I currently have the 534's set as my surrounds in a 5.1 setup but I am in the midst of moving and the room that my system will be in is going to present some positioning issues.  wall mounting them side by side will not be possible and mounting them in the back will be to far......so my question is, should I be looking into the 632's for my dilemma or should I try to deal with the 534's and position them as best as i can......so what would be better 534's or 632's using omnimounts on the sides in ceiling pointing down) or 534's or 632's wall mounted in the back....anyone suggest any ideas

Hi Vinicio,

As long as your ceilings are not too high (over 9 ft), it should not be any big deal to use the 534's on omnimounts.   It seems to me that the 632's might look odd hanging from the ceiling since they are so large in size.  Others might have a different opinion.

Have you considered tall stands for the 534's?  I have mine on stands that are tall enough so the speakers are above my head while sitting down and I've been happy with them.   However, one of them is out in the open and the 534 does not look all that pretty from the back, but I can get away with it as I am a bachelor

Thanks for the reply.

That's what I'm leaning towards as well.  I think I'm going to end up mounting them on the ceiling on each side at an angle aiming down. What do you think?  Unfortunately I don not have the luxury of putting something in the middle of the room and not have to worry about WAF.    She calls the 534's tumors....nuff said, but she can't argue with the sound  the 632's intrigue me as I already have the 633's and am just being talked into the idea by the voice inside my head..."you can have the 6 series all around" 

 

can you send me a link of those stands, just curious.

Hey,

Here is the link to the stands I use for my 534SS speakers.

Did you end up mounting them from the ceiling?

Hey Vinicio,

The 632s are not a candidate for ceiling mount. In fact, I generally discourage wall mounting them due to the fact that it requires you to drill into the cabinet.

There are no threaded inserts on the 632, the speaker is about 29 lbs in weight and the port on the back guarantees chuffing if you feed it with anything lower than 80hz while it is wall mounted. 

So, what to do? Well, I think I would end up ceiling mounting the dipoles since you already own them- You'll want to play with the dipole/bipole switch and see which you like better. In my opinion, the dipole setting doesn't work quite as well unless you have them flush mounted on the wall.

I like the high stand idea, too, except there is no way to secure the speaker to the stand (lack of threaded insert on the bottom) so if you have pets or kids, I would be concerned about stability.
