As my basement flood repairs/renovation get to within 6 weeks of completion, I'm thinking about how to set up and stage my multi-channel and home theater components so I'd like to see what has worked for you all. It has literally been five years since I've used anything but a soundbar! I'm looking to balance the following:
* protection (dust, lots of pet hair, possible spills)
* cooling/ventilation (9.2 AVR)
* access (for physical media)
* visibility of displays
* aesthetics
* price
Whatever I use will either be below or to the side of a large flatscreen. If below then it will also support a typical center channel speaker so the furniture itself would have to be short but spacious enough to hold 7-8 components. The front mains are 42" tall.
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions, photos and/or lessons learned!
