Center Speaker (http://www.polkaudio.com/homeaudio/products/cs400i/)

it weighs about 30.00 lbs. (13.61kgs)

is it safe to make a shelf were the front of the shelp rests on the top middle of the tv ?

i dotn have nay room under the tv due to my components , any other ideas ? i could mount a shelf on the wall i guess behind the tv but the front of the center channel would not line up with the front of the tv , and thus would look weird.

Building a shelf on top of the TV for the center channel should work just fine.....and sound good too! Just make sure you build the shelf strong enough to support the weight of the speaker.
