TV Console?

I picked up a pair of RTI A7s and a CSI A6 and they should great. The only issue is that my current TV console doesn't have space for the beefy CSI A6 speaker. Any suggestions for a nice wood TV console that can comfortably hold the CSI A6? I'd prefer something that has a dedicated spot for a center channel. Thanks.

    Do some web research, I'm sure you can find something.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    I'm a fan, and future owner of Salamander. I found there was nothing local (i.e. furniture stores) that had anything more than a couple inches for a soundbar center.

    I'd recommend checking out Salamander, if not more than just to give you an idea of what you're really looking for in a setup. They are pricey, so it might not be your first choice - but I've researched and found them to be the most versatile.

    Standout Designs, real wood and large center speaker space. Not cheap though.

    Do it the old way and build one to your own specs or hire a finish carpenter to build it for you. Either way it will be better and cheaper than overpriced home theatre console.

    I found mine at Costco. The manufacturer is Bayside furnishings. The model is Marino 66" TV console w/swinging floater. It holds my CS2 pretty easy and since it's off to the side, I just angle it a bit. It hides behind the fabric door and sounds very clear, no muffling.

    Heres a look;

    My TV sits on top of the center with a large piece of felt between them, works perfectly.

    I have a Standoutdesign console, N702 Plus now called the XL, in cinnamon and like it very much. With the back extension, for the amp, it fits all the equipment in my signature with a little room to spare. To me it looks like nice furniture as opposed to just a TV console.
