Welcome Daniel!
For what it's worth, the QS series are very forgiving speakers in terms of placement. One inch may be pushing it a bit, but remember that you will more likely perceive spacial cues by what's being emitted by the tweeters... and you DO still have a down-firing woofer there as well.
I would say that if you CAN tilt them down a bit, it would be the safest bet. But honestly, you might be OK with them just close to the ceiling as well. Many of us have had success with the QS series in less-than-ideal rooms and mounting locations.
In addition to a
bracket such as this, if you're handy you could always build a slight wedge-shaped "box" to go between the wall and the speaker.
Thanks for the welcome. I've been on AVSforum for a few years, but when I started considering Axiom some suggested I come over here to get some answers also.
Great advice, thanks. The "full metal jacket" er. I mean "bracket" may be the way to go anyway, the place I want to put them is even partially in front of the top edge a doorway. I could mount the bracket right next to the moulding, and the speaker could hang a little in front of the moulding and point slightly down.
I also like the 5% off 5 or more items deal. For my setup, it means 2 brackets added to the order for $34! I'd be getting two M2s for the back of the room.
I really like how compact the QS4s are - it's convenient. I didn't really look before, but being only 6.5" tall, I might be able to get 2 or maybe 3 inches above them.
Any other corroborating comments?
