Next up the final update in this saga...   A set of DIY speaker stands to bring the speakers to the proper height behind the screen.  Keeping with the "Keep It Simple" concept, I went with a box like design using 4x4's and MDF board.   I had everything cut to size at the hardware store so screwing them together took all of 20min.  I followed that with a coat of flat black paint and they were ready for action.  After getting them placed I added the last bit of speaker cloth to cover the lower section of the screen and presto.  Done!
