I have been researching for quite a while now on how to proceed with a new flat panel setup. In short, since the stands of all flat panel screens are shorter than the height of the center channel, I now need to figure out a new to put the center channel so it does not block the screen.
Given that the back of the TV area is only a half wall (stairs), it is not feasible to hang the flat panel or even mount the center to the wall. And hanging off the ceilnig is not an option since I want things bolted down tight and aesthetically, not have more things hanging down from the ceiling. So, I am now considering this setup:
This 60 inch credenza:

Then also use this arm to mount the flat panel on to the rear of the credenzza.

Here is the actual method for mounting using this arm and credenza.

Originally, I had my eye on the Panny 50 plasma, but given the current situation, I am now considering a Samsung or another LCD since it's much lighter in weight. There must be others who are also pulling their hair trying to fit the center channel with a flat panel screen right?
Does anyone have this setup or can comment on this setup?
