Better follow the setting recommended by Dolby and Onkyo. Because Onkyo 636 only can support up to 5.2.2 Atmos or 7.2 for legacy setup. The best location you can try, first move 2 surround back speakers to ceiling in the middle, , second , ceiling front , ceiling back. If you cannot mount on the ceiling, you can Atmos enabled upfiring speakers to echo off from your ceiling which is compromised plan.

Lancejulian, I just purchaded receiver TX-NR636 and a set of Polk Audio speakers. As I have not instaled them yet I canot tell you about my experience. But I based my decision on friends and internet opinion and I am expecting good result. Here you have my speakers: central - CS10 / front (2x) TSi100 / rear (4x) T15. I will not install atmos speakears because I have a small room. In future I will have more space and will install them. I hope this can help in your decision.

I don't think a wall mount is practical with these speakers. They are heavy and on one of them there is what looks like a heat sink attached in the back.

Rear ported speakers, such as these, require that there be about a foot or so between the rear of the speaker and the wall. You can mount the speakers any way you like but you'll loose some bottom end.

I did not mount my my speakers. There was an existing ledge. You will probably have to drill some small holes and put some screws in them. The big bass speaker is to heavy to mount.

Thanks, do you use 301's for all 4 surround speakers? Seems to me the back surround speakers do not need to be high quality.

No you don't need to get wall mounts for these speakers. I placed my speakers on speaker stands on each side of my 60 inch. Plasma TV.

You will want a wall behind this speaker for best performance. I've tried it without and, while the sound is still very good for a sound bar, it's considerably better with the rear wall.

there isn't any place to mount them unless you put a bracket on the back but if they are against the wall the port will be blocked best suggestion would be to make a shelf for them with an inch or two open behind them. these are awesome sounding speakers by the way.

If you have a good Quality surround receiver(Yamaha, Marantz, Onkyo ETC.), go ahead and use them with the receiver. It is designed to have a nice set of fronts. JIm

Sorry, I have no idea about that. I have struggled with the sound for almost 3 months. It has been bad. I just found 1 more parameter that I did not know existed and would not think it matter very much. It is the "installation Type" Wall mount or base? It was set on wall and changing it to base made significant difference in the audio.

Not sure what u wAnt to do. I had 2 as rear surround and they worked great.

I personally would keep the same in front and back.and I will say the 4way speakers are the best way to go for all around sound especially if you are looking for high and mid range sound quality.

Not sure what you mean by front or back, but depending on whether the tweeters are on the outside vs. the inside when mounted can cause the sound field to be narrow or wider. Personally I run mine on the outside for a wider sound field. JBL states about the L820, " A wider stereo image is presented with the tweeter/midrange array outboard and a tighter image is presented with the array inboard." See the comments to this answer, the individual is using them as rear surrounds for a 5.1 system.

They can be both. All speakers came with a wall mount and legs to stand them. You attach what you want to use. Wall mount, you attach the bracket to the wall and screw the speaker to the bracket. Stand, simply screw the legs into the speakers and set them where you want.

Yes brackets are on the back.And yes I am using mine for surrounds.They must be vertical for surrounds.Google for tech explanation on sound.BTW I love my Bics.Real man speakers!

they are big and you dont hang them. I use mine for rear surrounds because I dont have the equalizer they came with originally. they need a wall to reflect off. I just got a couple of cool tables at the thrift store and aimed so the 9 speaker array points and reflects off a wall. perfect surround rear speakers. I have JBL L100's for the front left right and a real nice vintage B&W; Center speaker with a old school Velodyne sub. King Kong never roared so good. I like those old vintage speakers.

During the setup process you are asked whether you have front height speakers or surround back. You would probably plug the 2nd front into surround back and select that you do have front height.
