle shelf has enough space to take a large centre and I won't have to mess about with mounting the TV. The TV might sit a bit low but I prefer that - doesn't dominate the room as much.

I had one of these until recently (wanted a slightly taller, deeper cabinet with doors): http://www.alphasondesigns.com/wood...vision-cabinet-in-walnut-real-wood-veneer.htm

Very good build quality and it was a nice design.

Nice looking unit, the only thing to watch on them is the depth again, 400mm is tight for a receiver.

I have this one http://www.richersounds.com/product/tv-stands/mda/tucana-1200-hybrid/mda-tucana-hyb-blk but in white and its so well made, well worth the money. I looked at the one you listed but did not like the look of the legs on it but still a very solid unit.

Hi, I don't suppose you have any photos of this stand? I'm considering buying one and I'm wondering what it actually looks like.

Digging up this old thread for a related question. I'm considering getting the "Alphason Chromium 1200mm TV Stand in Black" (CRO2-1200CB-BLK) but I currently have an AVR that is rather tall. Can I use this stand safely without the middle shelf installed, or does it look structural?
