Help with SCMS

[classefan]

Hello all,

I am new here but long time lurker. Have a question about B&W SCMS speakers. I own a pair for rear channel use and love them. However, I recently moved and the new place does not have walls that allow the mounts to be installed. Anyone have any stand suggestions for these speakers or any other ideas?

Thanks

You may need to consider selling them and buying an in ceiling solution.

OmniMount sells a speaker mount (Model 30.0 WB) that works with the B&W SCM1. I assume it would work with the SCMS. They are approx $55 a piece.



You could probably arrainge it in such a way as to hang it from the ceiling. Keep in mind that the SCMS was designed to be close mounted to the wall so suspending it from the ceiling will change the tonality slightly. I suspect the close proximity to the wall gives it a bit more weight (bass) than it would have suspended in mid-air.

Thanks guys. Would not have even thought of the ceiling.

The omni mount mentioned does not work with the SCMS, which has a diff. mounting location... you have to use the stock brackets... or adapt an omnimount bracket.
