One Mounting Solution

Comment:
My mounting position is at the ceiling and I wanted the speakers to angle down somewhat. I secured large cup hooks to the ceiling, about an inch from the wall, and hung the speakers from them. They angle down at about 15 degrees, with their lower edges resting against the wall. I was planning on adding padding where they touch the wall, but the they're heavy enough so I didn't need it.
I'm giving these 5 stars, not because I'm claiming they're high quality speakers, but because they are exactly what they were advertised to be. I had a couple of difficult-to-tune dead spots in the weirdly shaped room where my 7.1 system is living. They don't come anywhere near the presence of the system's MC1 Magnepans, but not 1 person in 100 will be able to pick up on the difference (including me). These were perfect for the job, disappear into the ceiling and were inexpensive as well.

Okay, but not good

Comment:
I'm not impressed. They are not bad, but have a really cheap, cheesy feel to them. The cases are flimsy plastic and the sound is unremarkable. I guess they work- sound does come out and they are small. If that is what you need, then they are okay.

Comment:
One of the speakers was cracked when they arrived. There is no foam padding in the box they come in, which is idiotic. You wouldn't have to drop the box far for these heavy little speakers to crack their cheap plastic casing.
I am using these as front surround sound speakers. 4 inches is the minimum size for a speaker to sound halfway decent, and anything bigger is too big to put on a surround sound speaker stand. It's surprising that there isn't a bigger variety of 4 inch speakers to choose from.
These speakers sound good, especially for their price, but I would rather have better ones. Only buy these if you are as poor as me and are willing to risk getting broken speakers.
Comment:
One of the speakers was blown out upon delivery. Others had warned these didn't ship well. The one that worked sounded pretty good, seemed to deliver a full range and decent sound. Considering it seems to be a low end paper speaker (like what comes stock in many cheaper cars), I was impressed.
I'm worried they won't last. Returning these and going for the Polk sattelites. Up towards $100 now, but they should stand the test of time.
Comment:
Good question here, how am I supposed to mount them. They have this funky thing that kinda pulls out. If I try to mount it just comes undone. I haven't heard them yet, because I can't get over the mounting hurdle. I will give the rating a three until I can get this answered.
Ammended: I did figure out how to mount them by drilling into them. It works, but not the most ideal solution. They should have included standard mounting, how hard is it to have a predrilled screw hole or something? The good news is that they work pretty good in my 7.1 system.
