Free Standing vs in-wall Speakers Are there in-wall speakers which can really compare to free standing speakers? Moving into a new home and considering a new home theatre/audio system

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???

most in wall speakers will sound good but adding a sub in the wall lacks the punch i was looking for so i went an floor model.it also depends on how loud you listen to your music/movies.in walls wont give the clear sound at higher levels from my exp.i am no super audiofile but i have installed many a system for home owners....im a remod. contractor.floor speakers just perform better for me good luck my friend

Nope. These can't be wall mounted. Each speaker has 4 drivers, 3 in the front and 1 in the back for larger soundstaging as they are bipolar speakers. They are meant for desktop use only.

Greetings and thanks for your question. I'm not aware of a published review directly comparing the two. My best advice is to by speakers (soundbars) from manufacturers who are speaker specialists rather than those which make everything including TVs and CD players. The Sonos is a truly wonderful sounding bar. Thanks again.

Hi, your question is a good one. I can not tell the difference speakers on their side or standing up when they are playing. I really think it is just what a person likes(prefers). I hope you will do what you like best. Take care, Ron

I wish that I could help you out. I'm using the speaker's from the home theater system that I already had hooked up. There are 100watt wall and ceiling shelve size speaker's. I do believe that the speaker's you do use, will have to be speaker's for surround,(FL>Center>FR>RL>RR&gt;) for 5.1 system. The rear speaker's are also known as(SL>SR). If you use just any kind of speaker's, like for stereo. Then you wont get the separation, any true affect of surround sound. I wish that I could help you out more, and hope that this will help you some what. Nick I wish that I could help you out.

In Wall.... they are a little smaller in over all size and you need to be sure that there are no hidden wires running through where you choose to install the cabinet but I believe the in wall look much more professional and add more value, make sure you buy a real wood cabinet they look nice.

They can be both. All speakers came with a wall mount and legs to stand them. You attach what you want to use. Wall mount, you attach the bracket to the wall and screw the speaker to the bracket. Stand, simply screw the legs into the speakers and set them where you want.

I've got cats in the house and I have the speakers about as close to the wall and to my entertainment center (so they don't get behind the center itself!). Bass reflex response is excellent, even at close wall proximity, though I would say better low frequency response would result if they were pulled out a little. I've had these speakers for quite some time and they've been an excellent replacement for my old Cerwin Vega(s). Hope this helps you out.

I would not recommend a speaker stand for these speakers. I tried, and it was very unstable. You will need a heavy duty stand if you still want to go that route. Great speakers!

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 didn't see any wall mount in the box (although it may have been there) - suggest home depot - if the wall mount included (or not) is inadequate - they will be able to hook you up with a variety of mounting options at a very reasonable cost. The speakers rock.

These speakers were designed for Surround sound. They come with picture like hangers for wall mounting. Or you could buy mounting brackets and hang them from a wall or fly them from the ceiling. They really should not be used as the main right and left speakers which is probably why you want speaker stands for these? I would buy tower speakers instead for left and right if you are going to waste the footprint space anyway and put them on stands. They are good sounding speakers, just not for what I think you intend?

hello from caracas, i never had seen one of this speakers as wall mounted, but everything is possible only you must to do use of ingenious and manual skills, anyway this unit is a pa system (public address) and it's the main use of this equipment, requires ac power, therefore is not comfortable wall mounted use, you must to buy or manufacture a heavy duty base for it. at rear side there is a big screw like a 14 mm, that i believe you can use for anchor it to the wall. i recommend you buy a lightweight speakers, may be surround speakers that there are more easily wall mounted. greetings and god bless you. hello from caracas, i never had seen one of this speakers as wall mounted, but everything is possible only you must to do use of ingenious and manual skills, anyway this unit is a pa system (public address) and it's the main use of this equipment, requires ac power, therefore is not comfortable wall mounted use, you must to buy or manufacture a heavy duty base for it. at rear side there is a big screw like a 14 mm, that i believe you can use for anchor it to the wall. i recommend you buy a lightweight speakers, may be surround speakers that there are more easily wall mounted. greetings and... » Read More hello from caracas, i never had seen one of this speakers as wall mounted, but everything is possible only you must to do use of ingenious and manual skills, anyway this unit is a pa system (public address) and it's the main use of this equipment, requires ac power, therefore is not comfortable wall mounted use, you must to buy or manufacture a heavy duty base for it. at rear side there is a big screw like a 14 mm, that i believe you can use for anchor it to the wall. i recommend you buy a lightweight speakers, may be surround speakers that there are more easily wall mounted. greetings and god bless you. « Show Less

Mounts to a wall or a TV stand or stands free. Doesn't mount to a TV cabinet. Also I am aware of "known issues" and have not had any problems. System sounds great.

Remember to screw in to an 2x4? Its heavy and try to put a bit of foam or something to take the vibration of from going into the wall? Also center speakers are made to b put in front of th listener's or angle ur speaker down ? This is very important ! And vrak in the speaker for 40-50 hrs of mid high volume? Face the speaker 1 inch from the wall and turn it up for a while. This speaker sucks until u brake the 8 inch speakers in? This is important! !!!! Have fun ,and enjoy !!!!&#128515;

Speakers aren't designed for wall mounting. Plug connections are on the back. You could put them on a shelf. You would need to come up with your own method to get them mounted to a wall.

I would say no. There are no mounting points, so unless you built a shelf for each speaker there would be no way to wall mount them. Plus the power and audio connectors project a good inch or more straight out of the right speaker requiring clearance. And they clearly have no connection points for a mounting braket.
