"It won't harm the speakers".
Well, I think I'll try the rear mounts first, and see how it goes before drilling my new surrounds (when they arrive).
Last week I called Ascend, and spoke with Dave, and was told the same thing. He assured me that it would not hurt the 200's accoustically to mount them with wood screws from the side. I am in much the same situation, and on one hand am hesitant about doing this. But, if you cannot trust the man who designed and manufactured the speakers, who can you trust?
I have not yet ordered my 200's, will in the next 2 weeks, we'll see. Let us know how it goes for you.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it's all about?
