Hi all,

 Does anyone have some of these speakers built into the wall, I've seen them billed as being able to have disceet or ultra disceet??

But from the mounting brackets in the manual i just can't see how you'd be able to mount them in the wall.. 

 

Regards

The speakers slide down onto the brackets. Cable has to come in through a hole in the bracket.

In-wall mounting is possible but fiddly I'd say. Plasterboard wall preferable to brick, you'd need to chop a lot out and extra on top to allow the speakers to go in and then slide down.

I've seen them flush on a p/board wall and they do look good. Building a wall around them would be best.

BTW you'd need a sub with them.

How would you build a wall around a £500 speaker? you'd be terrified of damaging it, and if you did.. You wouldn't be able to get it out again.. It's the centre one that bothers me.. that would have to slide on from the side sliding down on a bracket could work with my set up, but slide across is a BIG NoNo

ÿI have the sub PV1 ÿÿand 3 MT1's on the rearÿ

ÿIs their some kind of guide that gives you a good reference point, to show just how high the plasma should sit, from you seating arrangements?

Ideally the screen should be at eye level

Agreed. I have mine set at eye level (Draw an imaginary line horizontally through the screen. This should be at eye level).

To be honest if i put it at eye level, it would defeat the object of mounting on the wall.. i'd just buy a stand i guess

You could buy a stand, but wall mounting looks cooler.

Yeah would be difficult, i have seen flush mounting and they look good but cant see hoe they fixed them.
