Do the speakers fire down from the bottom of the set. I am looking to place one on a shelf in my kitchen. Thanks.

I actually put them on speaker stands so they are at ear level when i sit down. If you hang it, maybe find a stud to anchor it. They sound great for mid range set.

I have them laid on the side over cabinets in my garage. I detected no change in listening to my ears. Great speakers.

No they do not. These are at least bookshelf speakers - they have a large footprint.

I agree with the statement below, I put mine on shelves due to the backfiring bass port hole assuming they had to "breathe", they work great - I'm a cook that they face my cooking space, perfect profile for the space!

I have mine attached to a lower wattage receiver and they work very well. I shifted from a high quality floor standing speaker to these, hanging them on the wall, and am highly satisfied. There one of the very few bookshelf systems designed for wall mounting if one wants.S

They are bookshelf speakers so they should really sit at ear level. I am sure you can side them directly on the floor but not sure how they will respond sonically. These are decent speakers for the price. Get some speakers stands to help you out and good luck.

They are on the bottom. They actually work well, too. Many times I can hear the stereo even though they are right there together. They run across the whole bottom length.

They seem to project around 180deg. from the speakers. I have 4 of them (2 sets in 2 differant rooms) in 7.2 and 5.1 configs. and like that they project sound well. I didnt need to be AS concerned as to their projection placement as alot of other speakers I have worked with. I think WHAT you have in the room is a greater concern than where you place the speaker itself.Once the sound has left the speaker,alot of things will eather absorb, or reflect the sound.Their placement in relation to those objects is definatly somthing to concern yourself with, but that is true with ANY speaker you work with.

Yes, they do. Also, I've found that if you put a piece of foam or rubber behind the lower part of the speakers, they don't touch the wall and produce no vibrations. :-)

I mounted mine under the room ledge and they sound great. I mounted them vertically and the bass reflects off the overhang. Great outdoor speakers with really good sound. I have one each on the corners and 2 round ceiling speakers centered on the lanai. They work great together

You are absolutely correct. Put one speaker out on your patio. Turn the volume up and then from a 50FT away walk in front of the speakers path and prepare to be BLASTED. Walk out of that path just a bit and gone. The sound from these speakers have an almost laser beam like effect when compared to regular speakers. Another trick is to sit down and start listening and then have a friend grab the top of the speaker and tilt it back so the speaker is pointing upwards a bit. The speaker will seem to disappear from your hearing. Not the normal behavior of a regular speaker. So what does that mean? Well it means that more of the energy is being tightly focused to the listening position and less is making its way around the house. Great speakers...

They do not. My solution was to get a shelf cut a little bigger than the size of the speakers to place them on. Remember that they are big bookshelf speakers.

The speakers are smaller than what they appear in the picture. I was planning to buy stands as well, but once received the speakers, I realized that they were small enough to place them at the two edges of the TV stand. I use them with a Sony 46" TV and they are short enough that they blend with TV lower speaker bar and do not create any distraction with TV viewing. The rear speakers have keyhole mount, so you can use picture bracket and screw to secure the to the wall.

This soundbar is meant to be placed below the TV especially if your mounting it on the wall. The speakers are positioned to accommodate sound coming up and straight when placed below the tv. It won't sound that great placed above.

I have a set mounted in the ceiling of my Den. They are set up as 2nd speakers from a JVC Stereo system. They aren't Bose quality, but for the price they are more than adequate.
