Aw shucks, now i'm gonna have to update my pic. That white wall (we had just moved in at the time) and those homemade stands are just embarassing.

Man, I had no idea how deep the M60s were! That's a great setup, and I'm glad to see the Burnt Sienna grills. It looks great in your setup but I don't think it would work nearly as well in mine. Thanks for the pics!

...I've been looking at the Wall of Fame. Everyone's got M60s. I want M60s...

Thanks for the link, pmbuko! The Axiom Wall-o-Fame is a good start.
Now I just need to know which finishes I'm seeing in those pictures (no labels)...

DZ- i really had no positioning probs with the M60's at all.. that is a very large, wide entertainment center(EC), and i really just put the speakers on the ground, sat on the couch, and had my wife slide them in and out from the EC til it sounded good. the toe-in was just to get them pointed at the main listening position, but they sounded just as good straight forward. i was just being picky. they are awesome, i coulndt be happier. my main complaint is that the VP150 is soooo high above the TV screen. i have it angled down to try and get some relief, but it sometimes makes the actors seem like thay are 8ft tall cause their voices are coming down from above. but, hey.. ya gotta deal with what ya got, so there you are!!
craig- i leave the grills on due to wife request. the pics actually made the grills look kinda pinkish, but they arent. they are actually like a light mocha with a hint of orange color.. think of a dark saltillo tile, and thats more of what they look like. i think the flash is playing tricks, cause they arent pink at all!!

Thanks, bigjohn! Good to hear that you've been happy with your M60's!
Here's the reason I asked you about positioning them:
Note: This is a stock photo of my E.C., with the same dark cherry finish, but not actually my E.C. Same kinda deal as yours: Same type of width, same main speaker toe-in to focus on the sweet spot, which will be 13 1/2' in front of the E.C.
I'm encouraged by your results. Thanks!

You always know Daphoid has posted in the thread when all the posts are suddenly wider than your window...
Hey Daph, any way you can you shrink your pix down by about 50%? They're HUGE.

I dunno, usually it's 2x6 that causes that for me. But I don't have a dinky little laptop screen like you do.
