hey synthdude, i'm planning on buying the X-530s but there's one thing troubling me, when you flipped the speaker stand to mount it, do you use screws or something to mount it onto the wall?

Yeah, I used a simple 3/4" #8 flat head wood screw (well, two of them) screwed into the wall with just a little of the head exposed, then you basically "hang" the speaker stand on top of it like you would a picture frame or clock or something. Let me know if you need any more help (or pics), etc.

I just got my Z-5500 yesterday and am going to try and mount the rear speakers (and maybe the front left/rights) tonight. Pics if all goes well! Good thing this thread showed up, I wasn''t sure if I should just screw them into the wall or not... seems kinda crude, but should work! 
But ya think these speakers can hang on drywall? Or should I put them in studs? (which may not be optimally located)

i think most speakers can hang on drywall...depends on the weight/size
anyways, i have a question to those who currently have a 5.1 system, because of size/length of cables and my room, i would not be able to put the speakers directly behind me. I was wondering if putting the speakers approximately 1 metre behind me mounted on the left/right wall would work. The speakers would be the X-530, so you won't be able to tilt the speakers when mounted

wow, i couldn't find a picture....but yeah, that's basically what i was thinking about but the bottom speakers can not be angled to point at me, would this setup still work? I would be playing games and i would like the 5.1 system to allow me to hear where the enemy is. If this setup isn't fairly good, i'll go for a 2.1 setup. Thanks for all your time.

Because of room limitation I kind of have my own surround speakers pointed almost forwards. Still works fine for me.

as my setup would be for gaming, do think that this setup would be adequate for pin pointing the enemies in game?

More than a 2.1 setup would be.
Even if the speaker isn't pointed right at you, you'll still be able to tell the sound is coming from the side of you.
