Input needed on height of tv stand


We recently bought a Sony 50" Class Grand Wega SXRD TV and am going to do the HT/2 Channel setup and while I have seen some decent tv stands, the ones that I have seen have glass shelves on them, and am not to crazy about glass shelves holding all of the audio equipment , so I have decided to have a stand built.

We plan on doing two couches in the living room and the first couch will be roughly 7-9 feet from the tv , while the second one will be 10-12 feet away. Height of the tv is 33.13"

What would be a good height for the stand to be so that the people in the back couch have a good view , and the people in the front couch dont have to look up while watching t.v ?

We are thinking 36".

I have 60"SXRD and the stand is 25" off the floor. I would actually for 2-3" lower, but then my wife could not see the bottom of screen from the treadmill (over teh control panel) behind our seating area.
