My suggestion is to take that $1400 you were going to spend on the entertainment center and get a projector. Panasonic has a new lcd projector for about $2000 that has 1080p, very good black levels and no screen door effect. You can pick up equipment racks for less than $200. DIY screens can be made for about $100. Then there are no placement issues since you can just get a center channel stand to go under the screen.
