I only have room on a low shelf, approximately 3 inches above the floor. Will the sound quality be seriously impacted at this low height?

I would ask 'What is the size of the room?'. I have mine with my 60 inch wide screen siting on top in an open living room. The volume is still good. In my opinion the height should not be as much a factor as the size of the room you are using.

I believe you would have no problem with it being so low.Its a big improvement from the TV speakers,especialy at its low price.Im very satisfied with the ZVOX.

I don't think so, all speakers but the bass feed from the front. The bass feeds out the bottom, but works fine on a solid shelf (mine is on one).

I believe this device needs to be positioned as close to the listeners seating level as possible to be appreciated. The front speakers should roughly be in the same plane as the listener's ears. Don't think you are likely to be satisfied with a floor location. Check the return policy. If you don't like it you may be able to return within 30 days for refund, but you also may have to pay return shipping.

I have mine on a connecting shelf above the T.V. and it works fine that way. I don't have great surround sound out of it because of the shape of my room, but the sound quality and sound dynamics are well above anything else that I have had.

I personally have mine a few inches below my LED T.V. And it does not effect the audio quality at all. I wouldn't reccomend putting it in an enclosure though.

My TV is a 26" Sony. While the sound bar is considerably wider, 37 inches, it pretty much depends where you intend to put it. I have mine on a shelf above the TV and it works just fine. Or you could put it on a lower shelf or even on the floor. The sound bar has a very nice sound and I can't imagine the need to purchase a more expensive model.

Mine is open, so I can't comment on the sound quality from inside the cabinet. But this is an excellent sub

Unfortunately you need a minimum of 4.25" of depth. Have you checked the JL audio shallow mounts?

I have small speakers (about 3.5 inch diameter footprint) and they fit behind, subwofer on the ledge below.

Actually, from what I've gotten out of mine so far it almost sounds better in medium sized rooms. The speaker size and shape directs the sound in a fairly linear way, and doesn't spread very well at short distances, but if you're more than about 5 feet away from them, you should be fine.

I wouldn't suggest this for a small room it takes up quite a bit of space. I bought this for my son for Christmas and we sent it back we were both very disappointed with the quality and sound of this item. I'm my opinion save your money . Go to a local place and check them out for yourself .

I have mine on top of old speakers about 18" from the floor. The sound is fantastic

Yes and no. There are leg "extenders" which increase the height of the unit. They were in place when my unit was received. If they are removed, the bottom of the unit sits about ' above whatever surface it is placed upon. Also, there are two down-firing subwoofers in the bottom of this unit, so placing it flat on top of anything would (my opinion) attenuate the bass severely.

You would have to have the sound volume at a painfully high level to you for the sound to be bothersome to anyone sitting next to you. I find that the ambient noise around my cube drowns out any of the sound leakage coming out of my SR850.

I have mine mounted to the wall just under my tv. Maybe a few inches at most. Works and sounds great as a center speaker.

The speakers will not be the same. even with the volume on high it will be very faint.

As a soundbar junkie I have owned them all and tried every mounting position that can be done,,,, my feelings are that soundbars almost always sound better mounted above a TV/display. 52" above floor level is not that high at all,,,,, I was experimenting with my Sony CT-100, Sony CT-500 and my Vizio Soundbar w/wireless sub and found one of the BEST spots for mounting was 7' from the floor, at 7' high the sound has nothing to block the reflective sound coming from the soundbar such as curtains, paintings on the wall and such. Each room is different though, but for me the higher I place my soundbars the better they sounded. Cheers Davyo

You could turn the volume way up if needed. I play mine at a low to medium volume so I think you would be just fine. Hope this may help you out. LRE

None what so ever, I have mine in the basement under the kitchen in a joist cavity and no issues. You can always place a layer of bat insulation in the cavity to prevent further. There is not much bass generation mostly directional surround of mid's and tweets.
