Wall-Mounting Monitor 40s

This topic was brought up in an earlier post(circa 2006), but i have a bit of a spin on the question:
I have just moved to New York City, and obviously have limited space for my large Monitor 40s. I would like to wall mount them but unlike some of the other Monitors, the 40s do not have the eyelet in the back. I could build a shelf but that may look too bulky in such a small room. I have come up with two options: (1) use just the brackets from a shelf and either screw or use adhesive to attach to the bottom of the cabinet (2) attach a bracket to the back of the cabinet with screws or adhesive.
As I dont trust many adhesives to hold 16lbs on vertical shear, option 2 would more than likely involve screws. So finally after all of this my question. Would **** into the cabinet of my speakers mess with the sound quality noticably? I am not an audiophile (half deaf actually) and have a **** reciever, but would one day use these with a nicer one. Any suggestions or tips would be helpful. Thanks.

I had also considered attaching brackets to the back like on the 30's but opted for custom built (by me) shelves and attached those to the wall.Set up:
Marantz AV8802A - Sources: BRP Panasonic 9000/CDP Emotiva ERC 3 - Display: LG OLED EVO 83 C3 - Amplification: Emotiva XPA-DR3, XPA-6, XPA-2 x 2 - Speakers: Focal/PolkAudio, Mains/2ch - Kanta No2, C - LSiM706, SS - LSiM702, WS - RTiA9, RS - RTiA9, FH - RTiA3 - Subs: Epik Empires x 2
Cables: AQ McKenzie XLR's from CDP to AVP to amp for 2ch, Emotiva XLR's for the rest - Douglasconnection: Furutech Alpha 36 12g speaker wire for 2ch, Furez 10g speaker wire for the rest - AQ Forest48 HDMI for the display, AQ Carbon48 HDMI from BRP to AVP - VR3 filtered power cables for CDP, BRP and AVP, Emotiva power cables for the amps - AudioQuest 505 power conditioner.
EXPERIENCE: next to nothing, but I sure enjoy audio and video MY OPINION OF THIS HOBBY: I may not be a smart man, but I know what quicksand is.
When I was young, I was Superman but now that old age has gotten the best of me I'm only Batman -
Thanks xcapri, can't believe I missed those in my own research. Cheers.
