I have been a fortunate owner of Aperion systems since 2003, since then the left and right spkrs were perched on bookshelves. Recently we moved to a new apt and now I want them properly mounted on wall or stand.

My initial inclination was towards wall mounts as they would free up space on the floor for the kids. However I just realized that with wall mounts, once mounted and installed I cannot change the distance between speakers or move them vertically ( I could but then I would have to drill new holes cover the old ones etc etc). Of course I could tilt/swivel them but don’t know how effective that would be.

I am sure I am not the first one facing these questions:

1. Is there a recommended distance between the Left and Right speakers, center and left, center and right spkrs?  Once wall mounted at this recommended distance I just need to tweak the tilt/swivel.
2. If above is not the case then is it recommended that I go with floor stands instead of wall mounts?

If anyone else ran into similar issues please share how their experiences.

Note: I have a 5.1 setup with a 8” sub.

Thanks.
