I’ve spent a lot of time looking into this. I think that the best option is to wall mount the TV, to get it elevated above the large horizon center.
Many tv/equipment stands seem to be aiming for a 20 to 22 inch height. With the horizon at that height, the tv would be a bit high for my taste. I think that getting 1 to 3 of these monoprice equipment racks would be an excellent and low cost solution, if you are okay with wall mounting the tv.

You can choose how high you want it, by not using all of the shelves. The horizon could sit on top. I was thinking of just using two shelves for the middle rack with the horizon on top, and then straddle it by two other racks with three shelves.
If you happen to have a tv with the legs of the stand out wide, like on this TCL TV, you could get three of the monoprice racks and remove one or two shelves from the middle one to allow for the horizon to be below it.

My TVs unfortunately don’t have wide legs at the base, so I can’t do it. I’ll need to wall mount the TV.
I am a big proponent of wall mounting the TV, and making sure it is at the proper viewing height.
When seated, watching the TV, your eye height should be somewhere in the lower half of the TV's height, some say the lower third.
A lot of us make a big deal about ear height in relation to tweeter height when it comes to speakers, I think viewing height in relation to the TV is just a important.
OK...that's my two cents.

I've never been a huge fan of TVs being too high up either. It's like you're watching from the nosebleed section! Your idea of using those monoprice equipment racks sounds pretty clever, especially if you're cool with wall mounting the TV. Plus, they seem pretty versatile, giving you the freedom to adjust the height to your liking. I don't know about you, but I've always preferred a Tv Stands that feels more integrated into the room rather than sticking out like a sore thumb. And with those racks, you can customize it to fit your space perfectly. It's all about making it work for you, right?
