? for john d. strong or ...

hello all!
? for anyone w/a 36" monitor and a monster!-(cs400i) center.
over the last few mos. I have slowly built my ht setup-a new toshiba 36hfx71/rt800i's/cs400i/rt25i's/outlaw 1050/jvc prog. scan. etc.etc.-
sounds and looks great! I know most here have rp monitors,but for the ones like john,myself and others w/a 36" dv-who put their "monster" directly on top-
have u had any problems with the weight,or sagging of the monitor top?
I did get a piece of 3/8" thick glass,to distribute the weight evenly across the top of the set--37 1/2"w by 11" deep
and it's been up there for apx. 1 mo. w/no problems
(rubber feet under the 400 and very thin rubber feet at the 4 corners of the glass)
the wife (and myself) have been a little concerned about the weight on the mon.and the wooden sauder stand that supports it all.
along w/our 2 hounds rippin' around the house! (white hair all over the bottom grilles of the 800's

all I ask is that u make us feel more confident w/this weight and setup.--

I thank u all in advance for your time and responses-
a lot of the toys I now own,are suggs. from this forum!--u are all very helpful! CHEERS! jefff

i dont have the 400 but do have the 350ls and noticed that when i set the speaker directly on top of the tv (sony 36"xbr) that the picture tube would vibrate and send funny lines down the center.. so i put up a shelf for the speaker right behind and at the same level as the top of the tv..

CHEERS! jefff

I'm setting myself up to get ripped on this one, but here goes.

I actually have a CS 1000p sitting on top of my 32" Toshiba TV. I utilized quite a few of the large polk rubber feet to displace the weight evenly and to make sure it didn't flip off of the back. I have noticed no problems at all with my TV.

Your setup seems more than adequate.

Thanx Brent!
it's just that the tv manual says not to put anything heavy on top,
but I have seen pictures of the 400i on top of other 36" monitors
(like john d's - etc.) but never a 1000 on a 32"

:lol:
and was just wondering if anyone ever encountered any problems?

CHEERS! jefff

I'd like to see a picture of that.

Peace Out~

Whooaa! That is too funny. Kind of like a Lamborghini V12 engine set in a Yugo. :lol: My cs400i looks too small next to my screen. HEEE! HEEE!
