Back on track... more basics questions

If you do decide to go up top with your CC, I picked up a set of these for $20 and was able to get a sweet angle toward the SS, plus they look very nice too. Nothing else would work and my CC would keep slowing sliding foward

I believe they also can be used to angle upward also.

Well, I decided after some convincing here to keep the CC below the TV and it's now pointed upwards about 10" from the floor, propped up and out from under the top surface of the stand by a couple of shims. The bad thing is the speaker could fall off the shims at any time. I can't tell from the pictures of the MoPADS how they work. In the "Pros" column, it says they have variable pitch, which tells me they will be able to point the speaker, hopefully upwards. But they need to also provide stability due to the fact that the speaker will need to sit pretty far out off the vertically adjustable shelf it's sitting on. They have an expensive price tag IMO, but if they can accomplish this, I'd be willing to bite the bullet. Thoughts?

If your using these for your CC you only need 1 set (2 pads) for 19.99. I purchased mine from here. The angle can be adjusted by using a second piece of foam that is used with each pad to acheive a higher angle. I assume the pads are mainly used for angleing downward, but I don't see any reason why they couldn't be used in reverse. My C-C3 is pretty big and would always slip foward no matter what I tried to angle it with because I needed such a steep angle. These worked perfect and they look nice. If your trying to install in a tight spot, be careful because the raise your CC 1.25" as stated in the review. Here's a side view pic.

What i did was buy a soft rubber ball of the proper size,cut it in half and use the halfs to prop up my center.The speaker is heavy so it compresses the rubber and sticks in place.
Cost about 3 bucks and 15 minutes time.
