Nice! How does the elevated position affect the sound?

The biggest problem is going to be hiding the wires. That would annoy me too much. I think I prefer stands. And also difficult to press the button on the rear if you have to.

Sounds good to me, compared to what I had them on before (Ikea folding chairs :-)), but I imagine that stands would have a better effect on sound - that's not an option in my case, though, due to small children.
Geckos come with a small cable cover and a white cable meant to be used if cables are hidden in the wall. That's for sure the best option, but I will have to wait with that - it's a brick wall and will require a lot of repairs afterwards, if tubes are milled into the wall. It's easy enough to reach and get to the reset button, though.

hehe looks somehow like the eyes of a snail.
But damn, that yellow cable. What were they thinking?

Totally off topic, but that's an intriguingly lowly mounted TV you have there. I have visions of you chilling on bean bags watching a movie!

I would just get some long white Power cables and use those if you can find them. No one will see the missing plastic cover at the back which is purely cosmetic. I would run the right one into the corner and the left behind the cupboard. 2 carefully placed pictures or plain decorative panels would just about hide them

Maybe you could get some branch stands to mount them on and disguise the stands to look like your cactus, the kids won't mess with them then!

Looks cool! If you could hide the cables it would even be better.

I remember a sociological survey in which they found that the lower people place their TV's, the higher their socio-economical status. Lower social class apparently have their TV's placed higher. (Don't know about Phantoms on Geckos btw)
Interestingly, since I know no people who have their TV's placed on the ground, one might wonder what this says about my socio-economical class
