Embarrassed....Audio furniture help


Well, I swore I'd never let a woman dictate my two channel system but here we are.  Wife and I bought our first new home, I've got a small but adequate second living area for my system.  Problem is, as mentioned, my wife.  Setup will consist of CD player, AppleTV unit and integrated amp.  May add a streamer at some point but we'll cross that bridge later.  I'm using a pair of bookshelves and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

Here's the rub....She is demanding an A/V credenza, so speakers sitting on the credenza on either side of the TV.  Of course I'd love a vertical audio stand and be able to use speaker stands but it's too open, too many exposed cables, blah blah, you know the story.  

Question of the day:  can anyone point me in the right direction?  I need minimum 18" depth and all the awful Crate and Barrel stuff she recommends isn't up to my audio standards.  Needs something with doors for a clean look but I still need my IR signal to work.  Because the speakers aren't going on stands, I'd like something at least 20" tall.  A lot of the fashionable stuff is 14-16" tall, putting the tweeters way below ear level in the listening position.  

Any help would be much appreciated.  

Sincerely,

Man shaking his head with a borderline resigned look

@cjlundberg,

As @mwh777 pointed out, Salamander makes beautiful A/V cabinets. Let her pick the cabinet from Salamander and you grab following two accessories,

Harmony Elite remote with a hub. I am using two of these in separate rooms with Salamander cabinets and they simply work with any electronics inside the cabinet. No remote clutter and you will enjoy the ease of one command control your multiple devices.

For speaker height adjustment and isolation (very important), I recommend to buy IsoAcoustics Aperta Isolation Stands.

Hope this helps!
