Need some help finding a TV stand.

Hedge · 7 Jul 2017 at 19:57

I'm awaiting delivery of a large 58' TV next week but I'm struggling to work out how to mount it.

I have Dali Zensor floor standers and a centre speaker but due to the size of this new TV my current stand is too high at 53cm.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a lower stand that still accommodates a centre speaker yet also caters for a TV with wide feet. (1180mm)?

Any input appreciated.

I'm also wondering if it's possible to mount a centre speaker above a TV. Maybe via some kind of bracket attached to the vesa mounting points?

Thanks I'll have a look.

Centre speakers are quite annoying when it comes to TV stands.

They tend to make the stands too tall or never seem to fit my speaker in them.

Immediately made me think of the Spinal Tap Stonehenge scene...

use a large center speaker myself (Celestion A4C) and use the height adjustable shelf for it, then TV is height adjustable as well.

I've got the older version it's supported by a single strut on the shelf, looks like they've improved the new ones

My new TV is gonna be 58 inch. Do you think it will look high on a stand like that? I'll definitely consider that style. Thanks

Don't know about that, I use 50" Pioneer plasma, it's slid into the middle of the three round the back for TV height. 19" from floor to bottom of actual screen, and 44" from floor to top of actual screen

Thanks for that input. Appreciate the effort.

Food for thought. Will get my tape measure out!

I use the Same stand from off the wall perfect for our 48" Samsung and the Dali kubic one looks smart underneath its dear for what it is though

After a lot of searching for a stand that could accommodate my centre speaker and several devices, I settled on this: https://m.richersounds.com/#!/product/TTAP-ELEGANCE-1200

It's a good stand but 58" would stick over the sides a bit.

I like the off the wall, as the subwoofer fits under the TV, can move TV and center shelf up and down, and got DVD and freesat box in the stand. can't do that with your unit. Got a a tower hifi racking for BD, switch box, av pre-amp, and the large power amplifiers on the side wall as well.

Plus your unit is not big enough for all my gear, so I'd need another racking.

In the end I've decided to opt for TECHLINK EL140DOSG which I bought for £110. It will fit nicely in bay window and should house centre speaker without the shelf fitted.

I'm going to move my AV Receiver to my alcove and then just keep minimal stuff by the TV.

Hopefully it ends up looking okay.
