The other issue is the sound from the two drivers underneath the speaker. If the speaker is flush to the wall, you will effectively lose half of your sound!

Probably not half but some. Depends on where the crossover is to the front speakers, I am not familiar with the Beolabs in question. Might be able to compensate by setting the crossover freq for the surround processor for the center higher. 

There are two drivers on the underside of the cabinet halfway between the front and back. If the speaker was flush mounted in the wall, these drivers would be behind the wall.

There is a tv - and there is a BV.

That's how a nerd listening room should look like.

Ah, interesting.

 

no ports or anything round the back ?

i can probaby " recess" this in,even easier.

 

thansk will go and do some investigation.

The 7.4 has nothing at the rear apart from the connections and the mounting plate.  It would actually look quite good recessed into a wall with just he front cover and acoustic lens sticking out.  The rear is flush and vertical.

Can swap your BL7.6 for my BL7.4.

Also consider the BL10. Might be even more fancy.

@dpickup

Why must you hide the 7-6?

Why not just use it as it is supposed to?

It's a speaker, not a flatscreen.
