I'm buying a house that has a home theater system built into the wall, but the speakers the current owner is using are pathetic little home-theater-in-a-box Panasonics. Here is a picture of the front of the room:
The surround speakers are those same little Panasonics attached to ceiling mounts.
My system, by contrast, is based on a Denon AVR-1803 receiver and Denon 2200 DVD player. I'm planning to get a set of RB-25's for the front speakers, mounted exactly where the little Panasonics are now, with RS-25's on the ceiling mounts and an RC-25 on a glass shelf above the TV.
My question is whether anyone here is using the RB-25's as wall-mounted speakers, using the keyhole mounts? If so, do you get any wall vibrations from doing so? Would it be helpful to place some sort of sound-deadening material between the speaker and the wall? (Stick-on rubber spacers, perhaps?)
I'm sure these speakers would probably sound a little better placed away from the wall on stands, but I'm willing to sacrifice a LITTLE clarity for aesthetics (which is why I'll be getting the RB-25's instead of the larger RB-35's).
Thanks for any help!
