I've only had the speakers a week or so but in that time they seem to work just great. I put them on a pair of IsoAcoustics ISO-155 Medium Speaker Monitor Acoustic Isolation Stands. Both seem to go together quite well. If I have any problems in the weeks or months to come I'll up date this review.

What would be a good way to wall mount these? Is there a hole in the bottom?
Asked by: Brandon
The JBL 305P MkII Studio Monitors do not have a pole-mount socket on the bottom, but they can be wall-mounted with brackets such as the Mount-It! MI-SB37 Universal Speaker Wall Mounts - Pair (B&amp;H # MOMISB37).
