 20lbs mounts are 3/8 - 16 mounting thread (10 lbs mounts are 1/4 - 20)Feb 01, 2009
By C. Gessner

The product is very good, however be sure to check the thread size on the back of your speakers. Many speakers that you will find for your home will have a 1/4" - 20 mounting thread in the back of the speaker. The Omni-mount 20 lbs mounts (both wall and ceiling type) will have 3/8" - 16 threads. Personally, I used the 20 lbs mounts and added a 3/8" - 16 female to 1/4" - 20 male thread adapter (also called a standoff sometimes) in order to mount my speakers. If you are mounting wood speakers with no pre-installed threaded insert for mounting, than the thread size doesn't matter since it comes with the required parts for screwing into the back of the wood frame speaker.
I agree with the other reviewer(s) that you should mount it to studs to get it properly secured.

Just RightJul 08, 2008
By R. Grand
I received the speaker mount and was very impressed with how extensive the kit was. It had everything I needed to mount my speakers to the ceiling. Let me tell you, these mounts are very sturdy and have shown no indication of slipping at all. I am very happy with these mounts and actually purchased a second set for my rear surround speakers. One personal note about the amount of weight they hold: I would reduce by 50% the actual amount of weight the speaker mount will hold in place without any slippage or extra wear, when compared to the manufactures maximum weight (i.e. published max. holding weight of 20 lbs, I would suggest that a speaker no more than 10 lbs). This has been my personal experience.

 Careful of the weight !!!Nov 16, 2009
By D. Bunger
While the overall construction of these mounts is pretty good, the weight rating is questionable. I tried to use these with MK LCR950's which were near the 20 lb. mark and they simply didn't work. The speakers put too much of a load on the ball to get it to clamp properly. They were also not easily adjusted, since the plastic ball was deformed once clamped and making a minor adjustment was no longer possible. I did use the ceiling mount version for the smaller siblings to these speakers and they worked fine. Other review recommending derating these by 50% is probably pretty accurate.

Amazing Mount!!!!Jan 31, 2009
By Ryan Lesniewski
These mounts are the best available for ceiling mounts! Easy to install, and they don't require mounting into a stud. A drill bit is included if you have to drill into your speakers to intall the mounting plate. I was able to unscrew the keyhole bracket on my Polk Monitor 30's and use those holes for the mounting plate without any problem.
Once you have these attached to the ceiling mount, they are easy to maneuver so they can face any direction that you need them to face. After you have them facing where you want and you tighten the hex screw down, these mounts WILL NOT MOVE. The 20lb weight rating should be strong enough to handle almost any bookshelf speaker you can imagine. I bought 4 of these for my 7.1 setup and I couldn't be happier!

These Things (Don't) Rock!Feb 08, 2008
By Kevin
These turned out to be the perfect mounts for my application. I have unusually heavy bookshelf speakers (Aperion) that I wanted to mount for use as my rear speakers in a 7.1 setup. I had trouble finding sturdy and unobtrusive mounts that would support them and give me some flexibility in terms of positioning. My speaker company recommended these, so I gave them a shot. I needed to get the 20.0 ones (they have smaller ones with lighter load ratings) because my speakers were pretty close to the 20-pound limit. They mounted easily and firmly to my ceiling and attached to the back of the speaker using the included bracket with no problem. The best thing going for these is the ball socket. I knew from experience using Yamaha drums that have ball mounts for their toms that you could lock them into place and they'd stay there, even under heavy pounding. You can swivel, angle, and aim them any direction you want, tighten the allen bolt, and it will stay exactly in position. I can try to rock my speakers by hand and they barely move. After over a year in place at somewhat odd angles (pointing in and down), my speakers haven't slid (crept) a bit. In other words, they don't rock at all. In terms of utility, they definitely do rock!
Highly recommended for everyone who needs a sturdy, yet flexible heavy-duty speaker mount that can work on either the wall or ceiling.
