Monitors Mounted On Wall

If you had to mount really good monitor speakers on a wall what speaker would you select and how would you mount it. I have a bedroom setup where I am using a 100 wpc into 8 ohms 5 channel amp to run a surround system. I have no choice but to hang the main speakers on the wall. Don't tell me how I losing the best of the speakers by doing this I already know. No choice. I am interested in the groups input as to what speakers would work best in this application. Price is flexible. I would be will to use a more high end monitor such as a Revel M20 if it wasn't a waste under the circumstances.

Second the Sound Dynamics. I have a pair of RTS 3's. They have a front port and work pretty well when place up against the wall. They work well on stands well out into the room as well. A versatile little speaker - dirt cheap.

I have heard Spendor s3/5 mounted on the wall with target wall mounts (no swivel, spiked stands). Lost some of the imaging but retained a very nice tonal balance, with no noticeable boom. Amp was Quad 405.

If you to experiment, I would try the M20's. They have controls on the back that allow for different room placements. One for bass and also one for treble. Bass has two selections: Stand Mount, or Wall mount. You may be able to taylor the sound to your needs.

Linn Sekrits are little known. An unconventional looking speaker, they're only 5 inches deep in a polymer case. Mounted on their dedicated stands, they are better than Tukans (more transparent and better bass), but they are made to be hung on a wall. This version of the Sekrit is discontinued; Linn still makes an in-wall version. However, there is a like-new pair of the on-walls on AGon now for $329 -- that is a real bargain and makes me wish I had a use for them. They can be hung on a hefty picture hook, but Linn makes a Brakit for more rigid wall mounting.
