Good on-wall surrounds
580143
I purchased two Mythos Gem XLs as the surrounds for a speaker setup that has 3 Mythos Tens as front left/right/center and a SuperCube I for subwoofer.  You can read my review of the Mythos Tens for a full account of the system.
Voice-match to the main speakers is very good.  Incuded mounting bracket is simple and secure (keyhole slot on bracket into which a machine screw on the speaker fits) but does not pivot in any way.
The sepcs on frequency response given by the manufacturer are misleading.  There is no usable bass below about 80 Hz at the lowest, the frequency at which I crossover to the sub.  If I were using these as main speakers, I might crossover even higher.
Would be a 5-star review if not for price, which I found a bit steep (but paid anyway).

Great alternative in my environment.  I have Definitive Tech column speakers for the mains and subs, but wanted something good for the ceiling to keep from having to run wires in the floor of our den.  These do the job well. They were straightforward to install, and sound good.  Using with Onkyo TX-NR838 receiver.

I ordered two of these just to see since they are the same cutout dimension as KEF's ceiling speakers which I was originally going to get.  I listened to the KEF's at a distributor and planned on getting the Q-series up front (bookshelves and center- not in-wall) and the KEF Q-series ceilings for side and rear surround duty in a 7.1 system, though $250-$300 per ceiling speaker just seemed high so I started looking around (Amazon, monoprice). I tried 2 of these out and am very pleased with the result. I had looked for Micca's reference series, but couldn't find them.

I think the best thing about this little guy is the silk dome tweeter. It has a nice crispness to it after running my receiver's (Pioneer's 1120-K) room EQ program. The program did not greatly bump up or down the levels in the EQ band. They are clear and the installation was very easy (banana clips a plus). The mid-bass seems neutral too but really it is up to the sound mixer to fill these with sound. It seems just right and does the job for 1/10th the price as the more expensive models. I can't do a real comparison to other more expensive speakers but they seem very comparable.

A pink noise test seemed pretty uniform and comparable to the Andrew Jones BS22's bookshelves and center I have as it went around the room. These might be a real good match together for a budget system.  I do have these in backerboxes mind you that I installed prior to drywall and are sealed and stuffed with batting.

There is not too much info coming from the surrounds channels normally but they can get loud enough in movies well (Saving Private Ryan, Gravity (amazing surround effects). It adds great ambiance to movies. You can aim the tweeter a little bit, but I couldn't really tell too much difference when pointed down or at the main listening position. I have a pretty reflective great room and 9 foot ceilings. Don't rely on these for bass, that is what a subwoofer is for. Ceilings have their inherent limitations, but I think they did just fine for my tastes that I ordered 2 more for those back surrounds. They are keepers

I was looking for a quality in-wall speaker with a good price, these fit the bill! We now have a cleaner look in our family room without compromising the sound. Room size: 19' x 16' x 10' tall ceilings. My set-up: Polk Audio: 2 Front Surrounds 265RT, 1 Center Channel 255C-RT, 2 Rear Surrounds 65RT, BIC America F12 Subwoofer. Onkyo TX-NR636. We listen to music & watch movies, both are great!

Beautiful.  Look great on the shelf with the other components.  HOWEVER, overall sound reproduction is good but is NOT extraordinary.  The 6-inch built-in speakers in my 20-year old, all-in-one Panasonic disk/tape/receiver are richer all around at both ends of the frequency range including mid-range.  These are decent, not remarkable.

I use this speaker as a ceiling mounted front center speaker in a 5.1 surround system just in front of 120 inch screen.  It is more than adequate with good sound and good coverage. It was extremely easy to install.

Sturdy, matched my speaker color, easy to use and install.
I would recommend these for anyone who wants to solidly mount these to a wall or ceiling.

Very good little speakers for the price. My only complaint is they don't have a hole in the back to hang them on the wall over my desk. But I can live with that.

My house is a new construction home and the builder pre-wired the living room for surround sound.  As a result where all the speaker wire was ran, there were these blank wall plates to hide them.  I knew when I ordered these that they would be smaller than the wall plates because my dad has the exact same setup at his house.

