I am replacing some aging Paradigm Atoms. I am very interested in the B1+. However I need to wall mount them with limited space. I also see the Emotiva wall mount is not available. What would you advise to use instead, and is the Emotiva wall mount adjustable for toein and also tilting the speaker down ? Also will the B1+ ever be available in white ?

<button disabled="" class="c-attachment-insert--linked o-btn--sm">Attachment Deleted</button> Those are the ones I use. The only down-side is that you cannot tilt the speaker down very much, which can be problematic with the Airmotive tweeters. |

Is the reason you can't tilt them down, because they would slide off. From my understanding the newest versions of the B1+ actually have threaded inserts on the bottom of the speaker ? On Emotiva's own mount there are 2 elongated slots on the mounting plate, which I think are for the inserts. Mine will actually have to be tilted down quite a bit.

Yes, that lowers the tweeter a few inches, but that would not help in my case, they are mounted around 8' high. Even the Emotiva mounts don't angle down very much. The B1+ would significantly benefit from an increased angle in my setup. Wish I could find a mount that would allow the speakers to lay sideways, that would take advantage of the broader horizontal dispersion of the tweeters. |

The speaker mounts (both the Emotiva and the ones I use) do not angle down very much, they physically cannot do it. I need to angle mine down quite a bit as well, but have not come up with a solution yet. |
