Can these speakers be wall mounted? null
Question regarding Bose surround speaker mounting
I would think you are right about the fire hazard. It may not be a high risk, but it's a risk.
The other thing to consider is, if the power pack becomes faulty, or you need to reset the connections, you then have to get to the power pack.
From my experience most will either install it in the ceiling (if there's a ceiling space), or just run the speaker cables through the wall and have the power pack in a cabinet or under the couch.

Surround speaker mount help!
I’m planning on wall mounting my house surround 700 speakers and I have some questions about the best way to hide the a power brick.
I was planning on passing the proprietary cable through a hole in the wall down toward the floor where I have regular power plugs. Would it be reasonable to hide the brick in the wall itself and then pass the power cable through a grommet and plug into the power plug outside the wall. Is this a reasonable idea? Is it a bad idea to have the brick inside the wall from a fire hazard perspective?
I have been waiting for several months for a deal on the Bose surround speaker 700 and they finally went on sale on Bose.ca with a refurbed model for $539 CAD. The Bose OmniJewl floor stands for the surround 700 are beautiful. They mount from the bottom of the speaker and look fantastic but at $199 CAD and without height adjustment, I couldn't justify it.
I did some research for alternative speaker stands but I surprisingly couldn't find much at all. I read the wall mount should work but I didn't really know until I ordered the wall mount and speaker stand. They do in fact work fine together and here are the instructions for anyone who was in my situation. (I omitted the obvious steps)
Bose Surround Speakers 700 - Refurbished - $539 CAD
Wall Mount Brackets for Bose Surround Speakers 700 - $25 CAD (like $15 CAD on Aliexpress)
PrimeCable Height adjustable Metal Satellite Speaker Floor Stands - $30 CAD (Monoprice rebrand??)
Connect the wall mount into the speaker interface and use the screws to connect them together. The screws are included in the wall mount kit.
Run the power cable through the bottom of the speaker stand tube until it comes out the top and string it through the largest hole on the bottom of the speaker mount connector.
Connect the power cables to the speaker interface and then use a nut and bolt to connect the wall mount to the speaker mount connector. Unfortunately none of the bolts included with the speaker stand fit the wall mount but even if they did, they don't include any nuts as it assumes the speaker has threaded mounting insert. Obviously the 700s does not which is why the wall mount is required. You will need to find your own bolt and nut that fits.
I'm not sure if I am missing something obvious but if you run the speaker/power cable through the tube and out the bottom, there is nothing to allow the stand to be flush with the ground because of the cable so the speaker will be unbalanced. WTF. Anyway, I installed some furniture pads and ran the cable between. They were 1.5" in size each.
