5.1 I thought about the side as well it but I don't have a wall on one side and the other wall has the same issue with the slant. The pitch is slightly different but yes the roof decking slants down with the sheetrock. There is about a 10" gap between the two.

I've always used speakers stands in my HT but I wanted to hang my newly acquired RS-42's from my rear wall. When we moved in there was two pair run down the wall and out of a single coax outlet cover. I thought I would just pull the existing wires up, drill a couple holes in the top plate, drill a couple of holes in the drywall, fish the wire through the holes, throw some screws in the wall and be done. But upon investigating in the attic, I realize that the pitch in our ceiling from 10' down to the 8' at the walls makes it impossible to even reach the top plate much less drill and run wire through it. Now my options that I can think of are 1. Run the existing wire along the base board, drill a hole in the bottom of the wall and go up. This would be easy but not very pleasing to the eye. 2. Somehow drill from the bottom of the top plate up and fish out into the attic. I can see this working but it would I imagine it would involve a lot of dry wall patching - something I'm not good at especially with our orange peel walls. I think I would also need a flexible drill bit just to get a proper angle. And if its a double top plate, it would twice as hard. 3. Suck it up and use stands. I've already modified my existing stands to hold the RS-42's but I really want these beauties up on the walls so I get what I paid for out of them. Any of you guys have a suggestion outside of calling in the carpenter?

Wood filler was my first guess and that's what I did based on your advice. The holes were actually smaller diameter than I thought. If I could have pulled off the feet thing though that would have been perfect. Thanks for the input.

Technically I don't have holes, I have screws but your point is well taken. I promise to keep the drill away from my Kilpsch's.

Thanks for the welcome. That would be the perfect solution but I believe the holes are to close together to provide proper stablility. I'll have to look more closely when I get home.

I have just upgraded my HT fronts and surrounds from 4 Insignia ns-b2111 bookshelves (those are the ones everyone was buzzing about last year) to a pair of RF-25's and RS-42's. My problem is that I had all four Insignias on stands and, due to their relativley large size, I used screws to attach them to the stands so they woudln't be knocked off by one of my crazy kiddos. I screwed them right through the bottom of the box. A stupid move but these were around $70 for all four when I got them so I wasn't risking much. So now I have four speakers each with four holes in the bottom. What is the best way to fill the holes so they do not affect the sound? Can I simply use wood filler or is there something more appropriate? Sawdust and wood glue maybe? I like the Insignias for what they are and I'm on the fence on wether to sell or keep them for some other use in the future but in either case I'd like them to sound as close to new as they can without a lot of investment in time or money. I have googled the heck out of this subject and I haven't found any relevant info.
