Wow. If I hadn't fallen in love with the RC-64 and it's partner RF-83s, I'd have to give in to the little lady and ditch the center. It sounds too darned good.
We spent most of the night going through every TV stand at www.racksandstands.com, and the only thing that met with "estrogen" approval would require a new TV. HA! No matter how much I want one, I have to pay for these Klipsch first.
All of your input has prompted me to lots of measuring and sketching of the possibilities. A stair-stepped half wall behind the TV is causing too much grief for a wall/shelf mount. The dang TV is too high for a 3-shelf system, given the built-in pedestal.
I think at this point, I'm going to exercise my rusty wood working skills this weekend and see what crazy thing I can slap together. If it works out, I'll have to charge the Ogrette for it. Otherwise, I'll order the stand above, but show her a different picture. Once it's in, she has to love it. Right?
Thanks again for your help.
