Speaker mounting brackets (namely klipsch)

[Zyzzyva100]

I have been using my klipsch promedia 2.1 for the past 4 years, and while they are great, I finally have my own apartment, and plan to stay here for at least a couple years. I have wanted 5.1 for a long time, and its time to upgrade. I however, have no place to put either the center or rear channel speakers other than the wall.

My computer is in my bedroom, at a desk on one end of the room. I plan to keep the front speakers where my current speakrs are: next to my lcd on either side. What I would like to do, however, is mount the center channel on the wall above my lcd (pointing down at an angle, and then mount the rear speakers on the way at the back of the room.

My questions are:
1) Will I screw up the surround sound badly if I have the rear speakers like 10-12 feet behind me, but the front and center channels right in front of me?

2) Are there other mounting brackets that will work for the 5.1 ultras other than what klipsch sells.

3) Is there a mounting bracket available at all for the center channel speaker (Klipsch or not)

I would like to finally realize 5.1, but If I can't do it right, then I feel as though theres no point in my spending all that money when my 2.1's still work fine.

If you have your surround speakers far behind you, you can use your soundcard's equalizer (or the speaker volume controls) to decrease the volume of just the front speakers/increase the volume of the rear speakers. Balance it out for a quick-fix, although you should place all the speakers at an equal distance from you.

For the mounting bracks I have no clue other than the ones Klipsch sells, I know on my z680's, the speakers stands can unscrew, then you "invert" them, screw them back on, and then they function as wall mounts.

I'd search on Google for Klipsch wall mount and see what other people use.

I have the promedia 5.1, and I reccommend the klipsch brackets. It's only like $20 for a pair, and they are high quality. Sometimes thier online store is sold out, but I ordered em anyway, and they shipped em to me two weeks later. Is there any reason you don't want to use the klipsch brackets?

Because I thought they were 20 a piece. 20 A pair is much better. I still need to figure out what to do about the center speaker though. Might it be possible to use the same brackets to mount it?

Heh.

$20/pair when there's 5 speakers to mount (since 5.1 is the setup of choice). That's quite a nice marketting gimmick

Well if you arent opposed to screwing brackets into the walls, maybe you could just put a small shelf on the wall and put the satellite on it. That way you don't have to mess with the bracket, and if you move out, someone gets a couple of tiny shelves!
