I actually was thinking about moving the TV above the fire place, that will most likely happen very soon, but i'm enjoying these M100s where they are now. I love these speakers!
Listener, I can't sacrifice the view, as the glass doors over look the water and turning the couch around would put our backs to the water. Yes, that makes the most acoustic sense though, but the the wife would never oblige.
Water view is hard to beat. I noticed you're from Florida. Where in Florida do you reside? I'm thinking of bringing my family for a six to ten week getaway there this winter since we are working remotely anyways and kids have the option to remote learn. I usually go to Fort Lauderdale, but this year plan on visiting the gulf side. Probably around Sarasota and Fort Myers.
