Any thoughts on this.
Wall mounting rear ported speakers.
They are a rear ported speaker and come highly rated.
Rear ports shoot out lf energy directly against a rear wall which sharply reflects is back to reinforce the original front wave.
Give those ports room to breathe and you ll experience a much more even frequency response across the soundstage the ability for the left and right speakers to create a lifelike representation of the audio experience.
This is the boominess that people experience when a rear ported speaker is place closed to a rear wall.
Hi all i am considering purchasing a pair of sonus faber liuto towers.
There are plenty of them out there to choose from.
Your other option is sealed acoustic suspension.
And oh look that just happens to be the minimum distance to the wall recommended by genelec for their back ported speakers what a coincidence.
I will be adding 2 more speakers soon and want to expand to 7 1.
Not only will this help with the soundstage it will also change the relationship of the rear port to your wall by changing the angle of reflection.
So now i will have 4 rear surround speakers at ear height and ceiling height.
If i had to mount speakers on the wall i would look for front ported speakers.
My problem is that i can only position them so that the back of the speaker is only about one foot from the wall behind it.
My current rear surround speakers are mounted on the wall near the ceiling beside the sofa.
Even if you are using the front speakers above 80hz or so it seems like a bad idea to mount rear ported spaekers on the wall.
I will place the 2 new surround speakers at ear height on both sides of the sofa.
In a perfect world set your listening position more than 3m 9 8 feet from the wall behind the speaker regardless of the distance of the speaker to the wall assuming normal setup.
One more tip is to ensure that your rear ported speakers aren t placed on a bookshelf or against a wall.
