It sounds a little cheesy but was quite effective. Of all things, Stim-U-Dent tooth picks made handy shims.
I'd like to think I won't be doing much connecting/disconnecting now, but just bumping around behind the system can be inadvertent trouble. That happened as I was reconnecting everything after having moved the system forward. I'll probably move the speakers out two or three inches, too. No power cords with those!

On the other hand, I'll have to disconnect to dust thoroughly. Uh oh.
