My ears are about 3 feet off the floor. My bed never moves, and I don't have the room for floor stands. The picture below shows the opposite wall (behind me). The bedside table (on my right) can't really be home for one of the M5's because wash basins get placed there regularly. I also can't have anything directly behind my bed because my caregivers need to get in there to move me up in bed, wash my hair etc. The only thing I can think of is mounting both M5's on the wall with two FMB's behind me as Bridgeman suggested (blue dots). I just really dislike having to disturb the vapor barrier. Thoughts? Will they still sound perfectly fine if they're slightly behind me? Hopefully Ian will see this and comment. Thanks again, everyone.  I would greatly appreciate feedback from Ian regarding mounting the speakers about a foot behind my head, in the placement shown above. I don't have room for stands in front of me. Thanks

Hmmmmm. Unfortunate Ian hasn't replied. I've asked for his input twice now, and both have gone unanswered. I value his input.

No, they wont sound perfectly fine. Google "sound localization" and think about where humans have evolved to hear sound from. They will sound like surrounds in a theater setup. The difference is they will be hard panned sounds without front soundstage channels to anchor to.... The HRTF is going to shadow any sound from summing to create a front soundstage. Just nebulous late room spatial cues without direct sound for precedence.  I have no business replying.... But I do know laying between two channels as a stereo pair will not sound like a normal stereo presentation. Angled ceiling LCRs would be better, but you will have to think about aligning your phantom image with the display image if you hope to use them for multipurpose.

Thanks, Serenity. That does make sense. Looks like in-walls would be best, if they can be tweaked somehow to allow for toe-in.
It's never easy figuring stuff out to work with my disability or situation.

Hi Cam,
There have been some great suggestions here. I am liking the ceiling mounting the best if that can work. We could make brackets that would hang M5HP Bookshelf from the ceiling angled down towards you. It would be best to get them as low as possible without the risk of someone hitting their head on one.

Thank you very much for the reply, Ian. I like your idea. I just hope that two speakers hanging from my bedroom ceiling will look unsightly.
I'll try to do some measuring with a caregiver (finding time for non care related stuff is hard).
Again... thank you
