Review on Vantage Point BSM-B Bookshelf Series Speaker Mounts - Black, Versatile & Compact, 12 x 9.5 x 3.8 inches by Donnie King

I would really like these mounts if there weren't three things: 1. Distance between the wall and the speaker. It's so small that you can deploy and align even the smallest of satellites without hitting a wall, making the payload useless. I've been trying to install fairly large and heavy bookshelf speakers (Martin Logan Motion 15) and if I just wanted them to point straight out of the wall they would work. But I wanted to angle them down and over the main listening position, and the wall didn't allow the speakers to move. Conclusion: If the bracket weight is 25 pounds, these are large speakers and you need more space from the wall.2. I know they are universal but the mounting plate doesn't sit flush with the back of the speaker so it was impossible to push down leaving no play in the speaker.3. The included hex wrench was stronger than the set screw on the bracket and ripped it off after I tried to find an angle that wasn't straight off the wall. If I could "set and forget" it would probably be fine. But loosening and re-tightening it once seemed like too much and it broke. I wish it worked but they didn't.
