hi,

i am planning to use bl3 as back speakers in a home cinema setup. unfortunately, i can not mount them on the back wall - it is covered by books !

so i am curious if i can 'sidemount' them on the side walls. they would be more or less at 90° to mount. or is this totally a stupid idea ?

thanks again beoworld !

It's possible, sure. There's only a single screw on the bottom attaching the speaker to the bracket. We've done this before in a few installations. Shouldn't affect the sound too much.

curious: why would it affect the sound at all on an ALT speaker? 

I would personally place the speakers directly either side of the sofa if you can't get them to mount behind.

that is how I have done it. My sofa is just in front of the back wall, so I placed the lab 3 just beside the sofa on the floor stands. If you can mount them at the wall, I was told a little bit above ear level would be best.
