Mavicator Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Can RS-7s be mounted up high and angled slightly down like a bookshelf? Would this sound OK? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunt Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Yes, they are supposed to be mounted high. Don't use a bracket to point toward the listening area. They are designed to be mounted flush against the wall. Not sure what you mean about bookshelves - mine are all straight and not angled. Mine are mounted about 6' high, on the sides of the listening area. I love the WSD effect, contrary to others who don't like it for SACD/DVD-A. They are good speakers. Enjoy.

ygmn Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Yes...by all means angle them down if you have to mount them say above 7 feet....I did....had too... made some angled wooden mounting doohickey thingys...painted black to match.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavicator Posted June 1, 2005 Author Share Posted June 1, 2005 Awesome, thanks guys! You just made my decision for me. I was thinking of angling them slightly because they will be mounted at about 7'4" up and only 6'5" from the center of the couch (only about 3' from each side of the couch!). Not an ideal situation but it's what I have to deal with. Hopefully they will perform well like this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firme Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Mavicator, please post you impressions after you do this. I may be in the same boat in a month when I move. I might have to mount mine from the ceiling 9' high, and angle them down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavicator Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 Yikes! I wonder if you're better off with bookshelves for better control of where the sound goes? I dunno, I'm using flawed logic here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejez Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 i just went through the mounting routine with my surround speakers and you'll notice in the manual they tell you how high to mount them. The manual for the RS-7 @ http://www.klipsch.com/media/Products/ManualRef.9_00.pdf tells you to mount it @ 5' 3/16" high from the floor (flush on the wall). For best performance i would suggest this. For me i ended up mounting them 5' from the floor since I had obstructions in my wall for the wiring... but they sound perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
