My fiancee and I have been searching for a new tv stand for far too long. There’s this sorta mid-century modern sofa we’ve been eyeing because A) I like mid-century modern stuff and B) the wood back will be less appealing for our cats to scratch. Finding a tv stand to match has been challenging .
This is the sofa we’re planning to get:
I think the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! goes pretty damn nicely with this sofa if I do say so myself.
Right now, I have a couple of 18 year-old Infinity Reference bookshelf speakers hooked up to a 7 year-old Onkyo stereo (not surround) receiver. I’ve never been a huge surround sound fan and haven’t felt compelled to add a subwoofer, especially since we live in a townhouse with thin walls and recently !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! to the landlord for refusing to turn down their subwoofer.
But, with more and more tv shows and movies having surround audio tracks, and my stereo receiver, it’s becoming common that dialogue gets lost in the mix. We have to turn the volume up too high to hear the dialogue and then end up with blasting sound effects or music. I adjust the volume a whole bunch throughout the course of a movie.
I know that getting a surround receiver and a center channel speaker would fix this, but we have a ratty old Sauder tv stand that my fiancee bought before we moved in that has cabinets in the middle and nowhere to put a center channel speaker.
Anyway, we ordered the tv stand, and another thing I ordered is this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! because my fiancee likes to swivel the tv and right now we just kinda pick it up and swivel it on top of the stand, and I discovered that there are these optional !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .
I sent my fiancee a much-less-detailed email about this today while we were at work:
To go with the swivel tv base, I can also change the stereo to add a little speaker hanging from the tv. This speaker would be a little bit bigger than the sound bar upstairs, and hang from the bottom of the tv so it’ll swivel with the tv, and it’ll make the dialogue much clearer. A bonus will be we can hook our phones/tablets up to the stereo over bluetooth instead of having to plug in. Interested?
The response:
Cool!
Well, that was easy.
I’m going to get a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , wall-mountable (i.e. compatible with the sound bar mount) !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , and the mount. Fun.

Thanks, I originally found it here on Overstock but it’s been out of stock there. It’s sold in separate pieces in a few places including at Wayfair. Here are the corner , center , and ottoman .

I have a Yamaha (RX-V679) and Definitive Pro Cinema 600, and the combo is AWESOME. Be careful, though, if you run a Samsung TV and use ARC and the HDMI voodoo...it doesn’t play nice all of the time (it is the fault of the Samsung TV)...

I have a Vizio tv and now that you mention it, I was planning to run ARC for antenna tv since we are an antenna+streaming household. But I use a Roku 4 for streaming, not the built-in Vizio apps. Worst case scenario I run an optical cable from the tv back to the receiver. Hell, right now I’ve got RCA cables running from my tv to the 2-channel stereo Onkyo receiver.

Awesome setup! I have an old Vizio 42" TV (next big electronics upgrade after we move will be new TV) with a Yamaha RX-V671 and Klipsche 5.1 setup and its AMAZING! Of course I have it jammed in a tiny little apartment so I have to keep the receiver set at like -40 dB so I don’t blow my neighbors out, but I can’t wait to get it in the house. I think for your townhouse, your setup is going to be perfect!
