Wall mount the TV. Brackets are cheap enough these days.
Hope you're happy with the new centre.
Thanks. I sure it will be great, dunno where to put it before I get the arrangement sorted. .. It's a lil bigger than I thought lol! Thanks Nick, saw it got picked up today
Dunno about wall mount.. It will put the tv about a foot or more further back and there will be so much unit!
It's a Panasonic gt30 46in
Wouldn't a stand in front the unit look a little off?
Mounting the speaker was one option. Was just worried it would be so high being above the tv?
One thing I looked at.. Similar to wall mount.. Was a tv tabletop stand. I need 18.5cm clearance for the centre! It's huge!

It isn't too big for me just too big for my stand, it looks huge just because I never seen anything like this in another house. I just didn't expect it to be like that! All good though!
I don't think I really like the look of a wall mount without a stand underneath. It's too floaty. Personal preference there, and it will look a lot smaller, I'm only a few feet from the tv so wall mount I guess would add a lot of distance as a percentage.
The centre stands do look nice, but think that's more for if you don'thave a unit .
The shelf option is something I thought about but the speaker is about 10kg.. The box weight was 11kg.
The elevated stand is pricey.. Really pricey.. But may be an option, right now the tv is almost a bit low or just right, but I would need a stand that provides 20cm clearance!
Atm I'm between elevated stand and overhead shelf.

Yes it is too low atm really, it's OK lying on the sofa but sitting not so good.
Unfortunately the unit is one piece with the glass sandwiched between the blocks. In other words.. Non adjustable
some loveloy speakers you have guys
looks like i might have to go with the stand, although looking at the above pic the tv looks nice on the wall but i would have to hide the power and HDMI cable (only 2 cables) it would actually be cheaper too, but my stupid model makes it slightly more difficult as the HDMI cable is on the side of the tv again, my unit is fairly wide, wider than the above i think
the tv is the 46gt30 but the remote is not an issue, i dont even know where it is. I only use it with a HTPC so after the tv is switched on i dont need to use the tvs sensor regularly. Usually keep the tv in THX mode as i like it best
afraid i wont be going for the stand you have for sale, i really like the one i have now, it was too much money just to get rid of and i spent a lot of time looking for something i like
only thing stopping me from wall mount is the cable and tv looking like a 42 instead of a 46 inch
