So I really want to wall mount my 170s, right now they are on stands, the SP-30 ones sold here actually. But they look a little out of place in my room and the speakers are two close together and I would like to get more separation and that would come with wall mounting them. This is for my two fronts for right now BTW. But i really cannot bit the near $100 cost of the Omni Mounts sold here so I was browsing my favorite site Monoprice and found a set that looks like it should work for $10 a pair...

Says they hold 33 Lbs, made out of metal ect. as they also have even cheaper ones but those are plastic and only rated to hold 10 Lbs max and the 170s are 15 so that is pushing them well over the limit. But these $10 ones look find to me, I am just not sure if the spacing of the screws on the back that it will mount to is a standard length apart, kind of like if it is vesa 75 x 75 or 100 x 100mm. Anyway please let me know if you think these would work fine, Oh at this price I also don't mind trimming them a little or drilling extra holes if I have to in order for them to line up correctly on the back of the speaker.
