After spending the morning after Church at my parents' house, while waiting for the local Goodwill to open (which, incidentally, is the place I purchased my receiver) I got to looking at my dad's stereo racks. Finally I got fed up with my lazy set-up (with the receiver, EQ and Phase Coupled Activator, simply stacked on one of my speakers)... Today I purchased a cheap ($15) "bookshelf" to use as a new stereo rack, and finally arranged my stereo components, Media Center PC and one of my game consoles in a far more logical and elegant way.
Here is a picture of my new setup featuring (from top to bottom) my Media Center PC, my Optimus (RadioShack) Equalizer, a Phase Coupled Activator, my Pioneer 5.1 Ch Receiver, and my Xbox 360, between my television and one of my pair of Rectilinear speakers (with the cover purposefully removed to show the 6-way driver system) given to me by my father as a housewarming gift (and one I appreciate on a near daily basis). These were my father's college speakers; and as he and his roommate were the "stereo guys" in their dorm in college needless to say these are EXTREMELY good speakers! Given a clean input they sound as good at low volumes as they do at "permanant hearing damage" levels! Though the setup works exactly the same as it did before it is now much more accessable than it was, and definately looks better. I feel it was worth the time spent.

The bookshelf looks quite nice and seems to be a good solution.
