    This has HEOS so wireless speakers can be used in a Zone 2 setup if only 2 height speakers are used in the main zone, but not for $38 bucks each like the Dual Electronics wired speakers I got!

    Looks like Harley at Crutchfield recommends at least 18-7/16” shelf depth for this Marantz SR6012 :) That is about right! In my case, I get 19-1/4” deep in my case! So to be safe, I would recommend 20” deep.

    There's no replacement for poplar placement.

    Hello
    Therefore I had to add another layer of poplar 2x2s. Since I cleaned out my local Lowe’s of there huge stock of 9 - 3’ lengths, I had to pick up 3 more at the Lowe’s in Seabrook NH. I really am glad Lowe’s carries these 2x2 popular boards because I called around and No other store or lumber yard has them!
    So you can see by the Pics that even with the recessed outlet boxes, I just barely have enough room to close the roll top front of the floating TV stand! This is with 3 layers of 2x2s measuring 4.5”
    Rocklor carries veneer sheets that I can put over the poplar boards to match the cabinet more closely. :)
