I want to put my center channel on top of my HLN567W but it's so heavy. The Klipsch RC-62 is 8" high and my shelf beneath the TV is only 7". Any suggestions?

Put some kind of shelf above your tv to hold the speaker. 60lbs is too heavy to put directly on the tv.

I had a similar problem.

Solution: Buy a TV wall mount made for a smaller CRT TV and put your center channel on there. Works perfectly for me.

see if there is anyway to move the shelf down by maybe making your own holes and putting your own hardware in to support the shelf

I bought a TV wall mount from Best Buy. It is available on line. I forgot the name/model, but I believe it is rated for 100 pounds. Works great. I have a Klipsch RC7 centre speaker and I have it mounted on the wall so it sits just above my Sony SXBR 60" HDTV. I would have liked to have placed the speaker below the TV, but with the Sony stand, that was not an option.

sixbone,

I too would suggest using a TV wall mount. Besides what's already been mentioned, it also allows the light from a bias light to shine above the set which can be useful.
