Can these speakers be placed sideways on a bookshelf?

Hi, your question is a good one. I can not tell the difference speakers on their side or standing up when they are playing. I really think it is just what a person likes(prefers). I hope you will do what you like best.Take care,Ron

Sure, you could put these in a very large, sturdy bookcase with wide and deep shelves. But if you do so, they will not provide the full acoustic quality that they are designed to deliver. The horns in the speaker units are intended to be aligned vertically, and the bass port opens to the rear of the speaker. Ideally, these speakers should stand on the floor, with the rear of the speaker about 12 inches from the wall. If your bookcase has an enclosed back, the bass will be especially impaired. The Klipsch Reference series speakers are great, but the "rear-firing" bass port does limit placement somewhat. Sure, you could put these in a very large, sturdy bookcase with wide and deep shelves.

These speakers are great, and if you have a pair of these and a self large enough-go for it!

You would need a long bookshelf to place these on, since they are about 3 feet tall. You could, though, but I wouldn't. You also need some deep shelves since these are pretty deep.

Yes , but u will have to mount them sideways and angle them down I may even do my surround back pair same way

I have these set up in a surround schema, but would not recommend them as a "main" set of speakers unless your space is constrained to bookshelves. These are actually decent speakers, especially for the price point.

They are firmly attached to the base, so you can't detach them. That and the angle would mean some kind of custom McGyvering to do so. Would be easier to put up a shelf and put them on that. Remember they are angled and the sound will go in that direction more or less.

I am unfamiliar with these speakers and would be hesitant to venture a guess. However, the stands connect with the speakers on the back, not on the base. So just guess I'd so no.

Yes, there is a little flexibility with how far down on the chair the speakers can be placed. The depth of the chair and height of the back will also determine where the speakers lay.

Somewhat. The natural position for this speaker stand when installed causes the speaker to tilt/face at a slightly downward angle. The angle can be increased using the adjustment screws on the reverse of the bracket. The front mounting rail hangs over the lip of the set well enough so that if you raise the rear using the adjustment screws on the back of the bracket you still have enough of the front rail extending over the front edge of your set to grip properly and hold the shelf firmly.

I would say no. There are no mounting points, so unless you built a shelf for each speaker there would be no way to wall mount them. Plus the power and audio connectors project a good inch or more straight out of the right speaker requiring clearance. And they clearly have no connection points for a mounting braket.

Yes they are. Can mount the speakers vertical or horizontal. Suggest using dielectric grease on outdoor speaker connections to prevent corrosion.

Mine was placed horizontally as well because it is supposed to be a center speaker. To place on the wall may wish to consider setting up a wall shelf for it.

Yes, there are mounting brackets included that allow for vertical or horizontal placement (and adjustment of speaker direction).

Mine are mounted horizontally - absolutely no issue. I have a slight overhang to tuck them under, but they are very exposed otherwise. No issues. They look and sound like new after two nasty winters. I had Definitive indoor surrounds and was indifferent. These are excellent for outdoor speakers. (Check Amazon's Warehouse for any good deals on them. If you score a deal, grab them and don't look back.)

Yes I mounted mine horizontally about a foot or so below the eve. They sound very good. You won't be disappointed. They are full sounding and the base is good even without a subwoofer.

Go to amazon and search for bookshelf speakers. I have a set of Pioneer SP-BS22-LR Andrew Jones Designed Bookshelf Loudspeakers. I use the speaker mounts in my media room. I like them very much and would buy them again.

If the speakers are facing fully forward, you will get some upward tilt, limited by the rear mounting bracket, your wall and the height of your speakers. Tilting them inward will give you less upward tilt. Another possibility would be to go with a wall shelf or stand at ear height if you are mounting them that low (and may look less awkward also).

Yes you can flip these so that they are opposite in design. Beautiful shelves.

Audio Engine Speakers are bookshelf but they may make after market brackets. I would contact the manufacture. Since hanging them on the wall seems like a great idea. I am sure there is something available
