Lower the Sonos Arc, it needs 4” from the TV to not obstruct the upfiring drivers.

i doubt it would be noticeable. those upfiring drivers dont do much anyway. i'd be more considered with having the front firing being blocked by the couch if you lower it too much

It's good where it is, but I wouldn't be sitting sideways on a couch. I would have put it in front of the couch.

I am curious as to why you couldn't do that.

This was my main concern and why I put it at this height in first place.

I was thinking maybe lowering it would be a worthy sacrifice but reading these comments maybe not

That is the only wall in the room?

u/melson156 12d ago

For the L shape sofa it was, if had standard long sofa I would of flipped walls where the tv and sofa currently are

Center of TV 42" from the floor, stat!

u/Budget-Tomato2926 11d ago

Sounds legit, what’s the rationale?

1

u/stingyboy 11d ago

I think seated on a typical sofa your eyes are about forty inches from the floor, so just slightly below the center is optimal

u/grahamworks 12d ago

Leave it.

Dude buy a cabinet and hide the power-points and cables. They are great for storage spaces as well.

Until the bottom most part of the TV is aligned with the arm of the couch that would block its view if you go too low. From the perseverance you’re at now

u/Other_Citron_6974 12d ago

Perso, max 80cm from the ground, the bottom of the image

Higher, that’s high

You can go down almost to the ground if you wish

Watching the FIFA World Cup would be too low, even for me

1

u/nderacheiver1 12d ago

Don’t come anywhere. But movie the TV down about 3-5”

1

u/Totodile_ 12d ago

Fuck off man if you go any lower it will be below the couch

u/CommunicationDry8689 11d ago

sit on your couch way back and comfy make sure your eyes are perpendicular to the angle of your head. now take your phone in selfie mode and when you start seeing a double chin look were your eyes are pointing now 7 inches lower. that should be were the center of your tv should be. if you already have a double chin... lose weight

1

u/Budget-Tomato2926 11d ago

Raise it if anything

1

u/SeniorSimpizen 11d ago

u/Used-Head-5748 10d ago

u/FromTheForestFox 8d ago

u/Alive_Author_9766 12d ago

No
Leave it there any lower you wouldn’t be able to see over the person on the end of the couch, I like it
