question about DS7

[drgolfnut]

I realize that the DS7s are designed as wall hanging speakers. But does anyone know if I can still get quality sound by placing them on a stand or table? Drilling holes to run speaker cable doesn't sound like something I want to experiment with.

Thanx for an A/V newb.

I have my left DS7 on a wall and right DS7 near a column (no wall). The speakers will work but you might lose some of the dipole effect by not placing them on a wall. Unless you think you actually will need to use the DS7 in dipole and monopole mode, you are better off with the 705. You might have difficulty finding stands that will raise the tweeter 2 to 3 feet above your ears (this is the recommended height for side or surround speakers).

Thanks for the input. I hadn't thought about the exact height that I would need to raise them. I had originally wanted to use 705's up front and back, but someone suggested that the DS7s would be much better. The dipole would be ideal for surround sound.
