Hi Rodney,

The QS8s do come with free brackets that allow mounting them flush against the wall. You have to drill holes in the wall. The speakers "hang" on a T-shaped bracket. You must use bare wire connections (no room for banana plugs) if you use the supplied brackets.

I'd err on the side of caution and use 14-gauge (or 12 gauge) for a 30-ft run, to eliminate resistance as a factor.
