I have them mounted as side surrounds on the walls. I used a 3rd party mount system and it is doable.

can they be used as atmos?
A shopper
on Mar 30, 2024
BEST ANSWER: Yes, but you should mount them up high and pointing towards you or have them on stands facing up. If you have them on stands facing up, you'll need to put at least 1/2 inch spacers between the back of the speaker and the stand so that the port can breathe.

Rattles and woofs under certain frequencies
It's hard for me to recommend, as I am using these as the surrounds for my 5.1.4 system. One of the speakers, under certain frequencies, has an audible rattle coming from the speaker. Then during scenes where lows are put on the rear (looking at you Dune 2), you can hear the port make an very loud audible wooshing sound.

Punchy Bass and excellent sound stage
I compared them with a pair of Sony SSCS5s that I'm using in my office with a Denon AVR as the FL & FR before I mounted them on the walls in my family room (screw into the back wood panel and make them nonreturnable). These are quite comparable to the Sonys with deep bass and being not too bright. I was pleasantly surprised.
Next I mounted them on the walls as side surrounds in my Family room 5.1 setup. I use the setup with the TV and for Karaoke parties. These speakers replaced a pair of Heralds (Royd Audio Speakers UK) and the difference was day and night. Well-toned mids and highs. I have a dedicated SVS sub so I set the LFE at 120Hz but these speakers can pull above their weight in a non-sub setup.
Each speaker comes in its own box, well-packed and in a cloth bag. The cloth bag seems excessive because it just creates a lot of waste for the landfill.
Still in the break-in period but for the price, the quality and finish is excellent.
I added photos of 2 different mounts as I see Qs about mounting them on a wall.
