Many thanks for the opinions and suggestions to date . . .
You know, it never dawned on me, but this new place has a small study just off the main living (err . . 'listening') room . . . . glass door and angled so that it actually complements the room nicely. So I was thinking, while it might not present the system out in the open so well, I 'could' set up a more reasonable 2 x 3 shelf system in that room, route speaker cables out through a wall into the main room and have the system room separated and safe from cats and such. Was going to use that den for guitar and piano practice . . . a music room per se.
Plenty to consider . . . . thanks again
