Shawn: You will get lots of valid, yet differing opinions here. Most people seem to have wall mounted theirs. Because I have floor-ceiling windows, I had no choice but stands. They look cool enough, but, far more importantly, they are enormously placement-forgiving because their dispersion is so good.

I'm very pleased having them on stands. They also make it a hell of a lot easier to move the speakers around the room while searching out their optimal placement.

Good luck.

Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.
