Comment:
The build quality of these satellite speakers mounts are really good. The extension piece that comes with it also comes in really handy. Just make sure that you use the appropriate mounting method when using these. You will want to mount these on a stud if possible. If not you must make sure you use proper drywall mounting techniques. Unless you want to damage your walls that is.
These are great wall mounts for satellite speakers and I highly recommend them. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the mounts may require you to screw into the back of your satellite speakers as I had to do on mine. this is not a big problem but some people my not like having to do this.

Comment:
I have a pair of vintage NHT Zero's I wanted to mount on my Plaster and Lathe wall as rear surrounds. I have talked myself out of doing this many times over the past 5 years. Finally I bought these mounts and bit the bullet. Here is what I learned about the mount kit.
First it comes with 2 different sets of speaker mounting hardware. for really small sattelites (Think Bose cubes) and regular bookshelf/small speakers. It also has most common mounting hardware such as keyholes, screw ins, etc... In my case I had to drill pilot holes into the speaker and use the oval shaped 2 screw mount. This was actually very easy following the instructions on the package.
The next step is you mount a bracket to the wall, it comes with 2 heavy plastic wall anchors which say they work for drywall, hollow block and masonry. I chose to use molly bolts which meant a little extra work, but plaster as I mentioned is scary and you don't want it crumbling. I drilled a small 1/4" hole halfway behind the bracket for the wire which I fished via the basement to the receiver on the far side of the room. Once everything is mounted you cannot see any wires.
Once this is done there is a small jointed connector piece that connects to the stud on the speaker bracket and the stud on the Wall Bracket. It can be adjusted for tilt to a pretty wide degree. Everything gets tightened up with the included Allen wrench and that's about it.
They seem well made and the instructions were very easy to follow.
I would definitely recommend these and would use them again in the future.

Mounts and very easy to install, currently holding 8lb Pioneer mounts with no problems. They are adjustable which made it very easy for me to move them for the maximum sound quality without worrying that the speakers would fall down. I would buy these again in a heartbeat

Comment:
Everything is plastic, except for the hardware, but the mounting mechanics are sound. I used the wall-mount option. There is a little flex in the mounts once attached, but I think this is reasonable for the mount type. If any sag occurs during the life of the mount, they can easily be re-pointed. I used about a 5-6 lb. speaker and the supplied drywall anchors did a fine job. I liked the look of these online even though the pictures weren't quite as detailed as I'd have liked. I wasn't disappointed with the actual product either. I think the provided screws were a little long for my particular speaker attachment, but they are pretty common and I was able to scavenge a set from my former floor stands. There are numerous mounting options and mounting screws and such.
Comment:
This is a great product that is very easy to use and looks great. The best part is that it can articulate to many positions easily.
