Thanks, that setup looks great btw. The exposed copper driver look is really growing on me. What type of acoustic insulation did you use? Board, foam, etc.. ? One of my coworker actually suggested putting a "memory foam" pillow behind it. That would be real cheap and easy to try.

This is in our living room, I dont have the luxury of dedicated HT Room in current home. Whatever I get will be essentially flush with the edge of cabinet. I had originally thought about the RP-404C, as it would fit in the center compartment, but it's rear ported.... The back panels behind left/right side compartments are removable. However, the back panels behind the center channel space is NOT removable - sadness.... I'm going to call the manufacturer of the stand tomorrow, to ask them what they thought about opening up the back panel - "mini circular saw powers activate!" - at least behind the top center channel compartment. But it's pretty thick, and I don't want to risk making the stand structurally unsound. So I'm going to call and get opinions before sawing away.... The other possibility that I've thought of, but "she who must be obeyed" wont like it, is to wall mount the TV above the stand, and have the center sitting on top. Then I can put monster sized center in place. That would remove all the issues, but wouldn't be "as pretty" in the living room. Thanks in advance Mark B

Looking at upgrading aging (20+ year) surround sound system, and seriously considering the Klipsch RP line. I have questions about setting RP Series Centers inside a TV Cabinet. Due to "wife acceptance factors" the center must be mounted inside our existing TV Stand It is a model from Furnitech, and our 55" TV is setting on top of it. https://www.furnitech.com/collections/tv-stands-media-consoles/products/tv-stand-in-a-contemporary-wenge-finish Usable Interior Dimensions For Center Channel Speaker Compartment: 9.96"H x 29.84"W x 15.75"D The center channel compartment is almost fully enclosed, except for holes in back for cabling. The back center panel cannot be removed Any ideas how this impact sound? I've got fears that it will become an echo chamber. Thanks ahead of time.
