Anyone have ideas on alternatives for the 340C now that we can't get the BT521?

This might work for you.

I have ordered it, but will not be able to mount it for a month or so(until I get my Plasma).

Why did you choose the double arm instead of the single arm (http://store.videomountstore.com/vmpsiarmtewa.html)?

Also, will the 340c block the mount so it will be 'invisible'?

The benefit of the BT521 is that it makes the speaker look like it's 'floating'.

I chose the double arm because I wanted the ability to adjust the distance from the wall. It might give the appearance of the speaker floating, because it can be tilted upto 15 degrees. But unless I mount it, I won't be able to know it for sure.

I ordered the Magnavox M64002. I'll try it with my Athena AS-C1 first and then the 340C SE when it gets here.

What is the latest and greated that people are using for the 340c SE these days? This thread hasn't seen any action in a month.

If you have any photos of the final install, please post them. I took delivery of a Samsung 50" 5088w over the weekend and can't wait to get my 340 off the floor and in its final resting place.

Did you know that (2)Omnimount 20 wall mounts can be used to mount a CMT-340SE center channel? By utilizing the insert screw on the back baffle for one mount in conjunction with directly screwing the other mount into the back baffle, you can mount the speaker much closer to the wall than with a TV shelf. This solution runs $78 plus $8 shipping from Ascend.

With a hat tip to Grayson, I'm collating a summary that I can continuously edit of some options for mounting a CMT-340SE center channel that are available on the market:
