rmeredith@pa.net Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 I am finally buying my first house (new construction) and would like to get a good (not top-of-the-line) set of speakers for my tv/home theater setup. How would the front/rear channels of the System 6 look when mounted on the wall? How big are they. My front/center speakers are no problem - I'll mount them on the wall (if they aren't too large). The rear speakers - who knows. I don't have a wall behind my couch - it is broke in the middle for the stairs. Could you mount the rear speakers on stands? How about ceiling mount? Does Klipsch have a setup that I could flush-mount in the wall? How should I prepare the walls for this? (it is new construction). Can I put the front/center in the walls and flush mount the rears in the ceiling? Any help is appreciated. -robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShapeShifter Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 You may want to check out the Architectural Section a bit further down in the forum. They post lots of information on speaker matching and installation methods for Klipsch on-wall and ceiling mountable speakers. The link below will take you to Klipsch's page that shows other speakers that are a match for the SB-1's. The SB-1's are the Front Main Bookshelfs in the Synergy System 6. http://www.klipsch.com/products/productdetail.asp?id=39&line= Wes ------------------ KLIPSCH IS MUSICf> My Systems f>s>c> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtkinney Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Robert, Aren't the SB-1's vented? If so, you can't wall mount them from the back, they need some spacing. The rear/side speakers could be wall or ceiling mounted. I have my surrounds mounted where the wall meets the ceiling, on boxes that angle them down to the listening position. Klipsch does offer in wall speakers. I have never heard any, so I can't comment on how they sound. Wes has a good suggestion, search the Architectural section for ideas. I even have a post with photo's of my surrounds. ------------------ Jim Family Room: 1979 La Scalas (mains), SF-2 Center (pair), RS-3 Surrounds, RC-3 Rear Center, KSW-10 Subs (pair) Yamaha RX-V1 Reciever, Yamaha CDC-655 CD Player, Toshiba SD-1200 DVD, Toshiba TN50X81 50" HDTV Living Room: Yamaha RX-V590, 1978 Klipschorns Mainsc>s> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShapeShifter Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Jim is correct the SB-1's are Bass Reflex, with a rear mounted port. See link to specifications: http://www.klipsch.com/products/cutsheet.asp?id=39 I can't remember the exact details, but do recall BobG mentioning that Omnimount made a bracket that should provide sufficient clearance for mounting RB Bookshelfs (which have a rear port) on walls. Don't think Omnimount sells direct to individuals, but Talk To Keith new of a retailer who would take the order and have Omnimount ship direct to the customer. If he reads your post, perhaps he will provide more insight. ------------------ KLIPSCH IS MUSICf> My Systems f>s>c> This message has been edited by ShapeShifter on 08-14-2002 at 07:14 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
