  1. Hi Sanjeeb, I'm kind of in the same situation as you. I want to wall mount my R-51M speakers and asked for help from the community. (See Wall Mounting R-51M Speakers? last entry 1/2/19) Like me, you seem to have researched as many wall mounting brackets as I did, and came up with the same options. Here's what I did and why. I went with https://www.amazon.com/VideoSecu-Clamping-Bookshelf-Surrounding-MS56B/dp/B000X9O8SI/ref=lp_297859_1_9?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1546793207&sr=1-9 For several reason's to include almost 1300 reviews of the mounts and decent rating, solid construction, ability to clamp, screw, and strap the speaker to the mount, and lastly, it has a minimum width of 5.3", swivel 360 degs. tilt up to 10 degs, and hold up to 33 lbs (My 51s are 11lbs a piece) The other two mounting brackets hold up 55 and 66 lbs respectively. Which I felt was overkill. And for one reason or another, I didn't feel they fit my needs. I just got them delivered yesterday and have yet to mount them on my wall or even to open the box. With that said, I'll probably mount them on the wall over the weekend (with any luck) after first determining how to attach the speakers to the mount. I have a few ideas and I hope to channel my MacGyver creativity into a workable solution. BTW....nothing I'm considering has to do with using screws to attach the speakers to the mount. That's crazy! If you've come up with a solution since you posted this, I'd be interested in finding out how you did it. Otherwise, stay tuned
  2. Hey Wuzzzer, I appreciate the feedback! I could mount the speakers on stands as you describe. I hesitate for two reasons. 1) Aesthetically, I would be looking at the back of the speaker/stand and wire (left of couch) each time I cam into the room. 2) But most importantly, I've got four grandkids ages 3-8 that love to watch movies on Papaw's big *** tv. Kids being kids, it would only be a matter of time before someone tripped over it and cracked a head or speaker. For these reasons, that's why I was wanting to wall mount them on the wall above the couch. Lastly, the numbers always mess me up a bit, but I think my setup is going to be a 5.1.2 (?)
  3. What's the best way to mount a set of R-51M to the wall? I'm going to use them as my surround speakers, but sitting them on stands would cause a tripping hazard. Thanks! (PS....Please excuse the mess as I'm doing a bit of reconfiguring my ManLand)
  4. Very cool feature! I'm new to Klipsch and could have used your system builder when I made a major purchase (to me) of Klipsch speakers) during your recent Black Friday extended sale. I purchased the R-820F Floorstanding Speakers, a Klipsch R-34C Center Speaker and lastly a set of your R-41SA Surround Speakers with Dolby Atmos. I'm pairing it all up with an LG OLED65B7A that I bought in Jan 2018. I have it hanging beautifully on the wall my Man Land. My sophisticated alternative to Man Cave.....No knuckle draggers here! I still may need another set of surround or ceiling speakers and an Atmos enabled receiver to complete my set up. I have an old sub that I have left over from my old Onkyo theatre-in-a-box surround system. Any ideas/suggestions on how to place the R-41's (on top of my820's or hang them on my rear back wall?) and a decent receiver that can push it all would be appreciated. Thanks
