I don't use them but I found these.
i went with these after reviews they can hold at least 15lbs comfortably.

I used these to mount them horizontally and they work and look excellent https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have used these and they work great: http://www.cotytech.com/content-prod...r_sp_os02.htmlQuote:

I am going to buy two pair of HTM-200 SE very shortly and also trying to understand mounting options. One pair will be in the kitchen at eye level, one pair will be in the livingroom on side walls just slightly behind the couch with the top about 7 ft high. I am thinking that:
- these two locations are the ideal ones
- flush mounting, or nearly so with slight downward angle, would be ideal for sound
- the easiest way I've seen is upside down with picture hanging kits, like this very well-done instruction: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/89-spe...9018?_k=cjktpo
Am I right on all three counts? Any tips? The only thing I'm thinking I'll need to be careful on, is popping the speaker wire through the wall at just the right point to get into the back of the speaker without impacting its ability to rest flush.
Thanks.

I'm going to be mounting HTM-200 SE on my walls, trying to stay basically flush, within the next few weeks. Then maybe I'll post pix of my system!
I think my above post about it didn't get noticed maybe... The mounting method I linked looks pretty good to me; bottom line question is, is there any reason not to put these upside down?
Thanks!
Tai
I hung HTM-200s the same way and it worked fine. Since I was in an apartment I left my speaker wire on the outside of the wall, covered it with masking tape and painted it the color of the wall. Looked good to me!Quote:

Horizontally it wasn't a problem with these mounts. It took me some time to find them but I researched this mount and the bracket provided is slotted the right size so it was a good fit for the two inserts. I was concerned since the inserts are offset that it wouldn't be balanced weight wise and could sag but the mount is strong enough. I also mounted mine into a beam for extra security during heavy bass scenes. I used them with the ascend inserts and provided screws. I was also able to tilt and swivel them exactly the same, locking the hex screws securely once I got the right placement. They haven't moved at all since installation. They mirror each other with the tweeter on the bottom just like I wanted and it worked beautifully without customizing anything.Quote:

Hi , I know this is an old thread. However, can you please post a picture of the back of your speaker along with the mount.That will help in knowing how exactly you used those brackets.Quote:
