Sound Opinion - Spk Stand, Spk Mount and Spk Bookshelf
Is there a difference in the sound quality if we place speakers on the Stands or Wall Mounts or an open shelf mounted on the wall specifically to keep the speaker, assuming they are all placed at the same height and direction and they are satellite speakers.

Try it for yourself and see what you think.
Without a doubt it make's a huge difference with my Klipsch and Paradigm's.......Pat -
A lot of speakers change their sound depending on how much air space there is around it. So keeping it close to the wall on a bracket will sound very different compared to a speaker on a stand standing away from the wall a bit. It's usually a bit tighter and smaller sound stage when on wall brackets.B&W 804S/Velodyne SPL-1000R/Anthem MRX720Comment

Saurabh, something else to consider is that if you wall mount a rear-ported speaker (effectively blocking the port) you'll get a much different sound than what you expect, or probably want. Also, building a shelf on a wall for a speaker will work okay for surrounds but I wouldn't recommend doing that with your mains. That most likely will put the unit too near a major boundary effect (the wall). Go with stands for the mains.
IMO, of course.

A rear ported speaker too close to the wall will have loose midbass, a bit boomy so to speak.
I mounted my five monitors on stands around 1' from the wall. No problems. I suspect a tower with larger/more drivers that move more air would need to be even further out (if rear ported).~NickComment

Does anyone have wall mounted small bookshelf speakers as rear surrounds and how do they sound? I was thinking of any examples but especially the B&W DM600s. Was considering this as a solution for limited room space and can't use in-wall speakers.
Thanks. Russ -
I'm wondering how far everyone has their speakers from the back wall? By this
I mean from the back of the speaker to the wall. My room has a 6 inch ledge around it that is just above the top of my 804S. I currently have them 16 inches from the outside of the ledge or a total of 22 inches... -
I have pair of 803S that I am struggling with as far as placement and resulting soundstage and detail. My room is such that conventional placement giving me optimal sound stage leaves the speakers 40" from side wall AND backwall, which is a problem according to everything I read. The result for... -
I own a pair of B&W CMW 500 in wall speakers-- had them for about 7 years, no problem but found out that sound does not come out at low volume recently unless I tap once on the front grid-- anyone had that problem???? -
I thought I'd put this in a separate thread from my Apartment Acoustics thread.
I've been under the impression that when you have bookshelf speakers on a good solid steel stand, even weighted in the tubes with sand, that they should be on spikes to stand them on the floor and "isolate"...
