'Riser' for LCD TV?

I have my Toshiba 37WLT66 on a fairly standard 3 tier glass shelved stand (with silver tubular legs). The LCD stands on the top, my DVD player and amp are on the 2nd shelf, and my xbox and 360 are on the bottom shelf.

I used to have my centre speaker from the surround system sitting on the top shelf in front of the TV, but found that it blocked the signal from the remote. Now it sits on top of the xbox, which doesn't look good and I'm sure isn't great for sound quality.

So, what I'd like to find is some sort of 'riser' (like the sort of thing an office PC user might use to lift a monitor to the correct working height), but something that would match a glass/silver AV stand. Then I could have the centre speaker back in front of the TV but it would be lower and wouldn't block the signal.

I was in John Lewis at the weekend, and they had some AV units/stands made entirely from formed perspex (about 15mm thick), but the smallest one was about 2 DVD players wide, too wide for what I want.

Anyone know where I could get such a thing?

Re: 'Riser' for LCD TV?

How about an upside down small fish tank?

Or some sort of "designer" clear plastic flower trench / trough??

Any solution would have to be stable, and if it were my TV, the riser would have to be "glued" / fixed to the top glass shelf, this may not be so easy.

Re: 'Riser' for LCD TV?

Im also after something like this. I have a new sony lcd and the height between the bottom of tv and the tvs stand is not quite enough to fit my dvd or sky box underneath. I only need to raise it about 20cm higher, does anyone have any good ideas.

Re: 'Riser' for LCD TV?

How about this as a lateral solution, for the OP.

Please see my reply in this thread:

How best to house centre speaker

Apologies but I only just typed that one

But heres a picture I have just taken:PICTURE
