Thank you for the responses gentleman. I thought I wanted them to come from the ceiling because I could put them a little further out into the room but on the back wall is fine, back surrounds need to be preferably 5 to 7 feet from the back row correct?http://www.btechavmounts.com/product-range/products/bt77
good to 55 pounds!

I've always wondered if these would work with the mounting holes on the bottom of the 75's and 81's
-
I have found a few viable options that say they will hold them, just curious if someone has some that they know work for sure.
-
I used:
with a pair of bookshelves. They work great. However, many reviews talk about the hardware. I DID have to go to the hardware store and get a new pair of bolts and nuts because the ones supplied were not threaded properly. So they aren't perfect out of the box in some cases which is lame. But it holds great, mine are screwed into the stud and could support the 81's no problem I believe.
They don't tilt a lot, just a little so don't get them for tilt.
I definitely will need them to tilt quite a bit I should've said that to begin with. Thanx

Dont know why the smiley face popped up, was supposed to just say 60.0 WB-B
-
Now that omnimount no longer makes the typically suggested mounts for these speakers(60.0 WB-
does anyone have any suggestions that they have used or still use? I will take ceiling or wall mount suggestions, actually I'll gladly take WHATEVER suggestions anyone would offer. Thanks for your time! -
I personally I'm not interested in them only because I don't have a place to put them, I just sent him an email so I could possibly the first one to lay claim on them and then let someone from the forum take them. Jim and St. Louis was the first one to respond so in the unlikely chance that they do email me and say the other person backed out. I already promised my place in line to him. My place in line to him. They may very well be in use at someone else's house right now, for your sake Jim I hope that's not true.
-
Looks like I'm third in line and I answered an hour and a half after he posted. Hopefully somebody on the forum.
-
That's such a good deal, he must have stole the speakers, lol.
That was my first instinct too, LOL!
-
I emailed him as soon as I seen it so if by chance I get first Dibbs I'm willing to fork my position over to someone interested. No response as of yet but I just seen them 20 minutes ago.

Smart man!
-
I emailed him 2 hours after he posted and he sent back an email saying they were still available. I immediately sent back an email telling him i would take them and he never responded. Someone must have offered more money.
-
Man real friends won't be afraid to tell someone their gear sucks lol. He should know after listening to them then coming and hearing yours. I mean get real. Night and day
Ive worked with him for 7 years, hes yet to come out. Hes better off, then he would be hooked!
-
OP, tell your friend to use the TV as a center with that system. It will work since he isn't will to do much more.
Cool beans, that should be perfect. Thanks

Not trying to sound rude....just going to be a bit blunt.
My neighbor has a 12K sq/ft house. I think his ceilings are 15'.
They installed their HT in the living room, in the ceiling. His wife pulled me in there one day saying I simply HAD to hear it....
By happenstance, they had the evening news on.
It was very disconcerting to be seeing the TV in front of me but the voices coming from above. It was literally like God himself was telling us from above that it was going to rain tomorrow.....
My opinion, epic fail.
If someone decides that (buried in drywall) is the only way they can do it, I'd rather at least go with in WALL so you can bring them down to ear level and try to make it sound more normal. The in ceiling for me, was terrible.
Again, just trying to be blunt, pardon any perceived rudeness.
I'm glad you're being blunt because I'm going to show him this so he knows it's not just me telling him to rethink it, I pictured the speakers at least being aimed toward the seating positions but they're just firing straight down .
-
I can't imagine any center will blend real well with in ceiling speakers. SOOO pick something that sounds descent. And he will prolly love it. Not everyone is as specific as a lot of us.
I think you're probably right Scrappy. I showed him how to hook things up to his Onkyo he bought and it sounded terrible I didn't have the heart to tell him because he wants to try and make it work. I wish you would just scrap the idea, no pun intended Scrappy :-)

He asked me to help him find a center to match it, I suggested he ditch those speakers all together but that is not an option for now.
Any suggestions for a center? He does not want to put another hole in the ceiling for a center either.

In one of their hundred thousand dollar plus rooms, they have chairs that move with the movie, if a car turns to the left your chair slightly turns to the left. I think it was called D box I had never heard or seen that before, may be old news to most of you guys.
-
Sounds like, The Sound Room. First place I ever seen my RF-7ii's in person. They tried to push me toward B&W instead, but they really have some knowledgeable people there. Gary is one of them if you have any questions about the unit.
-
Thanks for suggestions everyone, i hit the INFO button and now it is reading Dolby TrueHD. Dont remember doing that before, but fine by me. Easy fix, even though I was tempted by Scrappys suggestion to get a new AVR, I would MUCH rather spend my money on bigger subs.
-
I'll go check my HDMI's and my connections making sure everything is plugged in properly . If that doesn't work I'll mess with it in the morning too late now. Thank you gentlemen for your help.
-
I don't think I actually answered your question Michael, yes I do want to see it on the front of the receiver it may make no difference whatsoever and be a total marketing gimmick but it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside when I see it :-)
-
If it is TRULY being decoded properly even though it says straight I don't have a problem with it I'm just worried it is not being decoded properly and I am missing out on some of the audio aspects , why would it all the sudden stop saying it on the front of the AVR. I was reading on some forums that I should just set it to Linear PCM Because I will not get Dolby true HD anyway, but I think they were talking about the bigger style not the PS3 slim
does anyone have any suggestions that they have used or still use? I will take ceiling or wall mount suggestions, actually I'll gladly take WHATEVER suggestions anyone would offer. Thanks for your time!
