    HTM61 as LCR?

    Would anyone have any reservations about using 3 HTM61s in a LCR setup? I have a Salamander triple wide rack, and I am going to add the riser so I can put 3 speakers under the TV. I know the 685s and HTM61 would be the first thought, but why not use 3 HTM61? Any thoughts? THey would fit perfectly 3 across which I think would look slick.

      I sell a lot of systems using the same speaker for LCR's and recommend it whole heartedly. Quite a few of those systems were LCR600S3's. If you main focus is home theater I recommend people use the same speaker for all three front channel speakers. As good as manufacturers have gotten at voice matching centers to the standard left and right speaker, it's not the same speaker and will never sound the same. I think using three HTM61's would be great.

        My wife has agreed to let me build a custom in-wall entertainment center as long as it "looks good." In short, she prefers form over function.

        That said, my room is acoustically bright with tile floors and big dimensions 21'L x 19'W x 15'Tall. I'm down to my final selection...
