From the description of the item, I expected to get 2 mounts, one for each speaker (Omnimount 5.0 Stainless Steel Speaker Mounts (White)by OmniMount) Notice the plural use of the word Mounts? I was quite surprised to find only one in the box. [...]

The brackets were difficult to mount to wall. The anchor screws pulled loose. The mounting system does not hold the weight of the speaker. The speaker tilts even after tightening.

Be sure you know the diameter or type of threading your speaker has when buying a mount. I matched up the weight specs only, thinking that the threaded part of the mount was universal. I bought the OmniMount 5.0 for my ProMonitor 600 speakers, but the mount was too narrow. If your speaker says it's 1/4-20 (as the ProMonitor 600's are), then get the OmniMount 10.0 instead. I'm rating the mount 5* since it seems to be of high quality. I just ordered the wrong thing.

I used these to mount my Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers. These speakers are fairly small (2.9 lbs) so there wasn't any issue with the weight. They were easy to install, had solid construction, and allows you to position the speakers in just about any angle you need.

Easy to install. Strong, and holds the weight of my Bose dual speaker. Other reviews had me worried because they said it did not hold the weight, that it tilts even after tightening, and that it was difficult to install. I literally installed it in 15 minutes (ceiling mount in dry wall...not even in a wood stud), and it is plenty solid to hold the weight of the speaker and the ball clamp holds the position just fine when you tighten the bolt enough. Also, the description was clear that you only get one mount with the order. I definitely recommend the product.

I picked this up to use with my Sony DAV-DZ170 Theatre System. Fits the surround speakers perfectly!

Not a whole lot to say about this guy. It mounts up to the wall just fine so long as you are careful about it (and depending on the type of surface you are mounting to). Once in, the clamp and ball style makes mounting the speakers REALLY easy. You just remove the ball and stud, screw it into the speaker until snug, then pop the speaker into place. Tighten the speaker, position it, then give it a final snug to keep it where you set it. It supports both the wall and ceiling, and the angles available are pretty much limitless.

If this fits your speakers, definitely give it a go. I couldn't be happier with them.

I have had a pair of these mounts for nearly 7 years now that suspended my rear surround speakers, which are fairly heavy. I found them to be easy to install, as long as you know how to install wall achors in drywall. They never gave me any problems with comming lose at the ball joint. I read the review stating they thought there were 2 mounts because of the description. That review was in 2003 and it appears Amazon has corrected the title since then. I plan to purchase 2 more mounts to suspend my center channel speaker.
