Following on from my other thread we're in the process of designing alcove cabinets for our front room. Hoping the end result will be something like this with the TV eventually wall mounted on the right;

So I'll say goodbye to my trusty Besta cabinet and floorstanding Gale speakers which have served me well :( It's currently up for debate if I'll be keeping the Panasonic GT60.. seems a shame for it to go.

The size of our room is not all that different from how that pic^ looks, so unfortunately I am going to have to look at soundbars. Possibly with a small sub, and maybe if I can persuade my girlfriend a set of rear speakers as well. All to go with the Marantz SR5012. I'd say budget is flexible right now, less if the TV is going to be replaced. Maybe £700 at a guess.

But my question is really, am I going to be able to mount a soundbar to the bottom of the TV so it moves and stays in line with the TV? :confused: It'd suck to have it sat on the unit, as the TV is always going to be at an angle given where we sit central in the room. Is it possible with the GT60? How do I figure it out? :confused:
 
Bumping this thread to check some basics. How flush can you mount soundbars underneath the TV? I’m leaning towards the Panasonic LZ1500 which is 605mm tall. Most soundbars seem to be 50-60mm tall so that’s 660mm total if I can mount them nicely on an arm relatively flush. Is that doable?

Reason is - on the carpenters current drawings we have an alcove gap of 800mm high (from top of cabinet to bottom of lowest shelf) to fit them in.

The cabinet is already only 600mm off the floor which is quite low for a cabinet, and we don’t want to raise the bottom shelf too much higher because it’ll start to look very odd on the left alcove - that won’t have the tv in.
 
try this mount https://www.vonhaus.com/vh_en/sound...62fzi2ci4BVJ1N__j7R8TtMijV7ft_XoaAiAHEALw_wcB But you can't expect better sound than floor standing speakers.
Thanks. Looks to be fairly flexible on how close you can put the soundbar to the TV. I just can't tell if these brackets have particular holes that are, say, 5cm apart, which might mean the soundbar sits 10cm away from the TV for example. Oh well, we've signed off on the height of the first shelf so fingers crossed I can make it work :o
only 9 speakers?
lol perfect. Let me just run that past my other half :D
 
May be you can check some online videos or buy one and return it if it doesn't suite your work.
Yeah I've finally had some time to check out videos online. I think they're flexible enough. But if they're not, that won't help me after my carpenter has fitted the alcove cabinet and shelves above to the wall :p
