How Do You Tilt Your Center?

[herbu]

My Center speaker is placed above the TV. The bottom horizontal surface is curved, and it came with some rubber cradles on which the speaker sits. You can adjust the positioning somewhat to angle the speaker up or down a bit.

I have it angled down as much as I can, and it's OK. But I'm getting a new Center. The new one has a flat and squared bottom. For those of you that also have a squared Center mounted above the TV, what do you use to angle it down? Maybe the best idea I've heard is those old timey rubber wedge door stoppers. Is there something better?

Just reading that title reminds me of how much this forum has perverted my thinking.

Anyway, I use some rubber stoppers that I had around. They were the right size to get me the angle that I wanted, so I didn't have to go buy anything else. You can adjust the angle by moving the distance between the stoppers and the edge of your center. Because yours would be placed in the back where you probably won't see them, door stoppers might be a great choice.

I bought similar product as Auralex MoPad from china and it works well with my center. Not sure how it would work with your center tho.

Hmmm... are you sure it's not the other way around?

I agree with the Mopad suggestion because they have the built in stop. IMO, I wouldn't want to angle it down unless I was adding a little stop to the shelf.

You could also get these and stick two on the back.

I just screwed two door wedges to the bottom of my center.
