Center Channel - Above or Below??

[thxgoon]

When building a home theater with a giant screen, what is the preferred placement for the center channel? Above or below the screen?

Any members have real experience with both?

I would say below because you want the front speakers as close to being on the same plane as possible. So unless your front speakers' tweeters are way up near the ceiling, below the screen is better.

I read that above or below is fine

If you're building your HT and can use a transparent screen you can place it behind the screen ... That's better, I read somewhere
