"I shoved my Samsung 50-inch DLP as far back on the AV stand as I could"
Excellent Idea! That's something I hadn't thought of!
I'm trying to figure out how this would work and, with none of these items puchased yet, it's been a game of "best guesstimate" and walking around with a tape measure often.
I DID know that the Bell'O TV stand I was looking at to match my audio rack would not have allowed for the VP150 on it's top shelf... it was a 1/2 inch short on the height. I thought I was going to have to build a stand for the Samsung and STILL have the center way too high or too low... placing it on the "Main" shelf height will definitely be an improvement!
Thanks Alan- You're forgiven for that other thing!
