I have a HTM1D on (back)order and need some help with the height. I have a HDM2D on a B&W stand with spike feet on a carpeted floor. The top of the tweeter height is 25" from the floor and I have about 1/2" room left. I would like for the HDM1D to be the same hight (25 to 25.5") but B&W says 23" without feet. How tall can the HDM1D be with feet?

Just for kicks does anyone own a HDM1D? Also can you measure the top of the tweeter hight from floor and also tell me how (and how much) the feet adjust? -
The HTM1D is specifically intended to be mounted on the floor, its low profile allowing a large projection screen to come within 600mm (2 ft) of the floor. Supplied with the system are four heavy-duty height-adjustable feet. This design allows up to 40mm (1.6 in) of vertical adjustment so that the speaker may be tilted back to face more towards the listeners. They have a case hardened spike at one end for carpeted floors, and a non-marking rubber pad on the other for more vulnerable surfaces. Source: B&W
I own an HTM2D with the FS-HTM Stand, as far as I know the above is intended. You weren't planning on using the FS-HTM stand for you HTM1D were you?
When your speaker arrives, please, please, write a review. I was considering upgrading but the cost is a big jump. my salesman does not have one on display. I would love to hear it before purchasing. Are you placing your speaker in front of your t.v.? this probably won't help much, but I sold my FS-HTM stand and mounted a shelf behind and above my 67" t.v. and placed my HTM2D on the shelf. I think it sounds better on the shelf not to mention it no longer in front of my amps and pre-amp and im not worried about my children or anyone else bumping into it etc.BOBComment

I plan on setting it on the floor. My bottom of my screen is 24.5" above the floor and because of the angle I can go about 1" above that without protruding into the screen view. Guess I will just have to wait and see how it sits since no one seems to have one to measurer. If it's an inch or two short I plan on maybe cutting a 1" inch thick board to a template of the speaker bottom and setting on it. I will write a review ASAP (I wish next week but...) and let you know the differences.Originally posted by crytklmassComment

Hi,
I was thinking about raising my HTM1D from the floor by about 15-18" and I am now trying to think what the best option would be both aesthetically and acoustically.
I went to a machinery shop which only constructs custom HT material like lifts, speaker stands... -
I have B&W Nautilus 802's and an ASW4000 Sub and am looking for floor spike solutions for them both. B&W no longer supplies feet or spikes for these and could not even tell me how tell the feet are supposed to be for the sub.
The 802 has metal plates with a roller wheel on the... -
I am moving to a home with tile floors in the room where my 703s will be located. They will be powered by a Rotel RB-1090 and the room is large (24'x27' by 16' tall)
Does it make a difference how the speakers sit on the floor?
My question is should they sit directly on... -
Couldn't sleep obsessing how do I do it
This is with Glass (unbreakable) and using Apollo Mezzo soprano unit.
This way the speaker sits on the floor and the TV sits on top
Question: With 3 Big speakers like these in the front does one really need a Sub ??... -
HTM1D..what is the max height from the floor it can be with the spikes all the way extended?
Mine should be here by the middle of the week and I am wondering if I will have to build a base for it to get the top of the tweeter to around 26".
I am excited about getting...