So I did what he did, which was to mount the brackets directly to the wall plate. He did these a while back so he didn't remember the details, so what I did to compensate was I went and bought flat head machine screws with nuts. I believe 10-32 screws like the ones found here:

<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/10-32x3-4-Flat-Head-Screws-with-Nuts/dp/B00CX298HY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">#10-32x3/4" Flat Head Screws with Nuts</a>

I then removed the wall plates, used the included template and a sharpie to mark the drill holes, and drilled what I believe was a 7/32" hole in the marked spots. I screwed down the brackets with the nut on the inside to hold it in place and screwed the wall plates back to their housing (which was very sturdy).  Afterwards I attached the speaker and then connected to the system using a surround sound distribution wall plate found here:

<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Monoprice-2-Gang-5-1-Surround-Sound-Distribution-Wall-Plate/dp/B0087G5C8Y/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Monoprice 2-Gang 5.1 Surround Sound Distribution Wall Plate</a>

End result came out great, the mounting is surprisingly sturdy and the product did its job perfectly!

You will find that these are decent brackets and for the price they get the job done.

The part that mounts to the wall has four screw holes. I only used two of them to mount my 3 lb. energy take 5 classics and they are holding up nicely. I did use aftermarket anchors that are rated for more than the plastic ones that come these mounts.

I'd have no problem hanging speakers weighing much more. They could keep a much larger speaker from falling, but I'd say at 15 pounds the ball joint may fail to hold the speakers in a desired position.

There is plenty of hardware included for a variety of mounting options. I wanted to use the keyhole mount only to find that the screw heads were too large for my speakers. I opted to tweak the mounting method using the included hardware instead of taking a trip to the hardware store. These method wasn't in the instructions, but worked well.

The instruction sheet wasn't helpful.

I will say that due to the ball joint protruding from the the wall side of the bracket made it a little difficult to mount, but I was able to mount them without much of a problem.

They seem durable. Impact grade plastic.

They didn't adjust as much as I had hoped. I got about 30 degrees vertically and 100 degrees horizontally. My speakers are 7" tall and 4" wide hung vertically, so you may have different results depending on speaker size and orientation.

The part of the bracket that attaches to the speaker is probably larger than it needs to be for a small satellite application such as mine. They work well, but I wish there was a smaller mounting option for the speaker side of the bracket.

They work, are fairly versatile and are inexpensive. If that is what you are looking for these fit the bill.

Good sound, easy to install, looks good in the wall(s).  Haven't painted them, yet, but expect to soon.  Very wide and only just barely fits between studs on 16" centers.

These compact stands are ideal for mounting Bose speakers.  They are sleek, and conceal the wires to the speakers very effectively.  Much better than mounting the speakers on the wall, and much more effective in broadcasting the Bose signature surround sound.

Really good set of wall mounts. They are modular and allow lots of positioning options. The only issue was that I didn't get any anchors for my concrete walls, so I had to go get some at the hardware store. Aside from that, they are holding up my Energy Classic 5.1 speakers perfectly.

I purchased 16 of these for my studio/mancave. They are basic flat black and all metal. The hangers themselves are sturdy, The protective foam on the hooks is good stuff too. But be mindful that the performance strength of these will be limited to how well you mount them to the wall. The included screws went to my "random screw bucket" and I went to the hardware store for better stuff. A minor inconvenience for an otherwise fine product. Make sure you mount over a wall stud with enough screw length to make it secure. I like 'em.

I use these with my surround sound system. They are nice and sturdy. The only problem is that the screws with the stands do not fit the speakers. This is not really a problem. I just use the screws that came with my VISIO system and it is awesome. I highly recommend these..

I bought this set and installed it in my living room. It's really a nice system for the money. Of course, layout is critical. Don't bother with a 7.1 system if you can't get those rear surrounds set up behind you (difficult if your sofa is against the wall). I get plenty of loudness out of these.
