well my issue is that I have a 250 watt central speaker under the TV lol

if I can put it really low then... like on the shelf where the XBox is on the picture you posted....we'll see I just wondered.... I will probably move before I get the XB1 so I'm already figuring out what kind of set up i'll need or get.... I will probably upgrade my entire set up (I really want a new TV :D )

Ah, that is a very nice speaker! 

I have a Sony 5.1 sorround system.  I have my center speaker mounted at the top of the TV, and although it makes it a bit grumpy, I put my Kinect on top. I have added a few layers of different materials for sound dampening, and it does mess up my Kinect audio tracking a bit, but not enough, I still use it.   All the time.

Can you mount a shelf on the wall and put your center speaker up there?  Or you Kinect for your Xbox One?

Sort of like this with your speakr or Kinect, or like I do both. (but not ideal to do both.)

no drilling :D it's a rental and I don't plan to stay around here much....

I have a snake bite (I think that's the name) stand for the kinect 1 on top of my TV currently.... and since the central speaker is for voice amplification it is best set up at viewers head level, and it is calibrated that way.... I don't want to have to work weird angles and have sound bounce back from the ground and redo my entire set up..... well I'll have to do it anyway if I move but still it is a pain in the ass lol

but I'd rather keep my sound system coherant, to me a high end sound system is even more important than a good HD TV in terms of immersion.... Since I have my system I advise everybody I know to put more money in the sound system than the TV.... (still advising full HD) but if you want to pick a 3K TV and 1K sound system (speakers, subwoofer, and amplifier) I would adviste you to take a 1.5K TV or smaller and get 2.5K sound system (well room size and usage is also an element and this is just an illustration, you can find good cheaper compromise) but people often forget that a good sound system (treated properly) will still be excellent 20 years  from now... or more... it is a really long term investment just the amp might need to be changed to adapt to new technologies but still....

well anyway I want the kinect on top of the TV it will be the best spot for it for me my sound system and for it to track properly IMO.... I just would like to know in advance if I will be able to put it there out of the box or if I have to plan on buying a satnd at the same time and if there will be any.... or should I have a DIY project planed already to fit it on top of the TV like I did at first with the kinect .....
