'...an A/V
credenza...'
Style of furnishings she prefers? If Crate & Barrel is her initial call, it sounds like vaguely 'rustic modern' which is somewhat conflicting with 'A/V' equipment....although looking at C&Bs' site isn't totally true. Lotsa modern, although some 'trad frame & panel' are evident.
Sounds like time to do a web wander with the significant other...opting to dump the spouse over furniture seems a bit drastic and potentially expensive. Remember what R. Williams said about divorce...
Putting the speakers on 'suitably decorative' risers on a low credenza might be an option. My spouse wants an existing pair of Maggies' in a pending living space, but against the wall when not in song.
Solution: A pair of flat panel mounts that extend and pivot enough to allow the Mags to 'act proper', yet get moved back against the wall when not in use. Found a unit that even fits the existing mounting holes in the speakers, so no surgery needed to pull this off.
'Practical Magic' is possible, but thinking outside the box becomes a necessity.....;)
Happy hunting & good luck, J
