My old speakers had a screw hole in the back, and the speaker stands had a L-shaped bracket on top of the stand, with a hole in the vertical part of the bracket that the screw went through. What I did for my Onkyo keyhole-only speakers was put a bolt through that hole, and attach it with one nut in front of the bracket and one behind it, then I hung the speaker on the head of the bolt.

I took a look at the back and here is my observation:There are at least two ways to mount the speaker from the back without anything holding the weight at the bottom. One way is a single thread (either M5 or M6) located at the back center. I think this is most secure way. The second way are two mounting holes (pear-shaped) on the back sides located 3 inches away from the centerline. I hope this is helpful.

I tried to search for pictures of the speakers trying to see how they look from behind but i couldnt find any. If you want you can send me a picture of your speakers from the back and I'll compare them to the mounts/brackets and see if they will work. My email is fredward321@gmail.com

The speaker stand comes with a couple different sets of mounting hardware. My speakers have brass threads on the back, and they have an L adapter that allows you to mount your speakers. Alternatively if you had the threads on the bottom, they have hardware for that included as well. They have a couple of different sized screws for mounting too. However I cannot guarantee that they'll work with your speakers, but they include a lot of adapters, hardware, and mounting plates so that these stands are universal. You should not have a problem. Another thing, don't use these stands with super heavy speakers, get the model above these they are only $10 more. The speaker stand comes with a couple different sets of mounting hardware.

Did not have to. My speakers had key hole mounting and there was a screw provided that worked well to mount speakers.

Yes they do. Thats exactly what i own. The way i was able to get these to work this way though was with a bolt fron sanus speaker stands that is able to fit into the keyhole. Otherwise these brackets do not come with any hardware that would make it possible to use these right out of the box. I hope this helps.

No it doesn't come with any mounting brackets or stands. I ordered brackets but returned them and instead just put a drywall anchor and screw into each corner of my room, then used the mounting slot on the rear of each speaker to mount the speakers to the screw heads. The mounting slot has a larger circular opening that is big enough for a medium sized screw head that then tapers down along a channel. The speaker will snug up tightly against the wall if you slide the speaker along the channel in the speaker from the screw head opening after running the screw almost all the way into the wall.

Been a long time now, I don't recall getting mounting brackets, but if that's the case, then you wouldn't have to remove the speakers to mount. The ore drill holes are likely threaded for the mounting bracket acres to be done externally.

Any suggestions for using the stands for the back (surround) speakers. The mounting setup is for the front speakers only. I'm thinking heavy duty velcro.

Hi there, I bought the same brackets. As u noticed they will not work. I'm not sure what brackets will. How ever I did modify them by cutting out 4 pieces of wood each 4 1/2"x 4 1/2" about 1/2" thick. I drilled 2 holes in them to line up w/ the key holes on the back of the speakers. Inserted bolts w/ a head on them that would fit in the key hole. Then put stop nuts on the threads and the speakers hang great from them. I spray painted the wood brackets flat black. They look great! U would never know I had mcgyvered them. The system is awesome! U'll love it. Other then the same problem ur face'n right now. I faced it too, but an easy fix. Hope this helped, have a good one. Hi there, I bought the same brackets. As u noticed they will not work. I'm not sure what brackets will.

I did not mount my my speakers. There was an existing ledge. You will probably have to drill some small holes and put some screws in them. The big bass speaker is to heavy to mount.

These speaker mounts use the universal screw size not a keyhole. Keyholes are for flush mounting your speaker to the wall which is what I had setup prior to buying these mounts.If you ONLY have keyhole mounting for your speakers then these may not be for you. If you have the universal mount screw hole then this product is for you. You can always use double sided glue tape depending on the weight of your satellite speaker as well.

Normally, all you do with the tall speaker stand bases is run the wires through them up to the speakers, and mount the speakers on top. I see no reason you couldn't mount the speakers somewhere else, but you still have to run the wires to them and you have to mount them somehow. I think there are holes on the speakers that can be used to with mounting screws.

Do you plan on attaching the speakers to the videosecu mounts with screws? Or, attaching using the wall/nail mount generally found on pictures, speakers, etc. Either way, the videosecu mounts should do the trick. Keep in mind that some speaker boxes are plastic rather than wood. Keep this in mind when attaching with screws. Attaching the wall mount to the wall is relatively simple. A stud finder and some reasonable planning for speaker placement, and your set!

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.

I'm going to give these a shot: http://www.amazon.com/Deluxe-Universal-Speaker-Brackets-Ceilings/dp/B001QN5686/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_bThey say keyholes, so these mounts should work fine. They fit the weight of the speakers as well. I'm thinking we are all going to be surprised at the size of these speakers.

The keyhole on my speaks was not in the back of the speaker cabinet itself, it was a small metal keyhole screwed to the back of the speaker cabinet. In order to get the hardware forthe speaker mount in under the metal, I had to use a needlenose plier or screwdriver to pry it out a bit.
