Just got the GWII on Thursday (60") and so far I'm really taken with it. I have some "umr" tweaking to do (already into that process) and it's given me great and mixed results so far. I suspect I'll be tweaking for a while.
One element I'd like to address is a way to support a center channel speaker sitting on top of the TV. I'd prefer not to have to put up a shelf on the wall behind the TV. Had I done that for the last set, I'd now have a speaker shelf on the wall that wouldn't line up with where this one needs to go.
I noticed that the set comes with screw holes for a silly guide wire assembly (I suspect 1 in 10,000 owners of the set probably bother with it) but that got me thinking. Perhaps I could create a shelf to attach to those holes to support a stand to hold the speaker.
It would be shaped like this:

The right edge of the horizontal could be secured with the wire supports (which mean it'll attach right behind the top lip of the TV) and the bottom edge of the vertical could have a cushion ring on it to keep from making noise and to settle into the set well. Do you think this sort of solution would work? Is it a bad idea?
Where might I find something like this? Organized Living sells various sized metal shelfs and such and might have something like this but I'm not sure.
