Surrounds. Use mounts or Keyholes? - Blu-ray Forum

Uniquely · 11-15-2008, 03:53 PM

This weekend I am working on getting my rear surrounds positioned behind my sofa. I found that they actually sound better pointed straight out rather than down towards the listening area. I have them on mounts now, but think they would look cleaner if I used the keyhole to mount them.

Is there a sound advantage to the little bit of breathing room the mounts provide between the speaker and the wall? Or since the surrounds don't output a lot of lows anyway, would they sound just as good or better on they keyhole?

it says you have F1's as your surrounds right?

im not sure you can mount or use keyholes for those for that matter..

LOL. I do have F1's for surrounds. I have the S1's for my rear surrounds.

hmm. so whats the F2s then?

anyways... back on track...

id rather use the keyholes on them. instead of a speaker mount. simply because they were 'built' that way, using the walls to further 'enhance' the said sound coming from the rear speakers.

keep em up a tad higher than the listening area to avoid locating the said speaker.

The F2's are my fronts. I originally had the S1's for surrounds, then I came upon a great deal on teh F1's so I'm using those as surrounds, and I'm moving the S1's to the rear surrounds to make a 7.1 system. Thanks. I'm halfway through taking the mounts down now.
