Is the 8" to the outer rim? I need to mount these speakers to suspended ceiling tiles in an office. Will the weight be a problem?

I think the 8" is the outer rim of the speaker itself. I have mine mounted in the drywall ceiling, and the outer/exterior rim is closer to 9" overall. As for suspended ceiling tiles, I can't imagine the weight being an issue if the metal frame/grids are securely mounted. Without digging up the specs again, the magnet on the back of the speaker has a bit of weight to it, but I think you'll be fine.

I wouldn't recommend attaching that much weight to the drywall. I'm using some small JBL's, and made sure they were anchored into the studs.

I mounted mine between the rafters hanging from a 2x4. Mine is 12inches. I believe with some bracket modifications because of the gear on top and the way the rails are mounted that 8inches could be possible.

They seem quite sturdy. I would guess my speakers are 25 lbs and are very stable.

I don't know. Mine are 8" and they are all set up and tight. Sorry but I don't want to mess with them to find out. Good luck finding out. I love the brackets in my application. The speakers are 14.5 high and 10.5" deep and they work fine.

I wouldn't go bigger than 8" studio monitors with these stands. They are pretty heavy duty but they might tip over with anything larger than that.

I don't think these are the best choice for speakers of that weight and certainly the height. Any mount that has tilt capabilities controlled by friction (screws etc.) would be a poor candidate for speakers that are as tall as yours if tilt is exploited. (A fair amount of stress would be put on the bottom part of the speaker, front of the speaker and certainly the mount.)

The speakers I'm using weigh 8 lbs each and the stand holds them fine--I'd say 12-15 lbs would be the max. Just be sure that 1)the speaker isn't any wider that 7-1/2" and 2)you don't have any cats/pets/children that could run into them because even though these are quite heavy and sturdy a 10 lb + speaker would make them a little top heavy. Hope this helps you out.

Here's my response: Absolutely, these can handle the weight of the speakers. The DefTech Studio Monitor 450's are supposed to be 8.4' wide, and these side plates claim to spread to 11", so they should be fine for the size and the weight. However, your speakers have that 10" radiator on the side, and there is a possibility that the edge of the side plates that come up around the speaker's sides might interfere with those. That's the only problem I can forsee. I would recommend buying these and trying them out.

Cam, I don't know the measurement, but I use mine with my big Behringer speakers. They are easy to mount and I have not noticed excessive "wobble".

It depends on the height that you want to put your speakers. I have the Klipsch RB-41's(6LBS each) on my stands and currently using only one inch of the extension pole. Instead of the keyhole mount I used the included large flat mounting plate. They are stable at this height. I tried the keyhole mount and found that the stands were not as stable as the flat plate mount. Your speakers are slightly heavier and of a different configuration than mine. If you are not going to go beyond extending the stands to say 28 inches or so you may be safe. Bottom line with these stands is that the higher you go the less stable they become.

base that mounts to wall is 8"- it projects 6 1/2" from the wall and the mount is adjustable. My speakers also have a bevel on all 4 corners (M-Audio) the grab area is 1" high

I use them with Peavey SP5G's and they are rock solid. My speakers are listed at 72 pounds. They are attached to garage walls studs with lag bolts

I'm not totally sure, but I honestly doubt it. I hung a set of Boston Acoustic CR6 monitor speakers on them that I doubt are 20, and I'm waiting to see if they will be on the floor some morning. I used 4 75lb rated twist-in wall anchors on the base plate into drywall but feel nervous. The total assembly sits out about 6" from the wall and feels really "boingy" to me. I have them tilted down 5 - 10 degrees. So far they have been fine for a week, and they are up high enough so hopefully no one will mess with them. I worry that any sudden change like someone pushing up and then just releasing might have them come down. Mounted to wood or masonry they should be just fine, other than the round extension from the base plate could be a little more sturdy. I also did one receive one box of two in my shipment, but that's all I needed.

I have my speakers very snugly attached screwing them directly into the female threads on my speakers (thus, I am not using the keyhole approach with this set). My speakers weigh about 2 pounds each. I am not sure I would want any heavier of a speaker with these.

They seem sturdy enough to me. Probably matters more what you're mounting them on. Those are heavy 9 footers!

I don't know what your dementions are but our speakers were a pretty good size and not extactly light in weight. We have had them mounted on the wall (make sure its secure and not just in sheetrock) use special anchors or a stud for at least 2 years or more with no problems.
