It's not easy to find stands where the top shelf opens to the back. So another possibility might be a shelf to rest on the low stand. Lay the speaker under the shelf and rest the widescreen on the shelf. The shelf would have to be higher and wider than the center channel. Could be a challenge to structurally and aesthetically integrate the shelf to the stand, if they weren't sold as a set.
Here's one such shelf, but it may not integrate with most stands:

Anyway I'm still undecided about what is the best approach.
