VideoSecu One Pair of Side Clamping Bookshelf Speaker Mounting Bracket with Swivel and Tilt for Large Surrounding Sound Speakers MS56B 3LH

In my ideal setup I would not be mounting speakers (or use bookshelf speakers for that matter), but due to the limited space I recently moved into, mounting was the only solution. I've been looking at mounts for a while and narrowed my selection down to the particular offerings from Pinpoint and Rocelco. I almost pulled the trigger on one of those mounts until I stumbled upon these, which seems to be a new item since it never came up in search results before. I ultimately bought these because of the price and that they look identical to the ones from the previous mentioned brands. When I opened the box I immediately noticed the excellent quality of these mounts. Now the speakers I'm using weigh 20 pounds each and I absolutely did not want to drill and put screws into them and was afraid the foam pads wouldn't cut it. The only feasible solution was to use something called Blu-Tack Reusable Adhesive. I've used this stuff before when I had my speakers mounted on stands and it works real well, so well that it took a good amount to effort to separate the speakers from the stands.After finding the studs in the wall and screwing the mounts in (they come with a plastic cover to hide the scews), I tugged on it with a good amount of force; they're not going anywhere. Next was to mount the speakers. I put blu tack on the sides and the surface the of mounting plates and placed the speakers on top; tightened the clamping screws and adjusted the position of the speakers. My speakers are 12" deep and there's enough clearance for them to pivot 180 degrees. These mounts aren't designed to tilt much, the photo I posted shows the speaker in it's max tilt position. I've only had the speakers mounted for a day, not enough to determine stability which only time will tell. So far I can say I'm pretty content with the way are and will keep a close eye on them; I am after all taking a risk with some expensive speakers. If you can, secure your speakers with screws, unfortunately it's not something I want to do on something with such a nice finish. Besides that, this is an excellent purchase with tremendous amount of value and installation was simple and straight forward.UPDATE 02/14/2013: So it's been nearly 3 months since I mounted them and they're holding strong. My speakers have not creeped forward or moved at all for that matter. I have complete confidence in these mounts and still think they are the best for the price.UPDATE 11/17/2013: It's been a year now and the mounts are still in the same place. Speakers haven't moved a millimeter. Truly an excellent purchase.UPDATE 03/24/2016: Two years ago I moved the speakers into an office setting. Overall they've been mounted on the stands for about 3-1/2 years and have never given me any doubts about its ability to do its job.

Great product, does what it is meant to.For a real review: You drill a hole into a stud and drill the supplied (comes with a concrete set as well, but I can't say much about this method) screws into the wall with the plate. This part was the real pain. You have to be able to get the screws in pretty far for the plastic decorative plate to sit against the wall. My drill is sub par so with several tries and attempts with manual screwing I managed to get most of the screws in far enough. This took about 2 hours having to recharge my drill and screw by hand, resting between some to heal my hand.After that it is fast to set up. Most of the other parts are metal, and put together already. Place the plastic front hinge onto open metal bars (it is open so this plastic just hides the screw inside) and the coned shape allows you to tilt up or down. The set comes with some plastic sponge like holders with one side sticky to place onto the metal sides and bottom to put you speaker on so the metal doesn't scratch it. You take the plastic tack sides off of the bottom sides to expose 2 screws that you loosen to increase the size width to fit your speaker than screw them back to keep it held tightly and place the tacks back and it's done.There are holes and an add on to buy a string like item to hold the speakers in case you feel it is needed but if you screw just hard enough, it should be fine. I would guess this is if you place it outside, water and wind trying to kick your speakers off, or if using heavier than allotted speakers. I would say though that inside the house, this should hold greater weight speakers than the 35#, at decent levels. I don't play my 25# speakers at uncontrolled vibration levels so..For wire management, I am unsure of how this is done, if anyone knows please comment, would be appreciated.The tilt is decent enough that I placed the speakers above my tv and was able to aim them to ear level easily, just above 6 feet high from the ground. They swivel 360 degrees if you loosen the main screw, which also controls the tilt. Can screw tightly to keep it in place as well.
