Song Center size

Don't see it on the website(or completely missed it).  Can someone give me the size?  I am thinking I will have to lift the TV a half inch or two to fit under it, just need to know how much higher.

Thanks in advance.

No you didn't miss it.
 
Jim, while I am complimenting your website in another thread, there is only a Specifications page for the SongTower QWT, but none for SongCenter, SongSurround or SongSub!

Steve -

You are correct.  Actually, there are quite a few things I would like to add to the web site, but there are only so many hours in the day.  I am trying to add a little every day now and that is one of the things on my list.

Thanks,

- Jim

OK, I have a SongCenter on order and took a close look at these specs and saw the 4 ohm nominal impedance. I am going to drive the center and surrounds with a Pioneer VSX-21 rated at 110W/channel at 8 ohms. Now the surrounds I have are 8 ohms, the SongCenter is 4 ohms, but the VSX-21 only has a single speaker setting at either 8 ohms or 6 ohms. This setting is not on a per speaker basis. That leaves me a little mystified as to how to configure the VSX-21 - 8 or 6 ohms. Can someone please shed some light on this? Thanks!

Normally receivers that have a speaker impedance switch employ it as a current limiter so that the receiver will not overheat if the impedance gets too low.  However, dynamic range can be reduced with this current limiting in effect (6 Ohm position).
 
I usually recommend (and especially since you are using the receiver only to drive the 4 Ohm center and a pair of 8 Ohm surrounds) that the switch be left on the 8 Ohm setting, and that you monitor the heat produced by the receiver.
 
If it doesn't feel like it's running too hot, leave it at the 8 Ohm position, but if it seems like it is running too hot, switch it to the 6 Ohm position to reduce the possibility of overheating.

Steve - thanks, man - sounds perfectly reasonable.
