well I would take a pic, but I'm getting a damn error with my digital camera so I can't do that 
But here is a pic of the Stand So you can have an idea of what I'm talking about.
anyways, I built my TV stand yesterday and put my 50" DLP onto it and it looks great. Only problem is that my center channel speaker won't fit on the shelves of the stand with the receiver on it also. I didn't realize this before I purchased the stand. The stand has 2 shelves on it, but the speaker I have won't fit on the top shelf. Neither will my receiver because its too tall as well. And I can't fit them both on the bottom unless I have the center speaker to the side a little, and also it's too low and even if I angle it up, there is a table in the way of the sound passing to the sitting area.
So my question is this. Should I just build a shelf and put it on the wall above the TV? The TV is about 2 and a half feet away from the wall, and if I put a shelf on the wall, the speaker will be about 1.5 feet behind the TV screen, and probably about 2 feet above the tv screen. I can't put it right above the TV screen on the wall because the angle from where I sit, the tv will block the path to the speaker, so I have to raise it up higher. I can also angle the speaker to aim directly at the couch I sit on to watch TV.
So my question basically is, would doing this shelf idea be the best, or will having the speaker behind the TV about 2 feet and above the TV about 2 feet make the center channel seem kind of drowned out or anything? this might be a stupid question, but I figured I would ask before I go nailing a shelf onto the wall to find out it just doesn't sound right with the speaker in that position. My other alternative is to get one of those center channel mounts that mount on the TV itself, which are pretty expensive though. So what do you suggest?
