Hey guys. My current surround sound setup consists of RT800i's (mains), a CS400i (C), Fx300i's (surrounds), and a PSW 450 (sub). On Friday, I'll be purchasing a 62" Mitsubishi DLP to replace my 36" Sony Wega. I'm excited about the TV, but here's my problem: In order to keep my CS400i, I'm going to have to construct some sort of shelf and mount it over the TV, because the new TV stand's shelves aren't tall enough (about 7" max) for the speaker (about 9" high), and the top of the TV (about 2" deep) certainly won't support it. As an alternative, I've thought about purchasing an RM7302 center channel (small, sleek, and can be pointed upward) to place below the TV, but I'm not sure how well it will blend with my other speakers. Replacing all the speakers is not really an option at this point because of the money I'll be shelling out for the TV. Any experience or opinions regarding pairing the RT's with the RM center? I think I probably know the answer, but I figured I'd come to the forum for validation. Thanks!

    Forget it. Just do the shelf thing or get a center channel speaker stand.
