Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I have to use a shelf below the TV because I have a bulkhead that comes right down to the top of the TV. As for the shelf, I don't use banana plugs, but adding an extra inch sounds like a good idea, Adrian.
Tom, I'll make sure that the speaker just slightly overhangs the front edge of the shelf; didn't know to do that.
Rick, I was going to get one of those shelves but I couldn't find one that was 55 1/2 inches long (the width of my TV). I'm also going to use it for my extra remotes.
