Currently I have a Samsung 61" DLP and an Audio Rack.
Please see attached picture.
I want get rid of my current tv stand and audio rack.
Requirements:
1) I would Like a taller TV stand with 3 shelves,
2) with a depth of 21"(for the cinenova Grande)
3) the bottom Shelf Must be able to hold the weight of the amp which is about 130lbs.
I used to have the center channel speaker on top of the DLP tv, But I would Like to have it on the top shelf right below the TV on the stand..
What would you guys recommend for me?
Reasoning I want to get get rid of the Audio Rack is to give more breathing room for my LSI 15's...and that my current TV Stand is completely wasted, because it cant really hold anything...
If you look at my system pictures in my signature I am trying to redo my Living Room..(due to a burned out outlet, had to move my **** around to get the electrician near it).
Added new image.. A further View Back.. The Total Width of my room is 13ft(156").
My Tv is 55" Wide.. The Rack is another 30" wide, which I could Be Saving in width by getting a new TV Stand...

It does look nice...
I was hoping to spend 500ish, or less....Click here To see My system

My advice would be to keep the separate audio rack, and move it to the back of the room. That will give you more breathing room for the Lsi's.
I have always had mine set up this way, because I don't want to see a bunch of led's distracting from the picture on the screen. It also puts the equipment much closer to where I sit, and that makes it much easier to see what's on the disc player or pre's display when I need to.
And get that center channel in the center, and the TV centered between the mains! -

Yeh I was just experimenting, since I was moving everything around..
It is off center, and Will be moved to be in the Center of the Fronts...
I never thought About Moving the Audio Rack into another Part of the Room..
The only Issue with that is I would have to get a really long HDMI cable to run to the TV from where ever the rack is... , But then I am still wasting the space Underneath the TV... I will have to think on that..Click here To see My system

Something there may work. Remember, measure twice, order once.

I highly recommend the Salamander Design stands - I have one for AV equipment and another for the TV and center channel.
Their price may be a bit higher than your target, but you should check them out. -
Here is the link:

I use the Synergy series stands, but you may want to consider their others. -
My requirements have changed after looking around..
Also my max depth that I needed before was 21"...
The Cinenova Handles can be removed to save an extra 2", making the shelf requirement 19".
If the back can be left open on a stand, then 19" would be enough...
Today While shopping at Costco I ran into a stand Which I think I will be getting...
TV stand costs 400 dollars... so it is within my Budget...
Manufacturer: Slam Brands
Model: Savante Sehmore
Features:
- metal mesh vented sliding shelves and bottom
- removable magnetic finished wood backs with cable slots for access to equipment
- glass/wood/mesh door options
- integrated power strip in middle cabinet
- Completely assembled
I am borrowing my friends Truck either Saturday or Sunday and picking this monster up.. Weight is 200lbs because its solid wood...
Now I need to decide if I can fit the Center channel Vertically inside the Cabinet OR Put it On top of the TV again(which i would prefer not to do, LSiC is too damn Heavy), Or get a Ceiling hanging speaker stand...
First 2 Pictures were taken with my iPhone, second 2 pictures I found from some one else who got this TV on AVS Forums...Click here To see My system

Just did some calculations..
The Depth of the TV is 14".
Depth of the LSiC is 9"..
The New Stand has a depth of 21.6"...
I could just Hang both the tv and the LSiC off their Respective Edges...
So Theoretically I could put the LSiC on the top shelf, Right infront of the TV...
Since the TV has about 9" before the screen starts....
Now I wonder where the RF Sensor for the TV is on the Samsung....Click here To see My system

How about this? It's 25-1/4" H, 68" W, 20-2/3" D?
It's at BB, but the weight limit is 175 lbs. for a tv? I don't know what your DLP weighs?I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE! -
Very nice stand you found at Costco for the price. I'd go with it as long as you like it. I was going to suggest racksandstands.com but everything nice is well over 1k.Shoot the jumper.....................BALLIN.............!!!!!

After alot of work to get the handles off the Cinenova the tv is finally on the stand...
This is the initial setup without any clean up work to hide wires, no glass on the doors of the cabinet...
Too tired to finish up everything tonight....Click here To see My system

Ran into a problem with having the LSiC in the center of the TV...
The IR Sensor sits right behind the speaker, so I cannot easily turn the TV on and Off..
Do they have IR devices that can sense IR and pass it on, like a mirror...
Also if it Could be relatively small that would be great...
Links to products would be very much appreciated..Click here To see My system

I did quite a bit of research on IR repeaters last year, and went with Xantech. I got mine through eBay - here is a listing on Amazon.com:
