We investigate the KaluzaKlein reductions to ten dimensions of the purely gravitational half-BPS M-theory backgrounds: the M-wave and the KaluzaKlein monopole. We determine the moduli space of smooth (supersymmetric) KaluzaKlein reductions by classifying the freely acting spacelike Killing vectors which preserve some Killing spinor. As a consequence we find a wealth of new supersymmetric IIA configurations involving composite and/or bound-state configurations of waves, D0 and D6-branes, KaluzaKlein monopoles in type IIA and flux/nullbranes, and some other new configurations. Some new features raised by the geometry of the TaubNUT space are discussed, namely the existence of reductions with no continuous moduli. We also propose an interpretation of the flux 5-brane in terms of the local description (close to the branes) of a bound state of D6-branes and ten-dimensional KaluzaKlein monopoles.
