BTW, I thought you had cable on your TV. I saw a DigitalStream DTV converter on top of the set. Did you cancel your cable already?
I had a stand like yours for my stereo system (a Zenith four-mode integrated system, much larger than the Aiwa system I have now) some years ago. Stereo was on top, an external cassette deck was on the shelf directly below, and the speakers were at either side. Left it at the house when I moved nearly 13 years ago. My present video installation (flat screen TV, VCR and Blu-ray) is mounted on a utility cart converted to an entertainment center; TV on top, VCR on the shelf below, and Blu-ray below that. The cart has hidden casters, so it looks that much nicer in my apartment. It's probably the closest I'll ever come to having a console TV here, as this apartment is much too small for a large combo set.
Here's a picture of my video system. Insignia 19" flat screen on top, Panasonic PV-4022 VCR (with cat and dog figurines either side) just below, LG BP-220 Blu-ray on lower shelf, and an unused storage area below that. (My DVD and VHS collection is in my bedroom; no room for it near the TV.) The entertainment center is in the center of the photo, which also shows part of my computer installation. The image on the computer monitor is a Windows XP screen saver.

I am so sorry, somehow I missed your post completely!
I still have cable, but when the local channels are playing football, they aren't presenting it in widescreen when it's over cable, and I prefer to see the whole field. Also, the picture quality is far better than my cable company. They have too many problems in good channel quality so I still like to use the DTV converter every now and then.
Love your setup too btw. Thanks.
