I have just ordered a Stage and am thinking about the positioning.

I have my TV wall mounted fairly low on the wall (top of the TV is eye line when seated ~110cm)  and positioning the Stage above the TV will put it closer in line with my ears than below the TV.

However, given that the Stage has upward firing tweeters is this a concern?

I'm worried that mounting it under the TV will make it too low.

Any thoughts on this? Has anyone mounted their Stage above the TV?

I must admit rhat the tv is rather low mounted - however, I would still think that the best position will be below the tv.

Have you considered placing the Stage on a board below the tv - it might look better?

There is a tv - and there is a BV

I don’t see why it wouldn’t be fine regular side up above your tv if it’s more or less ear level. Unless it’s a lot higher than ear level, then i would either lay it flat or put it below it anyway.

I picked up the Stage today and have just placed it horizontally to get it set up. It sounds good so far - different to the other setup but good, definitely more low end!

I’ll hopefully get it wall mounted this weekend so have till then to decide whether it’s top or bottom.

mine is about 50cm above the floor and clearly below my ears. soon it will not hang wrong either. I had it on the side board first, but I find it better in terms of appearance and sound.

Well sad to say that after living with the Stage for a while I've decided to return it.

I found the sound far too boomy for my ears and also the stereo separation was too much of a compromise compared to my existing setup. Funnily enough I found the best sound to be when it was positioned against the wall but set to table mode in the settings.

In the end though I found the sound of my 30 year old B&O to be more pleasing to my ears than the Stage and so couldn't justify the money I'd spent on it.

Maybe I should go for the Beolab 3 instead?

Off topic: but why would you want the stage soundbar AND beolab 18?

the setup is not used in combination. i am someone who likes to listen to music with relaxation. I like to sit down and listen to music for 2-3 hours. The stage is not enough for me. the product as a soundbar in conjunction with the LG C9, but makes it unbeatable as a setup. Compared to the competition, the stage is a very good product. Of course, a beovison and then a setup would be nicer. The idea was that I put together a 5.1 setup with the C9 and the WiSA Stick. with the stage, diss has been superfluous for the time being.
