I bought a Pioneer Elite PRO-101FD last year to replace my Sony CRT HDTV. When I had the Sony, I used to place the VP150 center speaker on top of the TV using a center speaker shelf. However, when I bought the Pioneer I had to move the VP150 below the TV. It doesn't sound bad below the TV, but it definitely used to sound better above the TV, angled slightly downward toward the listening area.

I'm considering buying a new speaker shelf that supports plasmas and larger speakers, but I'm worried about stability. I don't want anything happening to the VP150 or Pioneer.

Have any of you tried using a speaker shelf with a bigger speaker such as the VP150 on top of a plasma? Did it work out OK?

I'm considering the following speaker shelf:
