It's been a long time since I've posted at AA. I've finally collected all of the components to have a 5.1/6.1 HT. My main problem is speaker placement. I am putting the HT in the living room where the 2-channel system is and will remain separate. I already have my 2-channel bookshelf speakers on stands and do not want to add another pair of stands for the HT speakers. I decided to mount all of the HT speakers on the wall. The equipment I am using is as follows:Speakers: 6 Aura Sound LSB-527M (rear-ported 2-way speaker with 5.25" mid-woofer)
Receiver: Yamaha RX-V1500 7.1 channel receiver
Source: Toshiba SD-1600 DVDNow, am I going to have a problem wall mounting rear-ported speakers? I don't have the mounts yet, but I imagine the space between the speaker and the wall will be about 3-4". I will be using Omnimount speaker brackets. This HT will not have a dedicated center channel, but I've read that this is not a negative. My wife is not all that thrilled about mounting these speakers half-way up the walls, but I've told her this is really our only option. Any advice and tips from others who have wall-mounted speakers in the HT system would be great. Thanks.

Hi, not much to work with here, and most likely the reason for no other replies.
Do you know what distance the speakers are *supposed* to be placed from the wall? They'll work at 3"-4", but less than optimal, I'm thinking. Between 12"-24" would be more realistic. You can check this without drilling holes in the wall 1st, by using those stands and wife/friend to move them, while you're at the listening position.
Is ceiling mounted an option? Maybe something like 1/2" water pipe (painted to match walls) with a flange type of ceiling mount, to extend the Omnimounts/whatever, down to the proper level?
Scrap this, if we're dealing with SAF, but throw it at her anyways.
Why did you get rear-ported anyways? Still new? Return option?
Ironwoods,
Thanks for the reply. I bought the speakers for cheap on ubid.com a few years back and they have been in storage ever since. I got three pairs of very good speakers for less than the price of one pair of similar new speakers.I received the speaker brackets over the weekend and mounted them on the wall yesterday. They sound better than expected, though not as good as when they had 2 ft. behind them to breath (bass is lacking). I may consider plugging the ports to see if it makes the sound better or worse (probably). I'm glad I went with this option b/c they look better on the wall, and the brackets put them where they should be for a 5.1 system. I'm willing to live with less bass due to having a sub. Thanks again for your input.
