Front stage placement building syands and media shelf

[1984ericfx]

Ok so I'm getting ready to build some speakers stands and an under the tv media stand

Right now the current plan is this



Audio equipment Wood Flooring Floor Electronic device

I would be using 1" black gas pipe

The other option that I've considered is making the media shelf. The full width of the television and
Making an open area under the stands that would allow me to place the subweer, either in the left corner or on the right side under the Paradigm Titan v6 bookshelf speakers.

A friend of mine had suggested making an open space under the media stand which allow me to have the full length of the television uptop, but still fit the subwoofer, underneath

the problem with this is, it would have to be about 26 inches tall In order for that to work... currently, the t v is setting at about four feet in the air, and I would like to lower it by at least 18 inches and I still need to be able to clear the Paradigm cc-290 v5 ceneter channel

obviously the picture I'm showing you is an AI generated picture but it seems to have got the dimensions fairly close.

Have you considered hanging the speakers on the wall? The center especially should be away from the turntable. Then the sub could be in the corner and the shelf for gear centered to the TV. A media shelf to the right by the door.

It is something I've considered. Yes, the wall could be an option. But I hadn't originally planned to. Mount anything on the wall and they're fairly heavy, though I do have speaker mounts, that would work for that

While they are front ported, they're also rear ported, so they'd have to hang out at least a few inches, at least

I'm getting closer on the final design. The tabletop will be eighteen inches deep, by sixty three inches wide, which should fit nicely under the seventy five inch TV...

The legs underneath we'll be somewhere between 22 and 24 inches tall. Let's look at the center channel up reasonably high. Although it will still require a little bit of upward angle... it will also allow me to bring the tv down a bit, which will put the bottom third directly in my resting view... still, a little higher than I would like, but much more natural feeling then being at forty eight inches at the bottom

It will be large enough that the subwoofer will fit underneath as well.

the big thing i'm having trouble deciding is if the two shelves underneath should be separate from the main media table so that it kind of nests underneath... this option would work pretty well. I think as it would simplify the build but would also give me the ability to move the bottom shelves and the subwoofer without having to
Use any tools

or the other option, since nothing particularly heavy, will be there is that it could be screwed to the bottom of the tabletop, allowing the two shelves to just hang from the tabletop... this is still fairly simple. And would have a really neat look, as it would look like the bottom shelves were just sort of floating

The final option is to center the middle legs, and use the right and center legs as support for the bottom shelves... this would probably be, the more complicated design but would definitely have a neater look overall
