For speakers weighing up to 33 lbs, the VideoSecu Side-Clamping BookShelf-Speaker Wall-Mount is the hands-down winner in its weight category. It swivels 360 degrees, tilts 10 degrees up or down, and even works with speakers that have no mounting holes. Bookshelf speakers are freestanding and are designed to sound great wherever you place them so if style and “discreet” is your preference then don’t sweat the placement too much. CONCLUSION Generally, tower speakers are the only speakers that aren’t compatible with wall mounts. With the speakers below, wall mounts are ideal: Speaker placement. Is it better to have them at the far end of the rectangular room where it's narrower and allow for more flexible seating arrangements, or along the side to make them further apart for greater stereo separation? While the Prodigy 1’s precision and organisation warrant the label ‘analytical’, the speakers aren’t informative at the expense of entertainment. Systematic, yes, but anything but soulless.

Depending on the distance of the TV from the listening position it may be worth considering adding some desk stands to slightly raise them more towards the listening position, but this usually isn’t required. DESK We think these new Mission 770 are right up there with the very best at this price, and one of the best ways to fill a large room with sound. Mission takes design inspiration from the original 770 speakers launched in the 1970s, but has improved and modernised every other element: from the cabinet design to the drivers and even new dedicated stands. Whether we're reviewing a set of bookshelf speakers that cost a few hundred pounds or a fair few thousand, our review philosophy doesn't change, and you can be sure that any five-star speakers (and particularly What Hi-Fi? Award-winning ones) will offer up a fantastic performance for the price. You can either directly place them on your desk or get some speaker desk stands which angle the speaker more towards the listening position. BOOKSHELFI have Edifier R1280DB speakers and I wanted to position them to the ear level and did not want them to occupy the desk space anymore and not settling down to using stands of any sort. Simple but ingenious, the Sanus outlet shelf allows users to utilize the space above an electrical outlet. The shelf comes assembled and attaches to a standard outlet with just a screwdriver. Thread the speaker’s power cord through the shelf and to the electrical outlet.

If the speakers aren’t positioned correctly, sound quality suffers. Determine the location of each speaker and choose a wall mount that works in the available space.

Mount-It! Bookshelf-Speaker Wall Mounts - 

Hopefully now you have a better understanding of how bookshelf speakers should be placed for optimum sound quality. Now in its eighth generation and going 20+ years strong, Bowers & Wilkins' 600 series of speakers has more often than not provided some superb speakers. Our recommendation is that all of these speakers will benefit from being placed on a dedicated pair of speaker stands.

Depending on the size of the room (this applies for smaller rooms), it is actually *better* to place the speakers as close to the front wall as you can, due to something called SBIR. The closer to the wall, the higher the frequency that gets nulled from phase cancellation (makes it less obvious and easy to treat). From there, you can do your best to treat that null, if possible (such as acoustic foam on the walls the speaker is on). Curious minds want to know: in what specific way do you want to begin exploring wall mount bookshelf speaker? For 7.1 surround systems, place the additional two rear speakers directly behind, and angled toward, the primary seat.
