Perhaps this is an easy question with an obvious product solution but I can't locate it.
i'm looking for a solution for mounting a B&W LCR600 in conjunction with an articulating LED mount. It presents an interesting challenge due to its size and weight.
I'm looking for either a standalone articulating mount that can go below or above the TV or for a tandem bracket assembly that can perhaps bolt onto the LED mount whether by VESA or ?
Dimensions/Weight 8"h x 21.5"w x 12.2"d and 27.5 lbs.
Thanks in advance!

what about using a speaker that is actually designed to be mounted under a TV? It would look 100% better and might even sound better, depending on the solution choosen. A few come to mind. TruAudio, Leon, Artison, James and probably a few others that I'm not thinking of.

Sanus makes 3 models that attach to select mounts. [Link: sanus.com]I've used one before and it worked very well. Craig

Nezbo had a custom mount made at a local fab shop [Link: remotecentral.com]

I use the Sanus VMAA26 with the VMCC-1 to mount Triad speaker bars all the time.

hes talking about a BIG box style center channel. nothing you guys have referenced is designed for what he has.
OP, see if you can get an FPM 5 or 6 from BW. It sounds as good and can definitely be mounted under a TV. I would probably go custom with a bracket to hang it on a swing arm TV bracket because of the weight. i havent used any center channel/sound bar adapter from any manufacturer that didnt sag a little. for the smaller stuff, they work fine, for the heavier stuff or big offsets i go custom

I agree with Edizzle and Ichbinbose. Whatever you do that speaker is not going to look good under the TV. The scenario that Nezbo pulled off was at least a speaker that matched the finish of the TV, and is about 1/3 of the bulk of the B&W piece.
Depending on the TV you're using, that speaker is only 8-10lbs lighter. I personally don't think there's anyway to make this scenario look anywhere close to "good" because of the sheer bulk of the speaker.
This is the reason soundbars were invented. If you want to stick with separates, the FPM is a good choice, you could also look at the Monitor Audio Shadows

I would want to keep my front timbre matched, plus I would go with the B&W. Atlantic makes this...it's a start and you would have to do some fabrication to secure it if the tv will be moved often   but if you want the speaker to articulate on its own, use a regular bracket and fabricate a plate for the back of your speaker. I say fabricate a lot because obviously this speaker isn't meant for this so you will have to make your own

Here is my recommendation [Link: onecall.com]That wont work...first off this is a decently deep center and those brackets are flush with the tv, so the speaker will stick out far from the tv. Second it has enough weight to it that I wouldn't trust that.

Not to mention actually attaching it to the back of the speaker. You just gonna throw some drywall screws through the backbox? No, sir. That won't work.

Thanks for all of the feedback. Yeah, it looks like it won't work at all with the current equipment.

Thanks in advance! I think this is way to big to mount to a tv. I would recommend Phase tech sound bar. It is a true left center right but I like to wire everything to be a center only and it seems to mount pretty well and sounds good. If you are going for a big look or trying to match size of tv, I would look into it. In the future We use these mounts [Link: zuummedia.com]If this bracket won't work, I have one made from fabricator.

chief mfg thinstall series has L&R brackets as well as a matching center/lcr bracket for below the display...or if you come off the wall you could use a center stage speaker bracket...but I would not use that if you are going to move the display...
