How did you guys mount this as a center speaker? Horizontal or vertical? If horizontal, any issues mounting between studs since it's almost 24 inches?

I mounted it horizontal. I had to cut part of the stud. It wasn't an issue at all beyond cutting. Took a few minutes to do

I just used it for rear speaker probably would not fit 16 inch studs as a center speaker

The mount lines up with 12 or 16" spaced studs. Mine were 24" apart so I had to improvise a bit.

Dear Jamie,Thanks for your inquiry. All the speakers in the BDVN7200W are removable and movable. Since 4 of the speakers are floorstanding, you may not want to mount those, but you can certainly mount the center speaker. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

Rear ported speakers, such as these, require that there be about a foot or so between the rear of the speaker and the wall. You can mount the speakers any way you like but you'll loose some bottom end.

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

There is NO mounting bracket/hardware on the back of the R150. I recently purchased two pairs of these speakers to use as my surrounds and backs in my dedicated home cinema. I used 6-inch steel 'L' brackets (a.k.a. corner braces - the kind you can find in Home Depot's hardware aisle) to mount them to the wall (secured to studs, of course). The 'L' bracket has three holes on each 'leg'. I measured so that I left about a 1" gap between the speaker back and the wall, and I drilled one small hole in the bottom of the speaker and secured the speaker to the 'L' bracket using one short and wide wood screw through the outer-most bracket hole. The speakers are mounted about 24" above ear height when seated, and provide awesome ambient and discrete sound for 7.1 movie soundtracks. A bonus of these speakers is that the drivers are arranged woofer on top and tweeter on bottom - it puts the higher-pitched sounds closer to ear level, though not much of a noticable difference.

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.

That would actually be your best set up, all 5 (or 7) speakers being the same; especially up front. If you were rip down the theatre or Imax screen, that is exactly what you would see. All mounted vertically, do not purposely mount center channel horizontally if possible, creates all kinds or audio physics havoc. The invention of the horizontal center channel is a joke to the high end audio world.

The center speaker can lay omits side. If you lay the other 4 speaker on there side they will point down about 15 degrees. They are awesome sounding speaker!

The sound is great from these speakers. A sub would round out the lows perfectly. I assume you would mount these vertically since they are too wide to fit between typical framing 16" O.C. Overall great product, I used one as a center channel with the Yamaha 6.5" dual tweeter angled woofer for in ceiling surrounds. Amazing!

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

I'm also interested in knowing if anyone found an actual answer... My center channel speaker is just under 31 lbs. Has anyone mounted anything this heavy or heavier? Thanks!

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.

I have the larger 8" version of the. I simply used the "u" shaped bracket that the manufacturer offers and attached with anchors that are appropriate for the wall you are hanging them on. I hung mine on brick in a horizontal position (speakers side by side instead of one above the other).

On the back are the wire connections and a small round "bass port" to give it a little bottom end base response. That said, I don't think you could (or would want to) mount them flush against the wall. I suppose if you found a mount that supported them from the bottom and left a little air gap behind it might work OR put them on a shelf?? They might be a bit large for wall mount. I would look for something slightly smaller for wall mount satellite speakers if available. My Polk's set on top of a large entertainment center from Ikea and point out into the living room. Anyway, hope that helps. Good luck! On the back are the wire connections and a small round "bass port" to give it a little bottom end base response.

You need to find the wall studs before mounting.They should be 16" or24 on center.

Mine is right in front center of TV. That was what I was looking for barely 4" high it fits below the screen without getting in the way like bulkier taller center channel speakers. I have a subwoofer as it part of my 7.1 speaker system with 2 Cerwin Vega bookshelf a up front and 4 Boston acoustic cubes as surrounds. Relatively inexpensive but great sounding system with my Sony 7.1 receiver.
