Thanks po, the rack is built-in, para nakatago most of the wires, I designed it using the dimensions of my old LCD, DVD and Samsung HT. kaya nung nagpalit ako ng Onkyo muntik nang hindi magkasya sa height. Thanks po ulit :)

You don't have to relocate the center speaker. Just find a way to tilt it so that it points towards ear level.

Thank you streetsmart, I just have to find a way to securely tilt it.

What you guys think if I interchange the Center Speaker with my DVD and Popcorn Hour? TIA

That's a good idea. It's easier to tilt a speaker upwards rather than downwards.

Or you can use Auralex MoPads.
Check it out in the threads here by Mike C of SVS.

I use them on my RTi A3 and A6's to isolate vibration transfer to shelves and for tilting.
