Works as advertised
This is a versatile sturdy product. It works well and I recommend it for a lower cost mount. I mounted the Onkyo HT-6100 speakers on this and it worked great. The extentions that come with the mount really came in handy for my speakers.

Don't hold rated weight
According to the manufacturer's site these are supposed to hold speakers up to 8 pounds. I have the Energy Take Classic speakers that weigh in at 2.9 pounds and they caused these mounts to sag when wall mounted. If I would have been ceiling mounting them it may have supported the weight, but since I needed to wall mount my speakers I returned them. They just didn't...

According to the manufacturer's site these are supposed to hold speakers up to 8 pounds. I have the Energy Take Classic speakers that weigh in at 2.9 pounds and they caused these mounts to sag when wall mounted. If I would have been ceiling mounting them it may have supported the weight, but since I needed to wall mount my speakers I returned them. They just didn't meet my needs. I ended up getting the Philips 5-piece Speaker brackets (PN: SQB1131/17) locally and although I had to go to the hardware store for screws, they hold my speakers really well.

I used these with an Onkyo HT6100 HTIB system, and everything worked out fine. I was a little worried at first because the mounts are plastic, but they were plenty strong enough to handle the Onkyo speakers which are about 12 inches tall. Good mounts at a good price!

Good price, service and very fast shipping. Not really happy with this product cause it states that it can handle up to 8 lbs and in reality, it can't. I have 7 lb speakers that have stressed them to the point of almost failure (when mounting on the wall). After changing the mounting position from the side wall to the ceiling they are handling it much better. These mounts are only good for small speakers (like Bose) when wall mounting. If you are going to use them for heavy (capacity maxed) speakers, you should hang them from the ceiling.

I bought it to support my Boston Acoustics MCS100 system. My speakers weigh in at 2.5lbs, the speaker mounts held up, though not sure how much more over 2.5lbs they can handle, again for my needs the are more than adequate. Very versatile in mounting options, but to be honest the keyhole mount did not work out very well for the MCS100 surround speakers, but there was screwhole that was used to mount the footpeg of the speaker, more than did the trick, it may just be the keyhole design on my speaker. Other than that, I highly recommend these mounts.

These mounts are very versatile and seem to come with a WIDE variety of mounting hardware that make them extremely universal. I am using them with the Onkyo S5200 7.1 system and they hold the satellite speakers fairly well. I would say those satellites are between 3 and 5 pounds. The mounts are easy to install and again come with a lot of screws, nuts, bolts, anchors etc. which is good for this type of project. The ONLY thing i can say is i wish they were a LITTLE more sturdy, as there seems to be a slight bit of sag with the weight of the speakers, but overall these are great.

I mounted my Energy Take 5 Classic Home Theater Speakers to the walls with these mounts, and they look great. Plenty of mounting options are available with these mounts, and I did not have any trouble getting them to work with my speakers. Because of the all the options, they provide you with many more screws than you need, but I did not have any problems sorting them out and finding the specific ones I needed for the job.

The 5 pack of these ceiling/wall speaker mounts is a great deal compared to all of the other similar items I looked at. The construction is good, they are made of hard, high-tension plastic. You can adjust the swivel tension at the joints by removing the cover plates. All cover plates hide the mounting hardware and stay on without need for any additional hardware. It would have received 5 stars EXCEPT I feel that the mounting hardware (anchors, screws, etc) was incomplete as it covered only two options: 1) mount to stud through drywall or 2) mount to brick. What happened to mounting to drywall without stud? The packaging even says that the limit on supporting poundage is based on drywall-only support limits! This was my situation for a few of the mounts so I needed to go to the store to buy the correct drywall anchors. This was cheap at $5, but inconvenient. Don't use the brick anchors for drywall, they won't hold because they have no ridges. I would buy this again, or check out *W*a*l*m*a*r*t* for the similar *P*a*n*a*s*o*n*i*c* mounts at half the price. These can be found in-store, so no shipping costs!

There are 3 methods to connect the Sanus speaker mounts to the speakers.
Single Threaded is simple. When speakers have available treads built into them and all is need to to slip the screw threw the Satellite Speaker Adapter
Mounting to the Wall/Speaker Plates (10 in total included, 5 for fasten to the wall, 5 to attach to the speakers to the back of the speaker) is a duel threaded system with the screws 2"-2 7/8" apart. If treads are in those limits then your lucky, but if not, the instruction states to "Pre-drill pilot holes with a 1/8" bit" and right under that, warning you in bold letters that Sanus isn't responsible for damages to the speaker.
The Keyhole is most common feature in most speakers. This is where this product looses point. The instructions illustrates to place a spacer into the screw, then place it through the Satellite Speaker Adapter. Thread Keyhole nut onto the screw with the teeth (the teeth add grip) facing towards the Satellite Speaker Adapter. Insert the nut into the keyhole of the speaker. At this point I find its impossible the insert the nut into the keyhole due to the short allowed length. In the Satellite Speaker Adapter, half way through, the hole goes from .41" to the diameter small enough to allow .32" head to go through. The screw they proved for this has the head diameter of .325", a very very small margin of .005" is what keep the screw from sliding completely though allowing enough space for me to slide the keyhole nut into the keyhole of the speaker. Maybe I'm just .005 unlucky and wonder if its just me.
Well all is not lost, the Keyhole setup is possible with the items included, just not the why explained in the instructions. Place Keyhole nut into Satellite Speaker Adapter, teeth facing to the bottom. Insert screw threads to the Keyhole nut while still inside the Satellite Speaker Adapter. At this point with plenty of space of screw thread left from the head of the screw the the unit. Insert the head of the screw to the keyhole of the speaker, pull the Satellite Speaker Adapter enough for the teeth of the nut to get grip, then twist to tighten.
Once you got the Satellite Speaker Adapter or Wall/Speaker Plate firmly attached to the speaker, the rest is the fun part with power tools. Plenty of screws are included to drill to Wood and Plywood. Once you got the wall plates fasten, its then just adjust the joints to the peferred angle and tighten with the Allen Key that is to provided.

These mounts are great but they come with so many extra parts because they are universal that it took a while to figure out which piece went to my actual speakers. I would say it took a good 1.5-2 hours to install.
