Wall mount setup for HT

[HifiAudio]

Free field setup is supposed to be better for stereo setup wrt imaging/soundstaging.
But does it matter much in HT audio tracks ?
Will wall mount be good enough , as thats quite elegant in a living room.

Primus 153 looks like one good option (say 5 x p153)
What would be other good options around same price range (max $100 each) ?

Thanks...

You should be just fine with wall mounting, specially with front ported speakers like Primus 153.

I would look for mounts like these: http://www.amazon.com/VideoSecu-Clamping-Mounting-Surrounding-MS56B/dp/B000X9O8SI

Ok.. Yes mounts can be looked at as well..

At their once sale price of $100 each JBL Studio 230 also look to be great option , though rear port could be a problem...

For P153 no mounts should be required as they have the keyhole mounts

With mounts like I posted you can angle your speakers much easier. With keyhole mounting that is not so easy to do.

With the Videosecu mounts - that could still work out - however, may be
awhile before that sale comes again.

For $50 more per pair - the NHT SuperOne 2.1 is a good option for a tight
budget, and Still on sale

These are on sale too and well liked: http://www.nhthifi.com/Bookshelf-speaker-SuperZero-2-0_2#image-5

For $485 for 5 speakers - the Wave Crest Audio HVL-1 should be looked at.

How about this :

On good day good sale price P153 should be good enough as surrounds or rears (mounted directly using screws)
One can chose from multiple options for the LCR and even use external mounts if required....

Will a centre like PC351 work wall mounted ?

 

[afterlife2]

I had a couple of Primus centers and boy were they bad/muffled with dialog.

 

[HifiAudio]

And assuming the L & R are not more than 6ft apart, will virtual centre work ?
