fx300i wall or ceiling mount

I'm moving into a new place and would like to get my fx300i surrounds off from my speaker stands and instead mounted on the ceiling or wall.
I'm wondering what the best mounting options are (i.e mounting hardware), and if pointing the speakers down and towards the listening area would screw up the dipole/bipole nature of the speaker.
Any help would be appreciated!

On the wall 2-3' above ear level would be my preference.

i've been using the F/X300i's for a long time now.. i'm still very happy with em..
my friend keeps telling me how much better they sound than his expensive Klipsch's he has for surround. ha ha ha.
Anyway, yeah like PolkWannabe said.. 2 to 3 feet above your ears is where you want em.
As for wall or ceiling mount.. I'd go with the wall mount. Wall mounting seems more secure and less likely to kill someone should they fall. I have mine mounted with two 5" wood screws.. into a wall stud. those babys aren't going anywhere.
good luck.PolkFest 2012, who's going>?

I'm replacing my dated Bose Am10 surround and would like to get my fx300i surrounds mounted on the ceiling where the Bose previously were.
Is there a ceiling mounting bracket that is compatible for these speakers? -
They belong on the wall, end of discussion.

If one of those fell on your head you would be having a bad day- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.
