&lt;p&gt;Yep, and use black cables; then as soon as they reach the left resp. right white pole mount the cable channels to the white pillar instead; they will be more hidden...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Brilliant &lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/01.gif" alt="Smile" /&gt; The BL5000 bracket is clever!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you ever feel a need to improve something, I would route the cabling of the BL5000s up behind the speakers, then to the side and down along the pillars - that way you could move the white cable channels away from the stone wall.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Agree with Mika, but a perfect place for the 5000s, and I love the 8000s way up there, just beautiful, congratulations.&lt;/p&gt;
