[QUOTE="User121314, post: 1098832, member: 16824"] With a similar scenario to yours I've tried both compromised centre (below the TV) and phantom. Compromise is better, in my experience. I angled the centre up slightly & used the AVR individual channel adjustment to increase the volume for the centre to compensate for what got "lost" from being too low & behind the coffee table. Phantom is never great, as depending on where you are seated (left seat or right seat of the 2 seater couch) you hear more dialogue from the respective channel, and actually sometimes miss dialogue from the other channel (like when the dialogue is a whisper from the opposite side). That said, we watch very little TV/Movies etc., so it's not that much of an issue & we live with the compromise. [/QUOTE]
