Maybe not flush with the wall but even really thin would be nice. When I was 
a child I assumed by now stereo speakers would be so thin they would just 
hand on the wall like paintings.  When Acoustats and Magnaplanars and ribbons 
tweeters came out I thought we were on the way.  But no.  Only Fostex went 
with a 1.75" deep wall mount speaker.  But now I am thinking of something 
similar for my Synth.com modules.  I could build a case just 2.5" deep (knobs 
stick out beyond that).  If I wanted to get really anal I could use shorter 
PCB spacers and replace the wire headers with direct soldering to the PCB.  
Then I could get down to a 1.75" deep cabinet.  I'm thinking of going with a 
really thin case like this that can sit nicely in my Quiklok studio locator 
stand that rolls around where every I want it.
