Wall Mounted Hi-Fi speakers.

[admin_exported]

Hi,

I need to replace my existing 2 channel stereo speakers (Musical Technology Kestrel floor mounts) with something that takes up a little less space. Ideally I'm looking to get something that mounts on the wall and was wondering if anyone has used or could recommend some specific wall mount stereo speakers?

Searching the web there are quite a few wall mount speakers but they seem to be for multi channel setups. I'm looking for a 2.0 setup. Room is rectangular and measures around 4mx5m. Only feature is a fireplace and chimney in the middle of one of the longest walls.

Any help greatly appreciated,

Jeff

Only Hi-Fi speakers I can recall being designed specifically for wall-mounting, are the Spendor SR5.

Depends on budget, but my usual recommendations of AVI Neutron V and PMC DB1 fit the bill....

My ProAcs are pretty good on the wall, although they are even better on stands.

B&W 686s come with wall mount fittings maybe 685s do as well

Thanks for the input. Probably looking in the price range of £300 - £800. Current system is an Arcam DV88 on CD/DVD duty and an Arcam A85 amplifier.

Cheers,

Jeff

In which case my recommendations stand (400-800), as does Joel's of Proac Tablette Reference 8 (specifically the fabulous signature variant), especially since he has them on the end of an A85.........

I think you'd find the B&W 685's to be a good partner to the Arcam amp as well

Here I go again...

I think in-wall may be a better choice.

Not sure I'd spend £925 on them if the source is a DVD player though. And if not biamping then the AVI Neutrons are a wonderful speaker, I've heard the IV and was very impressed.
