Advice for mounting a TT shelf on a wall

Mount it away from the corners of the room.

The main consideration is to put it on a load bearing wall. 

Absolutely agree. Load bearing walls either have footings to ground directly underneath or concrete pad at ground level underneath.

Loading bearing walls do not move with the floor. Non load bearing wall move with the floor.

Location wise avoid corners and alcoves where you can get bass reinforcement.

Mount it at a correct HEIGHT so your back dosent go out or your on tip toes. Mount on a short door less wall if possible.

Thanks for the posts guys, it points me in the right direction. Fortunately, I will be mounting it on a load bearing wall. Am I correct in assuming that half way up the wall may be another room node? I know to keep away from corners and other electronics. Want to get it as right as I can the first time.

 Matt, I misread your post and had to laugh. I read, mount it on a short door.  To each their own. Fortunately no one recommended a ceiling mount.

A load bearing 'outer wall'.

Preferably with no doors opening

and shutting into a door frame or

stairs attached to that wall.

Hit both studs dead center and

If your handy enough open a horizontal

slot between both studs and brace the

two studs together then use that

as a third spot to attach shelf. The

shelf itself will hide most of your drywall

repairs in any event. No corners as your 

aware.
