Moved into my new house and finally getting a final(ish) setup on my a/v stuff. My TV mounts above the fireplace and I purchased a 3 shelf wall mount for the audio equipment and cable box etc. Where the tv is mounted, I only have a total of about 8" from the tile frame of the fireplace to the bottom of the tv. I intend to install a floating shelf and that is where the center channel will go.
My problem is that the sound bars I have come across either come with a subwoofer (which I own already), doesn't take speaker level inputs or both. Traditional center channels are too tall ( I have a polk cs10 series 2). I estimate I will have 5-6" height available after mounting a floating shelf/mantle. The lower the better as the deeper and taller the unit is, I risk a chance of the closer seats getting the bottom of the tv cut off.
Budget is $300 on down. Used is fine.
Any help would be appreciated!
