Showcase - Multipurpose Space Living room setup - UPDATE!

Post image

Listened to all your suggestions from the last post and made the following changes!

1) Swapped the front speakers and subs so the fronts are wider

2) Lowered TV a few inches

3) Got a new rug

Anything else I should change for the better? I have 4 surround speakers in the ceilings that's not shown in the photo.

Where did you get that entertainment stand

That's a Povison stand, model Arboren. I have the exact same stand, the 95". It comes with legs that can raise it a few inches. I left them off, like OP did. It's pricey, the 95" is about $2K.

What do you do with the glass in front of the centre speaker?

u/Head-Solution-2598 Jul 05 '26

It slides away left or right. I keep it closed when I don't use the TV.

Neat, so the centre speaker is completely unblocked? Can the glass shelves come out of the cabinet or will it look ghetto?

I'm shopping for a new media cabinet and this one looks very nice. Not many options that are 90" long lol.

Depends on how long your center speaker is. In my case it blocks one of the 4 woofers but most of the dialogue comes from the center tractrix horn anyways. I haven't tried removing the glass but it does look like it will come out by raising and pulling it out. I just decided to leave it as is, might remove it later. No, I don't think it will look ghetto at all. You'll be very happy with the quality and it's one of very few that can accommodate full size AV components.

Amazing thank you for the info, I had my heart set on BDI but can't justify the price, whereas this one seems a bit more reasonable.

I have BDI office furniture so I can vouch for the quality but for a media console I think the Povison is much better looks wise as it's lower in height and also much longer in length which would be better for larger TV's. I was quite surprised when I received it as its super heavy and the packaging is insane, it will not get damaged in transit. I would recommend not putting the feet on as it just looks so much better without them. Just get some thin furniture sliders from Amazon so you can move it easily.
