There isn't really a right or wrong mounting for these. They can be vertical or horizontal. Mine are mounted vertically as surround speakers. You CAN use them as front mains, but they aren't really designed for serious sound or to produce lower frequencies. They'll do fine for normal TV viewing, but I still wouldn't consider them as fronts for a fully designed system (5.1 or 7.1). If paired with a subwoofer you may be content, but I wouldn't think you'd be happy.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.While more commonly used as a rear speaker, the 161's can absolutely be used as front-channel speakers. Mounting in horizontal or vertical configuration is acceptable. For more details on speaker placement and mounting, see the Owner's guide for the 161 speakers here: http://bit.ly/MfP92v Hope this helps!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.these speakers are designed for music so they make a better rear speaker and horizontal is the proper position so it can bounce of side walls for the sound.
