I need speakers to mount high on walls, about 10.5' high. Can these be aimed down sufficiently for that use?

Wall mounting should be used to project sound out, not down. If you want to project sound down, you should mount the speakers in the ceiling. With that said, if you would like to still mount speakers in the wall and project sound down, these will probably be one of your best bets. The main speaks is built on an angle so you can position the main speaker to project somewhat downward and the tweeter is on a swivel so you can face it even more downward. I mounted these speaker in my cathedral ceiling because of their versatility. But again, wall mount is designed to project sound out, not down. I hope this helps.

yes and they sound great as well. I fully recommend them for the surround sound. I am using them as my fronts, rears and center channels. Sound Great.

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.

These will work nicely as main (L-R)speakers. Elevating off of the floor with stands, on bookshelf, etc. will be a consideration for most. They lack deep bass, but sound fine never the less. A subwoofer can fill in if desired. I would suggest avoiding excessive bass enhancement settings at elevated power input levels, to prevent damage, and improve sound quality.

Yes. You'll be fine so long as you don't try to throw the whole output at them. Keep in mind that these are rear ported, so they should be left at least several inches off the wall for them to sound their best. If you plan to hang them right on the wall, then you should go with sealed cabinet or front ported speakers.

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.

I'm not totally sure, but I honestly doubt it. I hung a set of Boston Acoustic CR6 monitor speakers on them that I doubt are 20, and I'm waiting to see if they will be on the floor some morning. I used 4 75lb rated twist-in wall anchors on the base plate into drywall but feel nervous. The total assembly sits out about 6" from the wall and feels really "boingy" to me. I have them tilted down 5 - 10 degrees. So far they have been fine for a week, and they are up high enough so hopefully no one will mess with them. I worry that any sudden change like someone pushing up and then just releasing might have them come down. Mounted to wood or masonry they should be just fine, other than the round extension from the base plate could be a little more sturdy. I also did one receive one box of two in my shipment, but that's all I needed.

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.

As long as the appropriate anchors are used, then yes. Use the hardware that comes with it to anchor to ceiling and then mount to speaker. They will just hang from the ceiling then. Good luck!

I wouldn't recommend a concrete wall with these. They need a hollow space to deliver sound, so a solid wall won't work. Depth wise you are looking at 3 or 3.5 inches. These also mount by clamping to drywall. You would need to work that out too. Best bet would be to create a box for the speaker and mount that to the wall.

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.

There would not seem to be any restrictions in locating/mounting these little gems. As with all speakers, location will impact the sound quality--positively or negatively.

In fact, these speakers do have "keyhole" wall mounts that are 10 inches apart. As a result, they are very easy to mount on a wall.

Yes, they could. You need to buy the mounting bracket that comes with it. I installed them to my 2X4's for extra support behind the drywall. GREAT SPEAKERS, 6 Years and still THUMPING

I don't know what your dementions are but our speakers were a pretty good size and not extactly light in weight. We have had them mounted on the wall (make sure its secure and not just in sheetrock) use special anchors or a stud for at least 2 years or more with no problems.

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.

I mounted mine under the room ledge and they sound great. I mounted them vertically and the bass reflects off the overhang. Great outdoor speakers with really good sound. I have one each on the corners and 2 round ceiling speakers centered on the lanai. They work great together

these speakers are specifically designed for wall installation. speakers for ceiling are different by design and installation. therefore, i do not suggest
