The HTM62 is the smaller of the two centre speakers in the 600 Series, and is tailor-made to partner either the 684 floorstander or 685 standmount loudspeaker at the front of a home theatre system.
For home theatre systems in small to medium-sized rooms, where it can team up with a pair of 684 floorstanders or 685 bookshelf units in the front positions, the HTM62 offers outstanding centre speaker performance.
Its symmetrical design allows for horizontal orientation or vertical, if room is running out. Twin 130mm Kevlar® bass/midrange units sit either side of a Nautilus™ tube-loaded tweeter, making a presence powerful enough to match the main speakers in the room.

The multi-award winning 685 is a standmount loudspeaker capable of providing a clear and refined performance in both stereo or home theatre systems in small to medium sized rooms.
The smallest model in the 600 series is an incredibly versitile loudspeaker. It is an ideal bookshelf speaker for stereo in smaller rooms, but also a refined rear speaker in home theatre systems.
