B&W HTM-61

Pdn:

Thanks once again for your feedback. The salesperson also highly recommends the HTM61, and even spent some time listening to it in the store in order to help dispel my concerns.

Are you using some sort of speaker stand that you can recommend for it?

I sit only about 4-1/2 to 5 feet away from my 32" LCD. The 683s are about 6-1/2 feet apart.

I have mine positioned horizontally directly underneath my 32" LCD TV. I have the TV sitting directly on top of it separated by a soft cloth. The TV (Sony Bravia 32" LCD, 37.5lbs)'s pedestal fits perfectly on top of the long side of the speaker with room to spare. There is absolutely no problem doing this. I checked into that. It does not harm the speaker and if anything, will dampen in a bit more. The HTM61 is rock solid with an improved enclosure over the 600 S3 series. I have both sitting on top of a standard small oak colored TV entertainment center I purchased in Target. Nothing fancy but fairly solid and heavy (the kind you assemble at home). Would you like me to take a photo of it and e-mail that to you?

Hi again, and thanks for the info. I have the same TV, interestingly enough.

And yes, a photo would be most excellent!
