My bed has closets that make walls extending near the foot of my bed. Will these speakers sound OK mounted facing each other & not directly toward me?

It sounds like you have a constraint that has no other option but the ceiling. Mine are mounted in the ceiling and shooting straight down to where I sit/view TV. I imagine they would be fine in your installation since the tweeters are adjustable to aim toward you.

They have tweeters that you can aim back toward where you sit. I have mine on the left/right walls too. Make sure you have a center channel and you'll be fine.

Hey David ~ ive installed mine with the Pre-Concern that you had as well, no worries at all, it can be installed perfectly in any direction. nothing against your surround speakers. :D

So the room is 17' deep ? My room is 24x16 with the TV on the 16' wall. Right now I have a 5.2 with motion 2 and it sounds great. I'm probably going to add 2 motion 4 to the back unless I can get a good deal on the motion 2. How far apart will your speakers be ? If they will be 27' apart then you would need something bigger but I would guess they are closer than that.

Personally, I simply bought little square shelves and strong brackets at Lowe's and mounted them to my walls (in the beams, not just drywall....I'm not stupid). As long as the brackets are centered and strong enough, they work fine. The shelves I bought actually fit the speakers perfectly, allowing me to angle the front ones. The side speakers fit with a little bit of room on each side so the shelf is just about as wide as the speaker, so it fits nice. The shelves I bought weren't for the brackets I bought, but you can drill a couple of holes in them and make 'em fit. :)

Hi, in my opinion would not put a bracket on the wall. Try to put on a shelf that can leave one behind at least 20cm of space. The sound is much better. If you want to still, buy one universal, has a fitting to screw into the back of the speaker. Bye.

It should be okay as long as the shelf is open on both ends. You don't want to cover up the speakers on each end of the soundbar.

These speakers were designed for Surround sound. They come with picture like hangers for wall mounting. Or you could buy mounting brackets and hang them from a wall or fly them from the ceiling. They really should not be used as the main right and left speakers which is probably why you want speaker stands for these? I would buy tower speakers instead for left and right if you are going to waste the footprint space anyway and put them on stands. They are good sounding speakers, just not for what I think you intend?

These speakers aren't good candidates for wall mounting. Besides not having a wall mount bracket, they are also ported on the back. Ideally, the speakers would be placed at least 12 inches away from a wall for better sound.

I am sorry that I may not have a perfect answer about wall mounting these speakers but I would suggest contact JBL. I would be sure about mounting these little guys since they are quite heavy. I hope you are able to achieve mounting these speaker. I have had mine for a while now and they are excellent speakers with wonderful sound quality. Goo luck

There are four holes in the back of the speakers, although the wires go along the bottom of the base and the base extends about 1/4" beyond the back of speakers. Not sure that would be aesthetic for wall mount, some small floating shelves might be the way to go.

I have these wall mounted in a 5x5 walk in closet converted to a digital studio. If they are correctly positioned at the (sweet spot) listener, I see no point in bouncing them.

I have them installed in a 12x12 room and they do very well with sound to spare. These can mount in the corner of a room (mounting brackets handle that). If they were mounted high enough and clear of obstacles, then they should easily fill a larger room. I was thinking of getting another pair for a 24 x 30 room that I have.

there isn't any place to mount them unless you put a bracket on the back but if they are against the wall the port will be blocked best suggestion would be to make a shelf for them with an inch or two open behind them. these are awesome sounding speakers by the way.

I have them on a shelf that's 45" high an there 5' 6" apart. I use a 10" Polk 100w sub with them, to me they sound great with or with out the sub at the lissening level I use them!

I don't see why. I mounted mine horizontally. I think it is meant to go horizontally, but I don't think there would be a noticeable difference in sound quality.

If the speakers are facing fully forward, you will get some upward tilt, limited by the rear mounting bracket, your wall and the height of your speakers. Tilting them inward will give you less upward tilt. Another possibility would be to go with a wall shelf or stand at ear height if you are mounting them that low (and may look less awkward also).

Normally, no. What would probably make the most sense would be to mount them in a "2pi" configuration, in other words right at the boundary of wall and ceiling. With the "u" shaped mounting brackets you can do a little experimenting, but "bouncing" sound will usually result in loss of certain frequencies and a kind of "smeared" sound.
