Your other option is sealed acoustic suspension.
Wall mounting rear ported speakers.
I have no other options.
In a perfect world set your listening position more than 3m 9 8 feet from the wall behind the speaker regardless of the distance of the speaker to the wall assuming normal setup.
Even if you are using the front speakers above 80hz or so it seems like a bad idea to mount rear ported spaekers on the wall.
Give those ports room to breathe and you ll experience a much more even frequency response across the soundstage the ability for the left and right speakers to create a lifelike representation of the audio experience.
My problem is that i can only position them so that the back of the speaker is only about one foot from the wall behind it.
Hi all i am considering purchasing a pair of sonus faber liuto towers.
My current rear surround speakers are mounted on the wall near the ceiling beside the sofa.
So now i will have 4 rear surround speakers at ear height and ceiling height.
I will place the 2 new surround speakers at ear height on both sides of the sofa.
There are plenty of them out there to choose from.
If i had to mount speakers on the wall i would look for front ported speakers.
They are a rear ported speaker and come highly rated.
Any back ported speaker with a port diameter of 2 for example will work just fine placed up to a wall as long as there is 2 of space behind the port.
I think that front ported designs are better for that purpose as they can be placed closer to rear walls.
Not only will this help with the soundstage it will also change the relationship of the rear port to your wall by changing the angle of reflection.
I will be adding 2 more speakers soon and want to expand to 7 1.

This is the boominess that people experience when a rear ported speaker is place closed to a rear wall.
Is this the ideal placement.
Rear ports shoot out lf energy directly against a rear wall which sharply reflects is back to reinforce the original front wave.
