Need riser to raise TV due to CS2 size!

disco_al

I recently purchased the Polk CS2 as my center speaker for a 5.1 surround setup, and it is so tall that it obstructs the bottom of my TV (SAMSUNG LN52A630).

I cannot mount the TV to the wall, so what i need to do is to raise the TV up. The ideal solution will be some kind of riser that i can fit the CS2 inside, and the TV on top of.

The CS2 speaker dimensions are: 7-3/4" H x 21-1/4" W x 11-1/8" D
The base of the TVs dimensions are: 24.4 W x 11.5 D
The TV weighs 69.4 pounds.

I know that a riser can be homemade, which i can't do myself but might be able to have someone do for me. I'd prefer not to rely on somebody else though, and so i was wondering if anybody has been able to find something either online or in-store that has worked for them? Or if anybody has something for sale or can make one?

I found one website offering a solution but it would cost over $100.

I believe to make it myself would cost about $30, so if i can find something already made for about $50 then it would be worth it.

I found this for $42 but don't really need the swivel function!

Please let me know your suggestions. There must be many CS2 owners out there who have had to do similar things!
Thanks in advance for the time and help.

Yeah that's not bad. No reviews but $60 before shipping. Thanks very much for the link.
Anybody else have any suggestions?

I was in a similar predicament a few months back, and searched high and low. Ended up finding a solution from Good Will.

I used to own that Sanus stand w/ one of the added shelves as shown. It's not intended as a standalone shelf, but it will work just fine.
