Wall mounting is going to be very difficult as there is not much of rear wall space to mount them. I have a TV nook on one side (with no wall above it) and I have a fireplace with tile surrounding it on the right. The only strip of wall (8" wide x 5ft across) is above the TV nook on the left. If I wall mount the speakers, the speakers will not be aligned.

The other option may be to mount the left speaker on top of the TV nook extending forward and the right speaker above the tile. This will get the speakers aligned with good separation. But with this, the tweeter height will be above my listening position.
This setup may look like this (L1 R1 being the speakers )-

<------- open space -5ft------->|<--------- wall 5ft---------| |
| | |
_L1____________________________|____________R1______________| shelves | | | |
| wall | | 2ft |
| ____________________________|<---------- Tile ---------->| |
| | |
| | TV nook |
| |
| |
| |

Is there any way to accomplish the wall mounting in this situation?
