Is it possible you may be able to mount them from the ceiling instead?
Wall mounting Totem Rainmakers
Hi.
I posed this question as part of a larger thread on the misc. forum but no one responded.
I'm buying new speakers and after demoing a lot I think I want the Totem Rainmakers. (I also loved the Dreamcatchers, in fact, possibly even prefer their midrange and gorgeous soundstage for vocals, but ultimately I think I'll miss not being able to have more bottom end.)
I have a one-year-old and am afraid to put the speakers on stands bc there's too high of a chance she'll bang into them as she's just starting to toddle around. I called Totem and they said wall mounting Rainmakers is perfectly fine, though they don't offer wallmounts for them and I'd need to use a third-party manufacturer. (Not a prob - I found a pair that hold up to 50 lbs and hold the speakers via adjustable bracket on bottom/sides that won't mark or alter them.) My concern/question is - will the Rainmakers sound too boomy/bassy wall mounted since they'll be so close to the wall? They sounded beautiful, and perfectly balanced in the several stores I listened to them, but they were on stands or a shelf. I could get the Dreamcatchers, which are smaller and I suspect wouldn't suffer from being wall mounted, and get a matching sub. But I've always preferred the unified sound of two speakers rather than a sub and satellites. Any advice or opinions would be great!
Thanks!
