Not bad. My Celestions are on shelves. Solid wood jobs with chunky steel brackets. Foam tape between the brackets and the brick wall and little adhesive rubber pads between the speakers and surface of the shelf. Sounds great to me. To be honest the reverberations from the half down guitars in the vicinity are more likely to cause aural coloration than anything to do with the shelf or walls vibrating.
Having said that, the best I've ever heard them was when they were sat on a thick marble mantelpiece firing across the room rather than down it. Not sure how much of that was mounting, positioning or the fact that they were new (to me) at that point. I have very clear aural memories of hearing them there and being blown away. Perhaps i've just got used to them now?
