Wall Mounting B&W 685

[bruno]

Hi,

Has anybody tried to wall mount these speakers? Being as deep as they are, I imagine it could look rather weird. Pictures, anybody?

thanks

bruno,

Best thing I could think of is to install a shelf on a wall that these could sit on. I don't ever recall speakers that size being wall mounted.

I made some shelves quick.... They look crap because they where only suppose to be a temporary solution until I got proper wall mounts. This hasn't happened yet. I have my eyes on these though: http://www.btech-usa.com/bt77.html

I use to have my older B&W 600 S3 wall mounted. I used B-Tech B77 wall mounts and it worked really well. I always was scared of them falling, but it came out alright. I really liked it. If you're interested, I still have a pair in mint condition that has been in the box for forever.

I think I used these for my 600 Rears.

Oh, I found my pictures of my 600 on the B-tech wall mounts... I'll post them later today.

B Tech wall mounts

Have 601s mounted on these mounts.
I reversed the cradle that holds the speaker.
My reason was to put the center of gravity more squarely on or behind
the pivot point (gets the more of the speaker closer to the wall).
This allows you to tilt the speakers downward.
When stud mounted the mounts will let me hang from them.
That is my confidence test.
Nice looking and substantial.
Not sure if the adjusting bolt will have the length to hold a
602. But I'm sure it can be done. Their weight is not an issue.
Just my 2 cents.

I found the pictures.
This is what my 600's had looked like on the wall mounts.

Kind of an old thread but I just mounted mine, not too crazy about the way it looks, but it's not terrible either:

Adam, that's a great looking room. You should post some pictures in the B&W Picture thread.
