Can anyone tell me the best way to mount these speakers to the wall? Can I drill into the cabinet? I am hooking up the speakers to my tv and want to finally mount the speakers. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Drilling into the cabinet would not be recommended. The recommended way would be to get stands that put the tweeters at the same height as your ears when you're sitting. Also, wall mounting speakers just sucks in general.

    Thanks Quad. I know it isn't ideal to mount the speakers to the ceiling/wall, but I need o get them off my stands.

    The answer is, there isn't really a good way to wall mount those, because they aren't designed to be wall mounted. If you really really have to though, then I would go with a shelf mounted to the wall, and set the speaker on the shelf. Probably want to use a triangle brace when you do it, so the shelf doesn't collapse.
