Vantage Point BSM-B Bookshelf Series Speaker Mounts - Black, 12 x 9.5 x 3.8 inches

I love these mounts! The footprint is very compact and they come with the hardware for just about any type of speaker mounting installation. ^They are very sturdy.I bought a set of 4" Infinity bookshelf speakers that I wanted to mount on the walls of my entertainment room for the surround sound system (one in each corner near the ceiling). Along with them, I bought the only set of wall mounts available at the electronics store at the same time (and any other local store for that matter). It was a set of SIIG mounts made of some type of polymer, rated for up to 8 pounds (my speakers may be close to that - maybe 5 lbs but no way do they weigh more than 8 lbs). They have a little shaft that secure with an allen bolt. Well for one, those plastic mounts couldn't hold the speakers at the angle I wanted - they would slowly flop down. When I tried to tighten them some more, one stripped. This left me with a morbid image of one of those little shafts sliding off the bolt and having the speakers come crashing down on my wife or one of my daughter's head some day. I just couldn't live with that.Then after looking at dozens of different brands, I found these mounts. They are metal mounts, easy to install and very solid. They hold the speakers at about a 45 degree angle very well - the angle does not change even when applying a little force after tightening them. Aside from actually being able to serve their purpose, they have given me peace of mind, as I don't see these coming apart like their plastic counterparts. They are worth every penny.

I hung some bookshelf speakers on the wall with these mounts. They're 40lbs. each!... Yeah, these guys are with the "not messing around crew."

I have purchased two sets of these speakes mounts. The first set was back in Nov '09 and the second set was just this past week in Feb '11 for another set of set speakers that will be mounted shortly. Both sets of mounts will hold four idential speakers: Sony SS-U3030 bookshelf units from the 90's. These speakers weigh about 10 pounds each which is well within the weight spec of these mounts. With proper tightening of the swivel bolts, the older mounts have not sagged one tiny bit. One of my speakers is mounted over a doorway and there is very little clearance between the bottom of the speaker and the top of the door. The clearance is about 3/4" so it is easy to see any sag. If it sags then the door hits the speaker.The mounts are made of heavy metal and thick strong allen head bolts hold the swivel adjustments steady. If you don't like the orientatin of the bolts you can flip the mount around, take it apart, and mirror it any way you want. I needed to do this so the bolt heads are accessible from the bottom and away from the corner of the wall. This flexibility is very welcome.You will receive some extra mounting brackets to facilitate other speaker mounting orientations and methods. Also included are way too many extra bolts which is nice. The only bolts they did not include were toggle bolts. I used toggle bolts to attach the mounts to my sheet rock walls.I do not jnow how well these mounts can hold a 25 pound speaker but I imagine it will do the job just fine. Simply tighten the bolts and you should be fine.These brackets are great and I even came back to the same make/model when I needed more. Still, I can only give them four stars. Why? First, I wish they had given 3" toggle bolts. Second, the speakers will be around 3.5" away from the wall. If you have big bulky hands then getting access to the bolts with an allen wrench may be cumbersome.As with any hardware project, be patient, mock it up first, and have fun!

Easy to install on a variety of speakers. Good clamping power. My NHT Classic 3 speakers were mounted on a angled ceiling for surround and rear channel speakers and mounted at angles which put a constant strain on the mount. For heavy speakers like these is is important to firmly attach the mount to the wall or ceiling using the heavy screw (supplied) into a stud or equivalent or you risk having the whole assembly crash to the ground. My wimpy mounts from the local electronics store rated at 10 pounds were simply totally insufficient. There is an installation sheet which can be found on line with some difficulty and Goggling which will provide measurements and allow the installer to determine suitability for the particular application.Lastly, these look good and could probably hold up to 2 times as much as the rated weight for applications on a wall where the speakers are pretty much horizontal.

These are the 5th or 6th pair of speaker mounts I've purchased and these definitely had some of the most diverse bracket mounting options I've ever seen. Unfortunately, they aren't the easiest I've ever worked with and fit/finish is by far and away the worst I've ever seen in any speaker mount; actually, some of the worst I've seen regardless of product type. Also, the speakers I was mounting were 14 lbs a piece and seemed right at the limit of what these mounts could handle. You'd have to pay me money to try these with a 20 lb speaker, much less the 25 lbs they're rated for. One of the brackets required 20 min of sanding to allow it to smoothly connect together. Lots of elbow grease required but I got it to work. The other appears to be stripped out on the inside, and doesn't allow any tightening in the up-down direction. Definitely could be an isolated case but the items I received are absolute junk. Not worth $10, much less darn near $50. Unfortunately, I got a bit delayed on setting up my theater room and didn't get around to mounting the speakers until I was past Amazon's return window; otherwise these would have been returned without second thought.
