Can I mout the surround (rear) speakers horizontally?

Yes, they are the same as the center speaker. I would not use the included brackets, just the mounts already on the speaker (see the manual for details).

The speakers are identical in design and function for rear and surround. The center channel speaker is the same as the front and surround except that the "KEF" trademark is mounted horizontally on the midrange and vertically on the front and surround speakers. So yes, you can mount the surround speakers horizontally but the "KEF" trademark will be sideways in that configuration. There is NO impact on the mounting or the speaker function.

Thanks for your email. Yes you can mount your speakers horizontally. You have to drill into the back and there are plates to wall mount. I mounted a set of mid speakers that way. I don't see an issue with it.

The kit comes with hardware to mount the unit vertically or horizontally. I just laid mine on it's side and bolstered it with soft trunk items. Sounded beautiful.

Any suggestions for using the stands for the back (surround) speakers. The mounting setup is for the front speakers only. I'm thinking heavy duty velcro.

No provision. Space them as you would normal speakers. I had mine installed where I wanted them and the installer said the same thing. The audio just carries into more dead areas.Dennis

I would not think so. There are no sides or back to these speakers, only a front.

Umm... I don't know about these other comments, but to get the seperation of Left and Right Audio, the length of the SoundBar does matter. If you're using it just to upgrade the original TV Speakers, then no. If you want the surround effect which these SoundBars are meant for, yes. The more space between the SoundBar Speakers, the more Stereo Seperation (Sound from Left and/or Right) you get.Hope this helps!

I am not an expert but have recently done extra research. My short answer is ... yes. The left and right "surround" speakers of a 5.1 or 7.1 system are meant to convey mostly ambient sounds (background noises, some music, surround "effects"...). The sounds on these two surround channels are *mostly* non-specifically localized (i.e., you are not supposed to know exactly where they come from... even left or right in many cases). Thus, ideal surround speakers are designed to disperse or diffuse the sound using various techniques -- some techniques are better than others. Some speakers use out-of-phase "dipole" or "bipole" modes trying to reflect the sound, etc.. The catch is... with music and many newer mixed movies, the sound engineer remixes are now using the left and right surrounds more specifically sometimes... so you want some "directional" quality to the speakers as well (i.e., a car moving from left to right, or a door opening with wind on the right side...). Thus, it is good to find speakers that have a good blend of dispersion and directional quality, which the Klipsch RS-41, 42 are known to be. The REAR speakers, however, if you are using 7.1, are meant to be directional (not dispersed) as they are used to "anchor" sounds that the engineer intends to be specifically BEHIND the viewer (not "around" the viewer). There is not MUCH activity on the REAR channels, however, so smaller "bookshelf" directional speakers are recommended, and dispersion surround speakers would be a waste of money.

Yes - they are on a ball and socket mount so you can aim them up, down, right and left. Sound great as my rear speakers on our surround sound.

I have installed the center speaker horizontally and side speakers vertically. There are adjustable twitters on the, so you can position those correctly to the center of your room. Hope that helps.

Hi Its Ed, you can buy third party mounting accessory for this speakers in order to wall mout it. -Vincent

Yes. I use them as my front right and left because my other speakers are the smaller quintets which are now my surrounds.

Mine was placed horizontally as well because it is supposed to be a center speaker. To place on the wall may wish to consider setting up a wall shelf for it.

Dear Jamie,Thanks for your inquiry. All the speakers in the BDVN7200W are removable and movable. Since 4 of the speakers are floorstanding, you may not want to mount those, but you can certainly mount the center speaker. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

You could use them as fronts, however the speakers design is for dipole rear surrounds meaning they radiate their sound from the sides of the speaker cabinet and NOT from the front. You most likely would not be pleased using them as fronts. Definitive offers better solutions for fronts.

On the back are the wire connections and a small round "bass port" to give it a little bottom end base response. That said, I don't think you could (or would want to) mount them flush against the wall. I suppose if you found a mount that supported them from the bottom and left a little air gap behind it might work OR put them on a shelf?? They might be a bit large for wall mount. I would look for something slightly smaller for wall mount satellite speakers if available. My Polk's set on top of a large entertainment center from Ikea and point out into the living room. Anyway, hope that helps. Good luck! On the back are the wire connections and a small round "bass port" to give it a little bottom end base response.

You can mount the rear speakers on the wall if you want to but I have mine on speaker stands.

There is another model where there is two receiving units, one for each rear speaker. That might be what you are looking for.
