Can they be positioned vertically without effecting the sound? Does it matter which way you set them?

We do not recommend this as the dispersion pattern of the tweeter will be affected. Also, the Bose logo will be sideways.

They're on the vertical end...I'm sure you could drill holes horizontally if needed. Not sure how you would plug the other holes though. Good luck!

Yes - they are on a ball and socket mount so you can aim them up, down, right and left. Sound great as my rear speakers on our surround sound.

I believe they are meant to be facing inward looking at the setup pics, though since the speakers are identical there's no reason you couldn't swap them to have the subs facing outward. I have them facing inward myself.

The speakers are not covered, so the sound quality does not seem to be effected. That said, the sound is somewhat directed. If the sound level is low, and you are listening to music or a podcast, you want to point the bottom of the phone in your general direction, not away from you. At higher sound levels, it doesn't seem to matter much.

The included mounts would likely only work on the wall, unless you wanted to mount them with the speakers pointed straight down. The mounts are designed to go on a vertical surface and the speakers slide down onto them. You can swivel them left and right, but there's no way to angle them up or down.

they cannot be aimed unless a custom application was made or created to allow this. The speaker aims 90 degrees to whatever surface it is mounted to. You cut a hole and the speaker basically clamps on to the plaster or drywall with 4 screws and clips. Very easy install and i installed them directly above our heads

If the dimensions and weight of the sub-woofer are within the specifications of the mounting bracket then it should not be a problem. However, sound waves from a sub-woofer are much less directional than higher frequency sound waves. There should not be a need to point a sub-woofer or place it above or at the ear level of the listener.

Speakers should not be angled in toward the center. Rather, they should be spaced apart so that the stereo imaging is ideal in the listening position.

As with all the other responses, mine are installed vertically. Since they mount in from the back side, you'll be able to spin them 360-degrees from the front and align their position before you tighten them down (again from the back).

I'm only using them as left/right speakers. I guess it would depend if they're wall mounted or would you be using the stand. Mine are wall mounted and I wouldn't want the center speaker to stick out any further than the left/right speakers...or even the TV. I would check the depth of the Motion 6/8 to gauge how much deeper they are than the slms...you're gonna get great sound with either...now it's just a matter of appearance...hope this helps.

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

the foam is cut horizontaly at an angle so you can pick what direction you want them to face. I have them pointing up from a desk. You do this by turning the foam backwards so the retaining lip is at the rear. Then I just cut it to the depth of the speaker

Yes and no. There are leg "extenders" which increase the height of the unit. They were in place when my unit was received. If they are removed, the bottom of the unit sits about ½' above whatever surface it is placed upon.Also, there are two down-firing subwoofers in the bottom of this unit, so placing it flat on top of anything would (my opinion) attenuate the bass severely.

I don't know. But, why would you want to. They are stabilizers to control impact of sound vibrations. If placed directly on a surface you increase distortion.

They can be surface mounted with the provided attachments or flush mounted. They are ok for the money but if you want really good sound go to a higher end tweeter
