cs400i + rubber pads

I'll be placing this speaker on top of my pro-jo but I was wondering if I should place the rubber feet on.
I figured to leave them off for better weight distribution.
The pro-jo seems pretty secure for the speaker size but later I'll build a shelf or get a wall unit. Wanna play it safe so the top shelf of the pro-jo doesn't weaken.

I have read a thread at an other forum where folks reported some bending of the top of rear projection TV's cabinets when moderate sized center channel speakers were placed there. Building an adequate shelf as you plan to do is of course the safest solution.
Other approaches reported involved laying thick tempered glass shelving over the top of the RPTV to distribute the weight of the center channel speaker.
Others moved the placement to the rear of the cabinet where there is more internal bracing. (Moving it to the front is thought to be better to avoid reflecting sound off the top of the TV, but many with HDTVs feel it would be more likely to deform the screen and screw-up convergence.)
I have a CS400i on top of my HDTV. I've opted for the lazy approach and I moved it to the rear. Since it sits above ear level, instead of using the rubber feet I've used two large rubber door stops to tilt it down to point at the primary listener's ear level. I haven't noticed any problems so far, but I think that it is wise to periodically check the top of the cabinet for deformation.
I've offen wondered whether the bigger CS1000p would present more of a problem because of its greater weight, or less of a problem because its weight is distributed over a greater surface. Of course now that I think about it, having a 50 pound speaker with two subwoofers built in bouncing on top of my HDTV is probably not a good idea in any event.:rolleyes:

on my 400 i took all 4 small ubber pads and put them in the front of the speaker and i had some left over bigger ones from a set of returned sub i put them in the back it tilts it down tward the listner. i think i might get bigger ones for the rear and if my tv warps i have a 5 year warentee
