Best way to mount speakers to wall (1 Viewer)

[Autoengineer]

My surround speakers are Phase Tech Teatros with a 5 1/4" mid and 1 inch tweeter. They weigh about 12lbs each and are about 11" high x 7" wide and 8" deep. I'd like to put the 2 rears up high on the wall. Whats the best way to do this? I've seen mounts that require putting screws into the speaker. Will that damage the speaker or change its sound? I've also seen these screened enclosures that go into the wall and the speaker sits in. Any recommendations or suggestions? Thanks.

Look into using a shelf on the wall and set the speakers on the shelf.

No, but you might want to pull out the woofer and have a look inside first. You sure don’t want to sink a screw right in the middle of the crossover!
