I got my Ascends!

[Eddie Horton]

Glad to hear that you like them!!! Mine should arrive on Monday, and reading reviews like this make my day. Enjoy!

rock on!

the 170s are stellar. they stand right up there with the big boys. kinda like mario jumping on bowser's head. ah, flashbacks of NES.

Since upgrading my 170s to 340s for fronts, I want to put the 170s as my surrounds. Problem is, I need something to mount these things to the walls (drywall on studs). Anyone know of brackets that would support these?

DIY speaker cable (that's better than anyhing I can purchase elsewhere)

Omnimounts should work.

Curtis....will the omnimounts hold 20 lbs worth of speakers with just anchor bolts used on straight drywall?

I know others have done it.

Maybe check the Omnimount site.

Omnimount 20.0's will work fine. They hold up to 20 pounds. If you need extra support on your drywall, put a board between the mount and the drywall, screws in the corners of the boards and mount the omnimount in the middle of the board. It should spread the weight out enough to hold the speaker with no problem... at least this was my experience.

Screwing into a stud is not an option?

[curtis]

A stud would be great, but it is not always in the best position for the speaker.
