Hi Mike, i'm using the latest RR-777 model connected via balanced cable to a KR Mk2 psu. Like you, I couldn't locate my RR-777 dead center between my speakers, so I placed my unit on top of a hot water cupboard above my left speaker which is fortunately 6'4" above the ground. I just added some Wally/Harmonic isolation feet to raise it up a bit more & isolate the device.I have my unit pointing toward the God seat, though I don't think they're directional. My sense is the most important thing is to elevate it to the optimal height. I've seen some guys in your situation build a wood stand with a platform for the RR-77 to sit on to get it up above 6', so that could be an option. Hard wood would be preferable to reduce resonance.
Btw, a couple of small pieces of grey colored electrical tape placed over the LED light works a treat to reduce its brightness, as I found it quite distracting. Here are some pics of my setup..

Thanks, Bodhi.It seems you/me think alike as far as the blue light. I used a hole-punch for leather to punch out a dot of black electricians tape to cover that damned thing with. For something that is supposed to have a calming effect that light sure is annoying as hell. To get optimum placement I'd have to attach a shelf to the wall over the equipment rack, and spousal acceptance would be an issue for me. She's been incredibly accepting and forgiving of my aural addictions over the years, but this is one point where she draws a line. If I had a good way to disguise cables running up to it I might could get away with a small shelf just large enough to accommodate the R77.

With a couple of swabs of grey electrical tape the light was still visible, but dimmed sufficiently not to be a distraction. You still want to know when the unit is on. I was able to hide most of the cabling by using a short xlr umbilical, installing a single wpo high up in my electrical cupboard & cutting a small hole in the top vented cover to route the power cable. I was really happy with how it worked out.You could try building a wood stand in the same color as your existing cabinet and see how it looks. Then again, an RR-77 + KR psu at a less than optimal height/location is better than no RR-77.
