Need a TV stand worthy of a Kuro 50" - Blu-ray Forum

blurayuser09 · 10-13-2009, 04:30 AM

Fellow Pioneer Kuro 50" brothers, I need some advice on TV stands worthy of holding up this great TV. I would preferably like to buy at a place like Best Buy. Thanks.

PS. I intend to hold:

50" Kuro
Denon 2310 AVR
PS3
centre-channel speaker
cable box
an xbox or BD player

I have mine on THIS stand from Target and I love it. It can hold a 200lb. TV and it looks very nice. Check my gallery to see how it looks in my home.

check out mine in my HT Gallery... my tv is way to small, but with a 50" it would look pretty cool. Got mine at Costco

I have this same stand with a 52 in LCD and it looks good with that size tv. I am sure your kuro would look good. I got mine a Wal Mart with a silverish black legs. I had plenty of room for other equipment. However with no backing wire management can challenging. Good Luck

BDI Avion 8527. The nicest thing I own. Hands down.

Check out mine in my HT gallery, there's some pics in my "old setups" folder. Also, you can see some nice pics in a thread I started a thread about my stand. Here's the thread, you also see some pics from another member who has one. It's a great lookin stand, I love it. And what's really nice, is that it fits my center speaker, which is very tall. I think it has an 8" clearance on both shelves. PLUS, it has a wall mount and mount for the stand, so it's a 3 in 1

Nothing personal, but I just don't feel that's worthy of the awesomeness of a Kuro.

Really? Black glossy metal and smoked glass? To each is own. I love it myself and my Kuro seems to like it just fine.

BDI makes some fantastic stuff. That Avion model looks nice, but in general, I don't like compartment-style stands since I'm worried that some future gear won't fit in.

I was looking at their Deploy stand, but the shelves don't look like it can hold they can hold a 7"-tall Denon 2310 and a 7"-tall centre speaker.

How about the Init 50" from best buy? I have the 60" model. Pics in my gallery.

blurayuser09 · 10-14-2009, 02:07 AM

OMG. I'm in love, but not $1750 in love, though.

Is it hard to mount the Kuro on those arms? Can you do it with two people (assuming the arm can be attached while the Kuro is flat on the floor)?

BDI is top notch. I have the Meriden 8127.

Hmm.. I found a way to use Google search for "Kuro" home theatre galleries on blu-ray.com:

That Init looks like bad-ass. Another user has the 60" model, and it looks even more bad-ass:

I bought a Salamander Synergy Triple 20 with the TV mounts and speaker mounting kit. It was expensive, but I felt my 111FD deserved the best I could afford.

I went through this...didn't get the BDI...the optional mount isn't rated to hold the 60" Kuro. Nice looking unit, though.

Spectral High End stand... Ground Aluminium uprights and 19mm (3/4 in) Glass. The option for black glass IMO look classier still than the picture above. They are not cheap and they are not light, but if you're after the contemporary look they are second to none.

Got this one at BB. Supposed to hold up to 300lb display. My Kuro Elite 60" is not that heavy. Works fine for me.

Got one at BB last week. It was a floor model with a few scratches. $350 with free delivery. Got the espresso color. Should match well with the 141. I'll post some pics when I get it set up.
