Kan they be wall mounted..
Posted by: Scott Mckenzie on 16 October 2001
Basically I have a problem, having recently finished uni, my large Mordaunt Short speakers are a bit much for my now smaller room - ironic my uni room was bigger! As you may be aware I have been asking a few questions recently regarding changing CD players/Speakers. I have since borrowed some Rega Ela's and even these don't sound right. I have been quite silly in the fact that there is no way I could have expected many speakers to sound good as they are currently facing into the room but are placed diagonally opposite each other at the corners of my room.
I don't really know why I expected them to sound good. The problem is though that all of my furniture is fitted and therefore cannot be moved to accomodate speakers. Therefore, the plan is to purchase some wall mountable speakers as these could then be placed on the long side facing wall and I may want to listen my music again.
After all that, is it possible to mount Kans on the walls, Linn mention something about 'Brakits' when they show the Kan on the website, but then i can find nothing else out about it. I therefore assume that they can but will they sound any good. The other speakers i have seen/been offered include Dynaudio Audience 40/42/42W, Proac Tablette 50, Kans, Rega Ara or Castle Richmond.
From what i understand that the Proac's are excellent but need free space so pointless auditioning. Therefore the Kans, Dyn's, Castle or Rega's. Does anyone have any experience of wall/shelf mounting any of the above, if so please help.

P.S. Sorry for all the questions...
