I would like to mount these speakers on the wall slightly above ears at a slight downward angle. Has anyone mounted these and can you point me to a wall mount that might work. All the mounts I have seen can not accommodate the depth of these speakers at 15" from wall.
I do not have room for speaker stands so not an option.

Welcome! Check out this thread (without a very good descriptive name) that goes into detail on this subject. http://forum.polkaudio.com/discussion/comment/2284067

Thank you. I looked at those B-Tech BT77 as well as several others all of them say a max depth of 11 -13" the 703 are almost 15" deep. Do they hang over the front a lot 3-4 inches. I would think they would be top/front heavy and fall out. They must work I guess, I'm a little sketchy on it.

Well, as you might notice in the thread, I'm using the OmniMount. Others that use the B-Techs might chime in.

I used the BT77 with fairly large speakers, but not the 703's. I used good quality Velcro between the mount and the speaker to ease my mind. The BT77 are a great wall mount and I used them with several different speakers. That being said, if Kurt is currently using the 703 with the OmniMount, I might tend to lean towards the OmniMount.Things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out.-John Wooden

I can confirm the BT77’s work great with wall mounting the LSiM 703’s. However, in my case, I have them turned sideways pointed in toward me, as they are acting as my rear speakers and placed about ear level and slightly behind my listening position. This positioning allows me to keep them exactly level and push them back on the stands to compensate for the heavier front area. With this setup, no blue tac is required. If you need to tilt them a bit, use blue tac and you will be good. Also, on one side I was able to use studs, but the other side was drywall only, so I used some wingit master anchors and they hold as good as or better than going in to studs. -
