I considered the center channel placement way too long and decided it was best below screen and close to the height of the mains. I'm using the Polk CSi5, which is quite large at 24" wide. Not much choice in A/V credenzas that will accept a center this wide. And if it does, it is lacking in available component space. So I devised a platform as it were that has the same width and rear taper as the DLP that sits on it. This platform sits on top of the credenza. The speaker sits in a "tunnel" in the platform center and has the added benefit of lifting the screen 10 1/2 inches. Veneer it in black ash or paint piano black and it looks like it came from Samsung! It's not that complicated to do if you are half-skilled in woodworking, or most cabinet shops will build it paint/veneer ready for about $1,000.
