Wall mounts are often a compromise as they were put up there to get ‘em out of the way in the first place.
Well if you need them out of the way then you need them out of the way, and of course it works having them tilted down up in a corner to get a somwhat decent sound around the whole room.
Like in a pub.But if sitting on a fixed spot (like on chair, at a desk) most of the time I'd really get them somewhat level with your ears and establish a stereo triangle, it sounds a lot better.
So in that sense wall mounts are not a compromise at all - but a way to get your speakers to the points they should be at when there doesn't happen to be a piece of furniture or whatever that you can put them on top on.

Wall mounts are often a compromise as they were put up there to get ‘em out of the way in the first place. Our little kitchen speakers are at around 2.5m above the floor: being angled down and in allows a decent listening experience for the dishwasher. That’s me.
