I have a new Panasonic 50" LCD TV, and can't figure out how to place my center speaker (VP150).

1) It can't sit on top of the TV
2) It can't sit on top of my makeshift cabinet, because it blocks the bottom of the screen.
2) I can't find a nice wooden TV/Component cabinet that this 27" wide speaker will fit into.
3) I don't know if putting it on a shelf ABOVE the TV is sensible.

Any pointers? This has become quite a headache for me.
Thanks,
js
