The package claims to support up to 30lbs. of weight, but that is not the case. I am using two of these on my wall for speakers which are Cambridge Soundworks Ensemble II satellites. Each speaker can't be more than 10lbs. or so, however after only a few weeks these speaker mounts are now sagging a good 1-2" downwards. These mounts have three seperate rotating joints and they are held in place by set screws which, at the time, didn't seem all that sturdy when I was installing them. I guess they really aren't! Especially when I'm reading other users with even lighter speakers are seeing a sag as well. AVOID!

Was not that hard to do. This is my first time installing speakers on the walls so it took me a few hours to get 4 up but i had a free saturday afternoon. The speakers im using are Onkyo HT-S3200 5.1-Channel Home Entertainment Receiver/Speaker Package

These are great speaker mounts with pretty much universal speaker attachment hardware. They are a little smaller than the pictures led me to believe, but they are plenty big for my speakers. My only complaint is that it is very easy to over tighten the allen screws and distort the shape of the screw hole (metal threads in the female part would be awesome). However, I can't see that it caused a problem on the 2 or 3 holes I did it to. Also, it would be nice if the elbow could make a 90-degree angle, but that's no big deal for me either.

I really liked the flexiblity of these mounts. Many different mounting options for both ceiling or wall applications. Also the different types of speaker mounting options is impressive.

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!
