Due to photo posting issues here, I posted this thread on AVS forum:

======================
I got tired of having very obtrusive CBM-170 as surrounds in my family room, so I picked up a pair of HTM-200. I wanted to flush mount the speakers to the wall, but I didn't want to screw the recommended mounts into the cabinets, as discussed in this post:

So I decided to try using the cabinet's insert screws.
I found an ook security hanger

and tried to find a flat top screw that would fit into the cabinet insert, and work with the hanger. But all such screws had heads that were way too big.
Same with trying to use a keyhole hanger

So I decided to use some picture hanging wire and mount them upside down. Attached is a photo of the parts I bought, I think I spent about $12. (sorry the photo is so small, this site has a very small allowable photo size)
The 50 lb. picture wire is total overkill, but I figured if even 3/4 of the strands break, I'll still have plenty to hold the 10 lb. speaker.
The 30 lb. picture hangers were also overkill, but they were the only "tremor" hangers that had a security feature that would prevent the wire from falling out of the hook from either earthquakes or my two small children. They have 20-lb hangers, just not at my store.

The flat washers were used only to prevent the wire from digging into the back of the cabinet. I'm not sure why I wanted to protect the cabinets so bad, but just wanted to preserve them.
The felt pads were to isolate the speaker from the wall, but as you will see, I found something better and didn't even need these.
