These are totally plastic. Even though they're rated up to 10 pounds, good luck. I have a set of Aperion Audio 422 speakers and the center channel (largest speaker) weighs 7 pounds. Even with one of the mounting screws going directly into a wall stud, the mount is barely able to hold the speaker and the top of the mount is pulled away from the wall. I can't believe anyone would pay over $20 for these, let alone >$50

I bought these mounts to go along with my new home theater system, Onkyo HT-SR800 Home theater audio system with 7 speakers and powered subwoofer Black. This system only has a keyhole slot on the back of the speakers, and these universal mounts where the cheapest solution I saw to allow one to angle key hole mounts.

Pros:

1. The mounts where cheap and if you need to mount 6 different speakers thats important.

2. For speakers of about 5lbs or less these will do a fine job, they held on the satellite speakers, with no problems.

3. Fairly easy to put together, attach one piece to the back of the speakers, another to the wall, attach the two and tighten a screw and your done.

Cons:

1. Really shoddy construction, all of the pieces attach together via tightening of a flat head screw and pressure. The plastic used is very weak and so the screw leaves marks in the plastic even when tightened by hand. In fact, in one case while attempting to tighten the screw sufficiently I managed to screw right through the bracket ruining that piece.

2. Not strong enough to hold heavier front speakers: the front speakers on my system are a fair amount larger then the back and heavier, I think around 10 lbs. The mounts looked like they would not support the weight, despite what it claims. It looked like they would snap off at the joints, I took them off before I actually found out and bought the B-tech mounts, B-TECH BT1 Universal Speaker Bracket for Small Speakers (Pair per box) for the front speakers.

Great deal for 5 mounts! They were easy to install and there were several speaker mounting options included. My only minor complaint is they only include 1 bolt per speaker mount. If your speaker has two threaded mounting holes on the back, you'll probably want to purchase another bolt from a local hardware store (for about $0.45 ea).

This is a good option if you do not want to spend too much. There are couple of catches that I think you should be aware of:

1. Mounts are made of plastic

2. There is no conduit built within the mount through which you can run speaker wire.

These mounts work great. My only complaint with them is that since they are plastic, if you overtighten one of the bolts you'll ruin the mount. They come with plenty of mounting options depending on the speakers you are installing. I bought these mounts for an onkyo system and the speakers are roughly 6" by 10" and these mounts work great. They include all the hardware you would need to secure them to the speaker and the wall itself.

These mounts helped finish off my new home theatre room with the look of a professional instalation.

These mounts are the best buy for your money.....I have a 7.1 system and used these for my surround speakers.......If you speakers weigh more than 7lbs I would suggest using the B-Tech BT1 mount which is great for heavier speakers which is what I used for my front left/right speakers and I used the B-Tech BT33 for my center.....

If you are thinking about getting these with the Onkyo system package deal, don't bother. The Onkyo speakers have a small threaded brass hole on the back of them just like every other satellite speaker I've ever seen.

But these mounts don't have anything (at least that I could figure out) that would "universally" attach to that threaded hole. I wasn't about to drill into a perfectly good speaker box to attach a mounting plate when the speaker already has a mounting method (it just didn't include any). Besides, the Onkyo speakers I was going to mount are plastic and from my experience, trying to attach something to this plastic is just asking for trouble later. The plastic is too thin and eventually due to the soundwaves and vibration, it will work itself loose.

These would probably be great for speakers that have a wood back or no other method for mounting.

The product works in holding small satellite speakers. However, the quality is not great. The nuts and bolts don't fit very well with one another. I need to make many twists before they can fit to the key hole of the speakers (Onkyo SR-800). You get what you pay for.

I got this product not really expecting much but it is a bargain. I didn't give it 5 stars just because it isn't all the best thing since sliced bread. But for those wanting an inexpensive wall mount kit, this is it. It is high quality and you won't be disappointed with your purchase.

FAIRLY SOLID CONSTRUCTION. THE MATERIAL HAS A LITTLE TOO MUCH FLEX AND THE MOUNTING SCREWS CAN BE FORCED THROUGH THE HOLES. IT IS NOT REALLY A PROBLEM IF YOU ARE CAREFUL. IN GENERAL PRETTY GOOD, FOR THE PRICE AN EXCELLENT VALUE. THIS IS THE SECOND PURCHASE OF THESE MOUNTS FOR ME AND I WOULD NOT HAVE ORDERED THEM AGAIN IF UNSATISFIED WITH THE FIRST ORDER
