No option of wall mount. I’ve gone without a center for about 2 years now. It’s collecting dust. Phantom sounds good not sure if I’m missing anything.
But last time I brought it up I’m missing my center I got the comment from my dad it was too old of a tv to be worth the risk of bothering to try it. But it’s only having issues because of a Roku and still works fine otherwise.

Sony XBR-55X810C. It’s at a good eye level right now not sure what stands to look into the ones on Amazon don’t tell me if a 7.5- 8” tall center would fit Under them. Possibly larger if needed. Any ideas or suggestions?
If you don't want to actually build anything, you can use a piece of 2x6" or 2x8" for the vertical support, long enough to reach just under the height you need for the TV.
The harder way is to get two pieces of wood that are the same width as above, long enough to reach just lower than the top of the TV, with a 1" strip at each long edge, to create a box, with 2"-3" holes for passing the cables through from bottom to top (or, you can just fasten them to the rear of the vertical support box. Add a 4" strip in the area where this new box would meet the bottom and top shelves, glued and stapled/nailed to the faces. Drill holes for screws into each shelf- I would through-bolt it.
The box will be strong enough for any new TV and it should be OK for a plasma TV up to about 50".
Go to WalMart and buy a tilting TV mount and screw the plate to the box at the height that works for you. I bought a mount with articulating arm on WalMart's site and it was only about $40- I used it to mount a 77" LG TV and it was fine. I think the shipping was free.
