16"/40cm (width) or less receiver... help!

[krustyx]

Guys, i need a new receiver and my TV stand have 16" openings.

I've searched and can't find anything lower than 17"!!

I need a 5.1 at least!

Thank you for helping me!

Width, right?
Is that just in the front? Can you put it in from the back, and is it any wider in the back?
I don't know of anything off the top of my head that narrow, but it would concern me even if we did find one it might be too tight of a space and the receiver wouldn't be properly ventilated.

No, 16" width thats it... the openings are

16" width
15" depth
10" height

thank you

Unless someone else can come up with something, I'm not sure anything I know of will work. I thought maybe some digital receivers would fit, but the ones I checked- Panasonic, JVC, HK, were all 16.9" or wider, and over 17" deep. I think your depth is a problem too. The receivers with the least depth I know of are Marantz, but they're still 15 3/16"+.

i will manage the depth, i can move the stand!

Yah, depth won't be an issue now that I see it.
Width though, still haven't found anything yet...

17" is the standard width for a normal sized home audio component. Maybe there are a few exception, but none that I'm aware of. Are there any mini systems that offer 5.1?

Can your stand be disassembled? If you really need to make something fit, I would be tempted to remove all but the middle & end vertical supports.
