Can these be mounted to the wall? Would you recommend these for rear 5.1 surround speakers?

Yes mountable - They have that plastic female "keyhole" mount on the back of the speaker. Can't remember if there was a male part in the shipment. I think the pair would be great for the rears.

They can be mounted on the wall. I have them mounted with no problem. Keep in mind it is important to get a mount that will be able to handle the weight. Also it is important to consider the size of the threading for the mount. Before purchasing one. I bought the wrong size and had to buy an additional set.

i find these speakers quite good for their size.to mount them you need to purchase separate mounting brackets or use the keyhole screw mount for a fairly flush wall mount. they make excellent back channel surround speakers. i am very pleased w/ them.

Yes they can be mounted, but best sound quality from these great speakers is when placed on a solid surface.

If you are installing only two front and two rear speakers they should work fine. If you are planning a 5:1 surround system they do not perform well as center channel speakers.

Yes brackets are on the back.And yes I am using mine for surrounds.They must be vertical for surrounds.Google for tech explanation on sound.BTW I love my Bics.Real man speakers!

They're overkill for sides. That being said, I have 4 of them, fronts and sides. Work great. Very very clear, great sound. Slick wall mount as well. If you're setting them on a shelf be aware that they could, in theory, get knocked over as they're only 5" deep.

Sure you could use these as surround speakers. In fact I am using them as surround and it really sounds great. I have 5:1 sound system. Connect them to the two surround speaker connection in the back. Left to left speaker and right to right speakers. If you need more advise please let me know

Yes but not easily. They look like they have a keyhole mount but its a poor design. They are very light though and mine are hanging on inexpensive wall mounts with just a dab of silicone on each speaker.

they are big and you dont hang them. I use mine for rear surrounds because I dont have the equalizer they came with originally. they need a wall to reflect off. I just got a couple of cool tables at the thrift store and aimed so the 9 speaker array points and reflects off a wall. perfect surround rear speakers. I have JBL L100's for the front left right and a real nice vintage B&W; Center speaker with a old school Velodyne sub. King Kong never roared so good. I like those old vintage speakers. Head room for days

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 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

Great set of speakers, but a more expensive option for rear speakers. Polk make several other in wall options that would do the trick at a fraction of the cost. I did a full 7.1 with these guys as the front and Polk in wall for the others. You won't be sorry with the choice.

No provision is made for wall mounting. The speaker has a rear port, which you wouldn't want to block plus the cable connectors. However, I mounted mine with "VideoSecu One Pair of Side Clamping Speaker Mounting Bracket with Tilt and Swivel for Large Surrounding Sound Speakers MS56B 3LH." About $35.00 on Amazon.com. A low cost compared to the price of these excellent speakers. I'd recommend getting the matching JBL center speaker. The sounds, when combined with a 15" subwoofer are super. With these heavy speakers, I used wood screws to mount them to the bracket, since I didn't feel secure with just the clamping action. There are holes beneath and sides of the brackets ready for screws. Make sure you use heavy lag bolt to mount the brackets to a stud, not just the dry wall.

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.

I use them as rear speakers actually. you can make these speakers as rear or from as long as you have a receiver to connect them to.one thing I found out was that it still would give you 2.1 surround sound and not 5.1 because of the way a/v receiver senses them. I use them at home with my tv and it doesn't make difference and sounds pretty good. also acoustimass is not actually a subwoofer but it is kind of a subwoofer. performance is a little bit down if you are expecting some boom boom woofer performance. Just FYI.

If it's bass you want, theses are NOT the way to go. They are ok for maybe 7.1 surround but I would not use them as your main rear speakers.

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

If you care about the sound quality and imaging, heck no, you will not even think about wall mounting them. These are not speakers to use if you're cramped for space or want to save space. They aren't super finicky about placement, but as it goes with any bipole/dipole speaker, you need space between it and the rear wall for the best performance.
