    HTM2D - How to Tilt?

    I would appreciate descriptions of how you tilted your HTM Center Channel speakers?

    There are no threaded female fittings embedded into the bottom of the speaker.

    My thoughts are to search Home Depot or Lowes to find some sort of adjustable rubber bumpers.

    Your experiences would be appreciated. Photos please if available.

    Sincerely, JohnnyB

    I see you have the same Sanus video rack that I do. I added the 12" pillars to make enough room for me to fit my HTM4S in there. Did you make something custom to give you more shelf height to accommodate the HTM2D as I see in the specs that it is 13" tall. I went with the HTM4S as I did not come up with a reasonably inexpensive way to have enough room for a HTM3S.

    As for angling, I would think to find larger self adhesive rubber feet for the front. That's what I am considering for mine. I look forward to hearing your solution too! Best of luck!

      If you look very closely at my photo, you will note that the poles next to the Center Channel are two extension poles screwed together to make a tall shelf space, allowing the HTM2D to fit.

      I like your idea of rubber feet with adhesive on the bottom!!

        brunsje,

        I wanted just a little angling, so I took wine bottle corks and cut them lengthwise. this creates a flat 'bottom' to them. Them I simply put them under the front edge of my HTM2D.



        Hope this helps.

          After I posted I looked at the photo again and thought that must have been what you did - as I could see an ever so slight glint of silver showing. So, you have a 16" space as a result.... interesting!

          I have my 4s placed such that the tweeter is about 1.5" beyond the front of the shelf to give it some air. Have you done something similar?

          And the cork is another idea! And a great excuse to drink a bottle of wine tonight - audio research!

            HTM2D position

            My HTM2D sits over the edge of the shelf about an inch.

            I like the wine cork ideas!!

            My local shop mentioned to go to Home Depot (Office Supply Store) and get some rubber door wedges.

            Cheers, JohnnyB

              Buy a couple of rubber doorstops from Home Depot. That's what I used in the past before I using a B&W HTM stand.

                My HTM2D came with female threaded fittings. Four screws fasten it to the FS-HTM

                    I've used rubber door wedges from Home Depot and my favorite spare rubber item to keep around for home theater equipment... the Hockey Puck !
                    The Hockey Puck has helped give a little extra airflow underneath amps and receivers as well as behind the rear of my HTM2d which is mounted above my television.

                    Did I mention that their amazing dampening effects at 1/1000th the price of some esoteric solutions.

                    They are about $2.00 US

                      That is one of the best ideas I have read in a while. Thanks for that :T

                        Yeah. I was grateful when somebody shared this one with me. I went out and bought a bag full of black pucks for about $10.00

                        They fit perfectly underneath the feet of Receivers and Amps. Stack a few two high on a shelf and they can help you slide a 85lb amplifier into position in a cabinet.

                        I used a few to prop up a McInstosh amp. It helped airflow and helped me see the shiny blue lights better. I even put some under cable box dvr to help keep it cooler.
