Where have you been positioning the rear speakers in a 5.1 setup (rear wall, ceiling mount, side mount or stands?)

Hello! I set them up on the wall at 5 feet high using a fully posseable mount.

The rear speakers have a round threaded hole in the back if you want to use it but they come with wall mounts.

The speakers I bought (which have excellent sound, by the way), have a built in slot on the back. I just put screws in the wall and slipped the speakers over the screws. Couldn't have been easier. Perhaps the newest require mounts, but I believe they are optional and only needed if you want to angle your speakers some special direction. These are cleverly designed so you have several hanging options without the need for additional mounting hardware.

I used wall mount for front high speakers, and other four (2 front, 2 surround) speakers are on wooden speaker stand I bought thru J&R; and they stand up strong and tall. It's setup pretty well in room.

You could use these for your front L/R speakers. There's no way that I would use then from my rear or my surround speakers. They're too big for surround or rears. You didn't mention your receiver model. Of course, if it's only a 5.1 receiver, you still need to upgrade to a 7.1 receiver.

I don't now if the original question is the same as mine but I'll throw in my question...have a couple old rectangle shaped Infinity speakers that are mounted up in the corners near the ceiling. They're on mounts that have a 4 way pivot so I can point them right into the middle of the room where the listener will be most of the time. The Bose 161 has a 2 way pivot mount so I can either do up and down or side to side depending on which direction I mount it. What's the best way to mount this speaker for the best sound in the middle of the room?

Mine are mounted horizontally - absolutely no issue. I have a slight overhang to tuck them under, but they are very exposed otherwise. No issues. They look and sound like new after two nasty winters. I had Definitive indoor surrounds and was indifferent. These are excellent for outdoor speakers. (Check Amazon's Warehouse for any good deals on them. If you score a deal, grab them and don't look back.)

the rear & side speakers have a single nail slot mounted on the wooden back. I guess you could screw into the back if you wanted to attach a stand or some sort of plate.

I've got it hooked up in a 7.1 configuration using existing rears as back surround. If you use the right terminals on the speaker, it will combine drivers for you to set it up the way you need to- using existing surrounds.

I've owned these for almost 4 years and they are more than appropriate for a 5.1 surround. I've used them in a 7.2 surround system as rear high, front high, side high, and rear low. they deliver man. Buy em. You won't regret it.

Marcus...thanks for the input. Not the response I really wanted to hear, but the one I expected to get. I'l let you know which way I go. Anyone have a pro position on in-wall speakers???

Speakers can be mounted very easily via a mounting hole provided on the back side. They can also be stood on the floor either vertical or horizontal

I can't really compare the new to the old however, I will say that they are an excellent choice for rear surround speakers in a 5.1 Home Theater setup. I have had several other rear surround speakers over the past few years and these for the money, are tough to beat. The build quality seems solid and there is good sound clarity. I have been very pleased with them so far.

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!

Thanks for the reply. I see your point about hooking the sub through to the main speaker outs and then to the L/R fronts. I guess that would be pushing it quite a bit. Thanks for the tips on the powered sub. At $80, I can't really go wrong. One last thing: If I wanted to forgo the rear speakers, could the sub be hooked up to the surround outs or am I letting my complete ignorance show here? Thanks again.

One would normally mount speakers in the way they are designed to be mounted. These are intended to be wall mounted to get their best performance. I'm sure Def Tech has some other surround speakers intended for stand mounting and I suggest going that route for the best performance.

I use the Infinity Primus series. I have the c351 center speaker, the p163 floor standing for fronts, the p153 for book shelves. I have a 7.1 system, I still use my onkyo speakers for surround, and the onkyo for base. I will soon be purchasing the Infinity base, and the p143 for surround. The Infinity series are by far the best, I have tried Polk,and Klipsch,they don
