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... -
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... -
Im in the process of getting a stand built for the HTM1D. However the one issue that sits in the back of my mind, is that the spec sheet for the speaker says built for use on the floor. Would raising it reduce the bass extension and would it be noticable? The reason for raising it is to improve the...
