How do you tilt the center of a channel?
One way to achieve this tilt is by adding longer feet to the front of the stand instead of adding equal-length feet to both the front and back; this will provide a small amount of tilt to the center speaker. Another way to tilt the speaker is by adding a piece of foam to the front part of the stand’s top.

How tall is the center channel on an AV table?
Will lower the volume on L/R speakers, see if any improvement. L/R Speakers are about 15cm from rear wall, toe’d slightly, and about 2.5 mtrs from side walls. Centre is about 20cm from rear wall at chest height when sitting, on a solid AV table with 12mm balsa struts under the speaker to raise of table slightly.
