Remove the Tallboy stands: Can I remove the speaker stands in the front and just sit those front speakers on a shelf?

Yes. In fact, they don't come attached in the box. You attach them if you want.

back speakers are wall mount or on stands, the center needs a shelf to sit on

No, the speakers will sit well on top of the stands without drilling. However, for security if there is a danger of the speakers being bumped off the stands, you could put screws through the bottom of the stands into the speakers.

Somewhat. The natural position for this speaker stand when installed causes the speaker to tilt/face at a slightly downward angle. The angle can be increased using the adjustment screws on the reverse of the bracket. The front mounting rail hangs over the lip of the set well enough so that if you raise the rear using the adjustment screws on the back of the bracket you still have enough of the front rail extending over the front edge of your set to grip properly and hold the shelf firmly.

I didn't, but my speakers are not so large as to seem unstable on the stands. Also, drilling into the speaker cabinets may effect their integrity, and sound quality. If I was worried about them tipping off the stands, I would get larger stands that offer a wider stance thus greater stability.

David, the mounts are fine for the speaker stands. The stands come in a set of two and with that a set of two screws/mounts etc. There are two types of screws available directly with the speaker, and the first one I tried fit fine. :)There is an L shaped piece of metal that supports the speaker, and the speaker wires can go around it. Please contact me directly (is that possible here?) and I can send you pictures!

You can remove the shelves. The height of the shelves is not adjustable, however.

I don't think you can, but it is possible to pry open the top and remove the speaker. (It's right behind the little sound holes on the side of it.) Works fine without sound now.

Unless the stand can be removed I dont think so. Although it can probably be attached to those wall hanger thingies. (Sorry I dont know what they are called.)

Yup. That is what I have on mine. I used the speaker spikes included with the stands and everything works well. I've bumped them slightly a few times while cleaning and while they have rocked a little but I have yet to knock one over. I am happy with them.

All the shelves just lay on top of the rectangular frames so it's possible to remove them (or adjust their height). You can also use them as lower sets of shelving as shown is figure #2. Just be careful though since the shelving may be top heavy if only the upper shelves are used, especially when storing heavy items.

yes. you should be able to make a direct replacement. they sound very natural and balanced and have even improved over time. i have them in my 7.1 surround system and just took my previous speakers and put them on the wall over the tv and put these as the main front speakers on either side of the center speaker and it sounds great. they have plenty of timber but aren't bass heavy which is perfect for a media system since you have the subwoofer.

Yes. You can also remove shelves if you ever need more room for larger figures.

All of the speakers, including the two larger front speakers have mounting brackets on the rear of the speaker boxes (not including the subwoofer of course). If mounting in sheetrock you would need an anchor fastener for sheetrock so it's solid, but you can use a study screw to hang them from. The brackets are about 2" from the top of each speaker and could be moved if necessary. We happen to have one spot where we had to mount a speaker sideways due to space constraints and it wasn't a problem, we just unscrewed the bracket, realigned it and reattached it in a different spot.

Normally, all you do with the tall speaker stand bases is run the wires through them up to the speakers, and mount the speakers on top. I see no reason you couldn't mount the speakers somewhere else, but you still have to run the wires to them and you have to mount them somehow. I think there are holes on the speakers that can be used to with mounting screws.

The shelves are removable but as far as width of your speaker make sure it is small enough to sit in width of shelf. The dimension of shelf should be able to be viewed

Yes, you can by leaving one shelf out. My speakers are 15" tall, 8" wide, 12" deep. You could fit up to a 10.25" wide speaker. Hope this helps.
