Everyday I learn something new...

*sigh*

Executive Summary:

Wife wants me to secure or store the rear surrounds on the rig.
Little cord and cable pulling, terminal unscrewing speaker stand tipping crawling buddle of mischief that I like to call Baby Evil has made the current speaker placement unsafe (to both infant and probably my speakers).

While scanning the various threads for wall mounts or ideas I got pointed to Polk's useful speaker placement faq. It would appear that the speakers should be placed about 6 ft or so high and on the sides if possible. Of course during the house renos and my zeal to conceal speaker wire, I ran the speaker wires along the wall behind the baseboard up to a nice wall plate centered on the rear wall.

If I decide to mount the speakers to the sides, does anyone have any suggestions on running wire to the new locations. WAF (wife acceptance factor) is required so stapling new speaker wire along the wall is probably out.

Removing the baseboard and redoing the speaker wire runs and new wall plates would probably be best but WAF for weekend project is a low and dipping into the 'Danger Will Robinson' level.

Anyone? anyone? Beuller, Beuller...

Suggestions welcomed, catcalls only if they're humourous.

The current setup of the rig is:

front: RT12
centre: CSi30
rear: Celestion 5 Mk II
sub: no name generic sub.

Thanks

This wire, which is really a piece of tape with wide conductive traces, is taped to the wall and painted over. It is so thin that the paint covers it up but is still equal to 18 guage.

Ever consider installing crown molding in the room? You could hide it behind the molding and it will definately get the WAF. Matter of fact, she may get you to install it in other rooms as well so be careful.

We have a very nice cedar lined vaulted ceiling. Finding a profile and getting the angles would probably be very tricky. Nice suggestion for other rooms though, I'll keep it in mind. Thanks!

The room is a bit problematic it appears. The rear wall is a large picture window and one of the side walls is an outside wall with yet another window so pulling wire is not gonna be fun.

I think I'm going to have to go the thin wire route that madmax0001 suggested.

Thanks again for all the suggestions.
