    Subwoofer (B460) as TV stand?

    I picked up a B460 this weekend. Wow, what a monster. (Pristine condition BTW.) Looks like the only logical place for it is under a plasma TV. It may be that I have to put the TV directly on top of the B460. Can I anticipate any problems with the sub's vibration and TV function/life span? IOW, will the TV circuits/screen be negatively affected from doing this?

    FWIW, I think I'd mount it on the wall before subjecting the electronics to direct
    coupled vibration... It'll vibrate in a room that has a B460 exercising in it anyway ,
    but not likely as much as if set right on top (certainly possible to have a nasty
    vibration come through a wall mount, but much less likely). -grumpy

    Also, the 2245H is not shielded so could affect CRT TV's and maybe interfere with LCD/Plasma's. Best to consult the TV/Panel MFG and evaluate. I agree though that it's best to isolate fragile or semifragile displays from the direct contact of a subwoofer. No telling what the resonant frequecy of the TV is but I don't think you want to find out. Wall mount for the TV is best and provides better isolation.
