At least for awhile, till you get around to buying some real mounts.

By the way, paid 100 bucks for those polk surrounds, remarkable diff, even make decent fronts in 2 channell setup if you have a sub

    You do realize those speakers can be eye hook mounted? You don't need a stud to hang them on just good quality drywall anchors. That looks awful and if I was there I would slap you and mount them properly then make you buy me dinner and beer.

    If you would like to upgrade those cables holding your speakers, just "holla".
    I am sure mine will be more "transparent, and a veil lifted" hanging from that door knob!:biggrin:
    Sure you can tell a difference, as I have plenty of "Pixie Dust" on hand, and can add a 72v battery if you like!:cool:

    they are hanging from mounts, just not the kind that come out far enough for a corner mount on these kinds of speakers.

    And...........i am still sitting here listening to sonic tap, the zen channel, which along with the new age, are by far my favorites, butterfly zone by doctor silence is on now, sounding awfully good.

    These types of artists have changed a lot from just weird sounds, its very rhythmic, and you never know what direction a song is gonna take, love it.

    An audio nut does what he has to in order to achieve good sound.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
