5.0 out of 5 stars THE solution for pre-wired homes., January 13, 2009

By

If you purchase a home that is pre-wired for surround, it may come with each speaker terminal mounted on a single-gang electrical box (or J-box) with a blank plate covering it. You can get any normal wall mount for your speakers, but most mounts do not mount on a J-box and you'll end up with a plate next to the mount. I wanted something cleaner and this mount does the trick. The plate itself is the mount.

This thing is pretty universal, and comes with screws and mounting options for various speakers. I installed my Sony satellites without a problem.

Using these mounts I kept my install clean.

It's also worth note that these can also be mounted directly into a stud or drywall, but these are a little pricier for that application and there are other options out there that do the job cheaper.

I'm absolutely satisfied with this purchase and would recommend them to anyone who has pre-wired surround installed with single-gang J-boxes.

1.0 out of 5 stars Weight Capacity, February 12, 2010

The mount claims it can support up to 11 pounds when anchored to a stud. Technically that is true; however, although the mount itself will remain attached to the wall when a 10 pound speaker is used (which is what I have), the ball and socket joint that allows you to position the speaker lacks the ability to hold 10 pounds in the desired position. Regardless of how tight you set the screws in the socket joint, the weight of the speaker drags the joint downard, causing the speaker to be aimed at the floor.

I would definitely use this mount for a speaker in the 5 pound range, but the mount clearly is not strong enough to hold 10 pounds, nevermind live up to its 11 pound claim.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor construction, March 5, 2009

This review is from: Pinpoint Black Speaker Wall/Ceiling Mount for Pre-Wired Home Theater - Pinpoint AM20B (Electronics)

I bought a pair of these to hold my front surround speakers. My speakers are only about 8 pounds and these mounts are not up to the task. Poorly constructed and difficult to adjust.

One of the mounts was defective. Unfortunately, since it is sold by J&R and not Amazon proper, the return process is inconvenient and I would be forced to pay return shipping, even though the product was defective.
