I have this wall mount which I just mounted my tv to.

I wanna get a wall mount for an AV receiver, however I seem to have a problem.

If I get something that mounts to my tv wall mount like this, then if I tilt my tv forwards the AVR might fall off. Also if I move the tv around it may tug on the wires going to my speakers.

However if I got something that screws into the wall like this, then the problem is that I can't centre it beneath the tv. It needs to go into a stud, none of which are in the centre of the tv.

Any ideas or help with this?

Edit: nvm... I think I'm just gonna get one of these and simplify the whole thing.

You need to be a little more flexible with your solution...
First, does it really need to be wall mounted?
If yes, then you need to find a solution that will allow you to anchor a sturdy shelf to several studs while allowing adequate support and ventilation for the AVR... as well as placement flexibility to allow your centering the shelf beneath the TV.
(For example:)

I would definitely NOT attach it to your TV.

Otherwise, a component rack/stand or shelving unit would be the way to go. Agai, just make certainn it is not closed and provides adequate space for cooling!

Definitely doesn't need to be wall mounted... I just happened to buy a wall mount a while ago before I really thought about this, and also didn't want a big tv stand and clutter. Now that it's mounted though I'm having second thoughts.

The unit you linked looks decent. I like the stand I found. Had no idea those existed until right now. Allows for some swivel (which I want), and also is very open so should be ok for cooling.
