5:1 Sound Bar Placement Dilemma

Posted by Craig S on April 20, 2013 at 05:52:19:
I Know Sound Bar Spkrs are supposed to be as Ear-Level as possible.
Our entertainment center is 42 in. wide (inside) and the new Visio 5:1 Sound Bar I want is 42.32 in. Wide.
The Top of the Ent Ctr is 38 in. Above the shelf the TV is on. (Wireless Sub has 2 Spkrs wireline-attached for rear room area.)
Recent CES Best Product is WHY I hate to pass on it over 1/3 inch.

Any experience/opinions on How "damaged" the Sound would be to Angle the Sound Bar Down from Top of Ent Ctr (38 in. above TV base) since it will sit cock-eyed if mounted inside the TV area?
