Charles, there are some garage "organizational" systems that work like that. They allow you to hang cabinets in various spots for example. Another idea would be to run a french cleat along the wall, allowing you to at least change direction horizontally.

I do like the term "french cleat." Oh la la. What's sad is that I have ceiling brackets for all of my QS8s for when I move my system to the basement, so I'll probably end up using those, especially considering the walls will probably be too far away from the seating, at least for the rear surrounds. I guess I was still curious about this idea, though.

Even if I don't use the slatwall idea for flexible speaker placement, I may use it for some media shelving. I'll have to find some swanky-looking slatwalls.

Both the cleats and slat wall ideas are nice. I think the slat wall is my new favorite.

Or maybe you build a room that slides while your seat stays static.

Mark's French cleat (that's Francais for "camel toe," I think) is pretty close to a wall slat system. Just flip the top board around and your reveal is a sliding dovetail.
If one were satisfied with inelegant for set up, it wouldn't be that difficult to whip somthing together, then permanently place speakers where you liked best. A couple of hd fully articulating ball joints, etc.
The remote part's a bitch----servos, relays, 12v power... Have you checked out the international slave trade lately?

I'm thinking galvanized steel "wallpaper" and strong magnetic mounts might do the trick.

I really like the steel wallpaper/magnets idea (you know, they make magnetic paint now). However, I'm still leaning toward the slave trade. They can be ordered in just about any height and color you like. You could dress 'em up to match the sofa throw pillows, I suppose, but I would prefer a natural look. Though there's something to be said for painting them to match the walls, so they'll sort of disappear. And the baffle posibilities provided by head and body hair, wow! You may even find a way to conceal the wires, too, if you don't mind "doctoring" them up a little. And, I'll bet, if you travel around a bit looking, that you could get 'em for not much more than Axiom's stands.
