klipsch recommends mounting these 5'-7' feet from the floor. not many stands make it that far, and it has to be pretty sturdy to support the wider structure. wall mount them if possible (mine were until i moved, now i'm paddling the same boat as you), otherwise call out your inner carpenter (if you plan on putting them that high). cheers edit: curiousity had me read a few other manuals mentioning WDST, and oddly, there are mixed signals coming from klipsch on the placement of the surrounds. maybe clearing that up would be something better left to klipsch...

klipsch recommends that these surrounds be mounted 5'-7' off the floor. it takes a pretty sturdy stand to keep that much weight stable. i had mine wall mounted until i moved, but that does not look to be an option. sorry i can't help you yet with a solution, but i would steer clear of standard 24-36" stands if possible. cheers edit: curiousity had me read a few other manuals mentioning WDST, and oddly, there are mixed signals coming from klipsch on the placement of the surrounds. maybe clearing that up would be something better left to klipsch...

I only registered to post this general statement. I realize it's driven, in part, by opinion. I also realize i'll get charred by many. I have been reading here and there the reactions of some to the recent announcement of changes in klipsch's distribution practices. Many have voiced his or her discontent over the bb issue, and in particular, the mediocrity with which a brands name is associated when distributed at similar retail chain stores. Yes, the kid working there may not know the difference between the syns and refs (no disrespect to any employee thereof, just going with the stereotype), and he may not care. But this doesn't seem to be the real gripe here. Everyone is bashing the syns because they don't sound like the refs. Well damn, i suppose that's why they don't carry the ref series name, or more importantly, the ref price tag. All you faithful klipschers are ramming this company for producing a speaker that puts the brand name within the reach of mortal 9to5ers. The guy who kinda knows about home audio or maybe has heard of the rep klipsch has might spring for the syns over sony or jvc or whatever, and become a loyal purchaser. When he's ready to upgrade, he'll know what to look for, and the refs will be there waiting. Still coming off the same tables with the same care as always. Everyone who likes a chevy might not have the purchasing power to buy a vette, but they'll put their money into a cavalier because of what they believe chevy does. Got it? All this *****in and moanin about the company selling out or going commercial is overtly hypocritical. While i'm sure the people up top still want to manufacture a fantastic product, they also have a business to run. I'm certain that model is growth, and i doubt that includes a cut in the high end. As for those wimpering about where will the people go for the high end or how will they know, these people aren't going to be going to a chain looking for the high end stuff. They already know what they're looking for, and they'll find it, and the newcomers at the entry level that bought at the chain will find it when they're ready for the upgrade. This was in no way meant to offend anyone, but some of you folks should read what you're posting. This is the thanks klipsch gets for selling you all the equipment you show in your posts as your current system... Polk and bose are probably reading here and laughing all the way to the bank.
