Do these need to be tilted/turned towards listening position or can I flush mount them to the side walls 2' behind listening position?

You can definitely flush mount this speaker it has an awesome sound and it seems to almost sound like there's at least four speakers in the room. I have a fairly small living room, but it is more than adequate for flush mounting this to the side walls. Just a side note. This cannot be returned, because the mailing facility doesn't handle this item as a return. Take it easy and good listening to you.

mine have been flush mounted in a small 12x12 spare bedroom on the back wall used for 7.2 surround sound. But I'm thinking about angling them down. my couch is directly along the back wall so the speakers are directly above the couch. I don't really get too much sound from them so I'm thinking about angling them down. Hope this helps

I have flush mounted them and has not noticed any degradation in sound quality. My speakers are almost 3 feet higher than the ear highets and 4 feets away from the sofas. Again no issues.

It really depends upon the position of the speaker meaning, as fronts =no. If you were to use as rears or sides and they were placed above main listening area=OK.In the end if you can put these in ceiling, you should be able to put the cdt-5800-c in ceiling=better choice.

Thanks for your email. Yes you can mount your speakers horizontally. You have to drill into the back and there are plates to wall mount. I mounted a set of mid speakers that way. I don't see an issue with it.

I tried to search for pictures of the speakers trying to see how they look from behind but i couldnt find any. If you want you can send me a picture of your speakers from the back and I'll compare them to the mounts/brackets and see if they will work. My email is fredward321@gmail.com

These would not be good speakers for wall mounting as all the connections and controls are on the back. Also, they were designed to be listened to from up close. If you mean like for computer monitors but on the wall, I guess you could mount small shelves on the wall and place them on the shelves.

It should not keep you from tilting the speakers up or down. It may limit the angle a bit depending on the length of the speaker. The ball mount has a good length on the piece that screws into the back of the speaker.

The speakers are angled in their housing, so when installing them you would position the speaker to aim toward the listening area. Furthermore, the tweeters can be aimed seperately from the woofer in any direction. Hope this helps.

The top mounting shelf is stationary. A slight tilt would be possible with the small pads provided to protect the speakers from scratching, vibrating off, etc.

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.

Yes , but u will have to mount them sideways and angle them down I may even do my surround back pair same way

Yes, of course. The wire is quite thick relative to the speakers, so they compel you to place the speakers on their sides. Some people appear confused by this, but in reality it is not a problem. The only real limitation with these speakers is the volume, which really isn't very strong.

I would recommend you mount them on the wall rather than using stands. They are fairly light and easy to hang and sound great on the wall behind your listening area as they radiate sound in all directions. I'm very happy with mine.

Dear Larry,I don't recommend drilling into the speaker cabinet. There are built-in brackets to mount them flush to a wall. If you're seeking to angle them then there are wall brackets that can grab the speaker like a vice and then allow you to pivot the speaker.Eric C

They will swivel all the way around or until your speaker hits the wall, whichever happens first. The swivel function is possible by not tightening the bolt and nut completely. I have mine adjusted this way and can turn the speakers easily right or left to focus them in different areas of my room. They work great.

They should, as there are various ways to mount the speakers, hope this helps

I did not buy my speakers from Amazon or through Amazon but I set mine on some small tables just to one side of my chairs. I don't see a way to mount them on the wall.

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. :)
