Peerless Mount

[ASM]

I've been looking at possible alternative mounts for the 170's and came across some from Peerless.

Does anyone have any experience with these?

Did you try them?

[ASM]

Nope, didn't try them. Went with these instead:

How do you like them? Are those $50 each or $50 for a pair?

I'm looking at the VMP SP010 mount which is less than $30 for a pair.

[ASM]

That's $50 for a pair. I'm very happy with them. I ended up picking these because I needed to support greater than 20lbs and they look pretty nice.

I have a pair of Monitor Audio GR!0's on them which are about 11" deep and there is atleast 3" behind the speaker.

So you chose the Monitor Audio's over the 170s?

[curtis]

If he got the MA GR10's.....they retailed for $1495/pr!

[ASM]

As pointed out above, the GR10's are a completely different budget level, however you can find them on closeout now for less that $1000 since the new GS line is shipping and I've seen them go for as low as $600 on ebay. I got a great deal I just couldn't pass up. Unfortunately, that means no 170's for me. Well, not until I convince the wife we need speakers in the dining room.

ASM:

Can that mount clamp the speaker from the sides instead of the normal, front/back? Clamping the speaker from the sides would make the speaker front 90 degrees to the wall which is what I need in order for them to make them face my listening position.

[ASM]

No, it will not clamp on the sides. If that's what you are looking for then go with the B-Tech BT77. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-EnScC16...830&I=121BT77B
