Well I'm in an apartment currently with kind of an oddly shaped room.

My furniture setup is pretty much the same except my couch is a sectional in that corner. I can't really afford an A/V rack at the moment since I'm spending 3k on speakers and I just spent 1k on a receiver and besides I'm not even sure there would be room up there for one with the speakers and the sub. The only other option would be inside the TV stand which I am loathe to do for cooling reasons, there is already a HTPC in there with a port cut out in the back for cooling but I wouldn't want any more stuff in there.

So after all that blather I figure untill I move in to a bigger place (hopefully soon) if there is no problem with the receiver on top of the unshielded sub then I can plop it on there.

Receiver is a Denon 3806 btw if that matters for some reason.
