I'd like to use ES10 as my rear speakers (for 7.1 system). Can they be ceiling mounted? Would anyone be able to recommend any ceiling mounts for ES10s

Um mm hard to say....There nice speakers and nice looking...I think they would look a little funny on the ceiling. I would mount them on the wall. As I have mine that way....they look and sound great. Helps being a 3 way speaker as well.

The ES10 Manual says: The customer is responsible for proper selection and use of mounting hardware (available through hardware stores), to properly and safely wall-mount the speakers. THESE PRODUCTS ARE NOT INTENDED FOR CEILING MOUNTING.

Yeah, you have to install in the ceiling. I guess you could build a box to house them but at that point you should just get regular mounting speakers.

Thats an archtop... you should go for a bigsby b7... also vibramate only sells the mounting kit for the bigsby tremolo so you should buy both of them (bigsby b7 and vibramate v7)

A look at the back of the speakers reveal only one hole for Wall mounting only. The large jole with a smaller hole on the top for sliding a hanger or nail onto is weight dependant. I would not recommend ceiling mounting

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

Good Afternoon, to answer your question I would say that these are the BEST bookshelf speaker mounts for the money at the time, 25.00! for the pair. What a STEAL! after fixing my problem I had with them these turned out to be a gem!! They turn an easy 180 from side to side and also have a nice up and down tilt as well, I have my Polk RTI A1 speakers mounted on these which are quite large and these do the job well! I use blue tack to hold the speakers down just incase they don't lift or at an angle the tack holds the speakers down in their place. Good luck! I'm here if you have anymore questions.

Yes, there's one screw hole on the back of the Minx 10 for bracket mount. You should be able to find a screw to fit this hole, but make sure you'll find a right type of bracket in order to attach it firmly to the speaker (I would suggest buying the speakers first, look at the mounting hole/configuration, then find brackets that may work with it). If you want it mounted really close to the wall, I suggest to buy a pair of Cambridge Audio brackets to go with these Minx 10 speakers (http://www.amazon.com/Cambridge-Audio-Minx-Pivoting-Mounts/dp/B004B12J8A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1369106489&sr=8-3&keywords=cambridge+audio+minx). That's what I did, and it looks nice/compact. Good luck!

All of the speakers have mounting holes. You also have the option of placing the two front channel tall-boy speakers on circular stands that are about 10" in diameter. If you are wall-mounting these, just skip that part of the assembly... the speaker look great with or without the stands. All of the speakers have your typical mounting holes... a slot with the bottom half larger than the top.Hope that helps. I'll watch this thread... if you have any more questions, I'll be happy to answer them. I just installed this system the day after Christmas, and LOVE it so far.

These are excellent and very directional surround speakers that should work well with your current high-end stuff. I've been very happy with mine. Most sources - satellite TV, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV - anything except for BluRay - depend a lot more on the front speakers.

I didn't mount them, but the speakers were mounted to the wall using these: http://www.amazon.com/VideoSecu-Universal-Speaker-Brackets-Ceilings/dp/B001QNBUA4/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_y. I hope this helps.

Yes, I have installed them on the ceiling. Sounds great, is a good solution for a space of entertainment. You have to complement it with a good receiver, I recommend you Pioneer. The only bad thing is that the angle can not be adjustable. For example, I have done the false ceiling taking this in consideration, if you put it in a flat surface them you can not adjust the angle of the speakers.

Depend s on what your using them for...the es20 n 30 are bigger speakers and are mostly used for fronts...i think they would be over kill for surrounds. But the es10 are nice n slim and don't take up much room...they could be used for either fronts as they have the power n are 3 ways or they could be kick ass surrounds. They have a good freq rage as well. You can't beat the price either way you want to use them. Hope this helps

I would say YES. If I didn't already have "in-ceiling" rear speakers when we moved in to this house, I would have put these in place of those. Especially with the multi directional...this will ROCK for Rear in-ceiling.

Hi Tony, your analysis was very useful. I'm considering the 830's or 820's for my home theater setup. I'm currently using the floor-standing S-10 studio series without a subwoofer, but I now need to switch to wall-mounted front speakers due to the layout of my room.My questions are:1. If I use the 830's or the 820's as my front speakers, will I need a subwoofer?2. I already have a center speaker (non-JBL). Do I need to replace it?3. As an entirely different option, should I just replace my entire speaker set with one of the better JBL 5.1 packages? That way, I ensure compatibility. I'm thinking maybe the Cinema 500 system or the CS-6100BG package.Thanks in advance for your tips. Hi Tony, your analysis was very useful.

I just installed a pair SP-BS22-LR speakers on these mounts, and they work great. I used the side clamps with the included stick on cushions, and used the small speaker screws in the kit for the rear bottom of the speaker (Yes, that would void the speaker's warranty, but the screw is not very long at all), just to make sure they were not going anywhere. Very solid mounts. I too have them pointing down, as I am using them as rear surround speakers.

Yes, it is a pair of speakers. They are meant to be surround speakers more in a 7.1 setup but could still be used. Rear bookshelfs would be better for rears. Hope this helps. I have in my 7.1 setup and they work great!

I was also frustrated that mounting the speakers were not straight forward. I solved the problem by ordering the following mounts from Amazon: VideoSecu 2 Black Universal Satellite Speaker Mounts / Brackets for Walls and Ceilings 1EH.VideoSecu 2 Black Universal Satellite Speaker Mounts / Brackets for Walls and Ceilings 1EH (Black, 2 Pack)Good luck
