TV Stand Suggestions - need to fit CS400i

ahorvitz

I haven't posted in a while, but I've been lurking... occasionally.

I just upgraded from a RPTV to a DLP TV. I need a TV stand. While there's a lot of info out there, I'm having difficulty finding one with the right dimensions and/or adjustments.

My preference is for a 3 shelf (3rd = TV on top) something sliver / glass, black / glass, or just plain black, but I may be flexible there. The new TV is 61" and I've got a bit of gear that I'd like to get into this stand - center + 5 components. I'm game for a 60"+ lowboy, or something of the sort.

Requirement - my center channel is a CS400i (8.625" tall). I can't seem to find a stand that has enough room available on the upper shelf for the speaker.

Any suggestions?


Thanks.

Have you thought about mounting the center on top of your TV? I used one like this (mine was black) and it worked really well.

I hadn't thought of doing this, given the size of the speaker. But this says it'll hold 30 lbs. I'll look into it.

I'd still love to hear any suggestions on stands.

You could build one custom for yourself... If you want

I use one of these.

Search around though. They're available in different widths and with rods for larger or smaller shelves.

The model I have allows the center rod under the TV to be installed a few inches back, allowing room for a center channel. I don't know if it's deep enough for yours though, but the height is right.

I built a custom shelf. Total cost was like 20 bucks for two brackets and I had an extra shelf lying around. I painted it black and cut out a notch in the back for the speaker wire to run through. It's was real easy to do! You can see pics in my signature

I used the mount that McLoki linked to, to hold my CS400 and it worked great. I used it on a Sony Wega tube tv though. With the small depth of TV's these days I would make sure that this would work for you first. What TV model do you have?

WHen I used the mount, I used it with a Hitachi LCD (slim) rear projection. When I got my new plasma, it didn't work anymore and it was of to the basement system with the 36" tube TV it went...

The TV is a Samsung HLS6187W. I have to believe the back is too steep to mount a shelf on; at least on to hold the CS400.

I may end up wall mounting the center above the tv or just sitting it up on its own pedestal, in front of the tv.

Thanks all for guidance.
