gets the job done nicely, January 18, 2009

They’re pretty good at doing what they’re supposed to do. Relatively easy to mount up and strong enough for pretty heavy speakers (2.86 lbs). Of course it’s a little pricey but what choice do you have? These are the cheapest ones that get the job done nicely. The only weakness I notices was with the keyhole mount option. It has a little give but then again there’s only one screw holding the speaker to the mount. Don’t be afraid to tighten all those screws down really hard to get them to stay where you want them, the mount can handle it. Also, I’ll share what helped me to mount them in the exact position I wanted them in.

Just a simple guide in case you’re having trouble on how to go about it.

1. I separated the pieces (except for the elbow joint).

2. I mounted the end piece to the speakers tightly so there’s no give.

3. I taped up all the wall mounts to test out the optimal spots for the speakers then attached them with the supplied hardware.

4. I took one speaker at a time and put the slightly tightened elbow to it and wiggled them around on the wall attachment till I had them in a good position.

5. I then gently slipped off the speaker and tightened the elbow in the right position on the wall (both the actual elbow and where the elbow connects to the wall mount).

6. Ran the wiring to the mounts (good luck, it sucks getting the wires around living rooms nicely)

7. attached the speaker wires to the speaker and tightened the speaker mount to the elbow.

8. Voila!!! What a pain, especially on a 7.1 system, but so worth it in the end. Wow, I feel like a real handy man now (or handy person, no offense ladies).

Inexpensive, sturdy, and easy to install, December 4, 2008

I was somewhat hesitant when I chose these speaker mounts because the price was so low and my surround speakers are close to the max rated load (rated at 8 lbs, my speakers are 7.7lbs). Also, the speakers are very large, with a size of 7.88″ x 10.81″ x 6.63″. They are the surrounds that come with the Onkyo HTS-9100THX.

Installation was simple and they felt firmly mounted to the wall (I used the drywall anchors). The speakers are sturdy in place, despite being so large.

Worked out well!!!, March 20, 2009

Bought these with Amazon Prime next day shipping. Received next day and they were ready for my TV and Home Theater installer. The only thing about these is that they will go up and down only-not side to side. So if you want multi directional-dont buy these. Otherwise they are certainly strong enough to hold up to 10 pounds without any problem.
