Hi

Considering adding some front speakers to my 65 "Eclipse.

Have thought of Beolab 18 and will hear if there are anyone who knows if it's possible to turn them 90 degrees on the wall mount, as my wall goes all the way to a new room. (my TV is on free standing wall, which separates the two rooms) And if it's possibly, do anyone have pictures to see how it's looks?(also if you have beolab 8000) Having small children and a dog so are scared they will turnover if on floor base :-)

Iam pretty sure they attach to that the same way as the floormounts, so iam pretty sure they can turn however much you’d like. However they are fairly sturdy on the floorstand, but i do think they look even more majestic on the wall mounts! They’re very nice speakers in general Big Smile

Can someone tell me how BeoLab 18s can sound good mounted up on a wall?  The new acoustic lens tweeters have excellent horizontal dispersion but rather narrow vertical dispersion.  I tried moving my head up and down in a showroom and they sounded quite different.  So unless one stands to watch TV, shouldn't 18s always be on the floor, so their tweeters are more or less at ear level?

How far away are you away from the tv? And how high do you put them on the wall?

I read i think in Geoff Martins blog that they’re made to be listened to from around 3 meters away/9ish feet away. I would gues that the higher you hang them the further you “need” to be away from them to be in the sweet spot. So don’t hang em that high, and sit further away, in my place iam about 3meters away and they sound superb. When iam closer and sit on a diningroom chair(higher than the couch) they also sound fantastic. So it depends, but in general they sounds fantastic in most but the extreme cases (ie sitting too close)

Thanks for the information. I think it will be on the wallmount then, and they will only be about 15 cm above the floor and I am 4.7 meters away from the TV.

Still interested in picture of them turned on wallmount if anybody has it :-)

On the bottom of the floorstands they’re connected with a sort of bolt/nut thing. They are rotatable on the floorstand. So i expect the same for the wall, they only thing i can think of is that 90 degrees may not work exactly because of the wood frets with the distance from the wall. It looks like 80-85 degrees will be possible, do you have a dealer nearby? Go by and turn them. The wall mounts are almost identical to the bl8000 and this is what i found, so looks good for your aplicationBig Smile
