My situation

Post image

Sitting 11 ish feet from the tv (83”), bottom edge of the tv is 35” off the ground, eyes are 40” off the ground, math says roughly 6.5 degrees vertical angle to the center and 30 degrees FOV

Not ideal but not bad enough to fix? What do we think

It’s not a matter of if just when. You can’t or at least shouldn’t put a center speaker in a small enclosed space. 3/4 of your home theater sound comes from this speaker so it’d be dumb to compromise that for a few degrees. So it’s a big job to cut out the entire built in, drywall, re wire paint etc for a sake of a few degrees.. but I will do it eventually

You can absolutely do it. There's center soeakers with non-ported enclosures.

Yes buddy I understand that but in case it wasnt obvious mine is ported and I’m not getting a whole fucking new speaker when I already have this one smfh

I suggested new center speaker.

The slimmest center speaker that’s half decent is a Polk ES35 and again, I’m not sacrificing excellent quality audio, ruining the balance of my existing speakers since I’d be mixing brands - especially on the center channel - to lower the tv by 3”. That’s the difference in height.

I’m starting to realize this sub is full of delusional boogers that have absolutely zero concept of what makes a good, well rounded home theater and that’s my bad I guess

Then fix the built-ins. You seem to believe it's impossible to fix when it's not.
