The 70 inch will have detachable speakers but I do not know why they would not make the 60's detachable.  Like you I agree they the speakers look dumb.

If you like it, it comes in a lighter color as well.  I'll hook everybody up with some pictures once everything gets put together

Looking forward to your pictures and what you think about its performance once you actually get it in your own home....thanks! :wave:
