What's the best way to mount a Polk OWM speaker?

[srinivas1015]

Just received the Polk OWM5 speakers that I plan on using as height channels.

I'm thinking of just hanging them on two nails/screws. Is it safer to use the mount provided? If so, can someone tell me how the mount is to be used? The manual isn't clear about this.

The safer will be front heights, inclined downwards. R u going to use for atmos.
What is the configuration.

My receiver supports only 9.1 so I'm going to use them as rear heights for atmos.

But by safer, I hope they won't fall off if I put them up with just the screws? I'm not sure about inclining them downwards as it may not be as sturdy.

I have mine on a single screw and they are very stable on the wall. I use them as rear surrounds.

OWM has a lot of mounting options and yes you can hang them on 2 screws and it won't fall. I have installed OWM3 as surrounds for my 5.1 setup and they look and perform outstanding. Check the pics !!

Can Omw5 be used as Dolby Atmos speakers, height speakers I mean? Anybody using them for Atmos? How is the overall experience?

I've not used them nor auditioned them, but after reading numerous reviews on various sites and forums, the OWM5 looks promising and will do the justice for atoms or height speakers. It can even be used as surrounds, well the specs says it all. You can audition them at a store and request them to connect these speakers as heights/atmos/surrounds and then decide.

For this price point I personally feel this should be very good, and being a Polk user it can't go wrong.

I was mentioning the mounting option, as per photos posted by Dinesh29888. U can try that, with front and rear heights

Just check Def Tech GEM XL speakar. They are more promising option for Dolby Atmos speakers but Polk OWM 3/5 are cheaper than Def Tech GEM XL.
