A: Best Buy site online usually says if they're in stock and if they have any as a display model, usually a magnolia hifi. I bought my 7 Martin Logan speakers through their sight and it was purchased per speaker.
A: Comes with wall and corner mount brackets, but they are not the easiest to use.
Q: Are these speakers wireless what else would you need to set up with this system
A: Not wireless. You can use a rocket fish wireless speaker adapter if you do choose.
A: I would used 2 as surrounds speakers at hears level. Keep the other one for you back surrounds when you can afford and other one. I would not use it as ceiling surround speaker. ML has some great speakers specially for ceiling mounted that would be more secure. Hope that help!

Doesn’t accept banana plugs
Phenomenal sound, but huge. Definitely not a speaker that you can hide away, but sound stage is amazing. Unfortunately the design does not allow for use of banana plugs.

Martin Logan FX2 - Excellent Surround Speaker
Excellent surround speaker. Can’t wait to buy another pair for my left and right surrounds. BTW, I am a big fan of B&W, but I have to admit that, after I replaced my B&W left and right back surrounds with ML FX2 ones, the difference was phenomenal in terms of details, and richness of the sound. I would definitely recommend ML FX 2 to anyone building a dedicated home theater.

Martin Logan
Bought on an open box deal. Did not have mounting brackets but I placed them on speaker stands. They fit well on the stands. I have them connected to a marantz sr7013 and using for surrounds. Works and sounds awesome for surround. They can go low enough on hz that they provide bass for surrounds. Crystal clear sound hear every detail. Wish I could find two more so I can add a rear surround channel also.
