MattW Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Hi, I purchased quintet III speakers a couple of weeks ago and am in the process of mounting them onto the walls using the provided brackets. The problem is that the speaker seems too heavy for the ball and socket mount and so does not hold it in the correct place. In fact the whole speaker sags so that it is facing the ground! Has anyone else experienced this and if so were you able to fix it. I tightened the screws as much as possible but this doesnt seem to work. Any advice would be very gratefully received! Cheers, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Blacksmith Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 The speakers only weigh 3.5 pounds each so I can't see why the mount would not hold them. The product spec sheet says the base should be able to be wall mounted via keyholes. You could try the question line phone number 1-888-554-5665 Any comments from our Amy? or Prof Thump?

liebherr954 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 It seems to be a very common problem, you can either put tape on the ball of the speaker, or you put them on stands. Try doing a search, I had the same problem, I made some brackets that turned out nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattW Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thanks for your advice - yep have noticed this problem seems to be a commonly raised design flaw in online forums. I have put tape on the socket part of the joint which seemed to provide enough friction between the ball and socket. Layout of room doesnt really favour stands (and bracket mounting was one of main reasons for buying these speakers!) Very disappointed with Klipsch and wonder whether this is the only flaw with the speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liebherr954 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Hay Matt it does seem to ne a common problem, but I think that is the only flaw you will find with the Quintetes. They are great little speakers that sound better and cost less then the Bose equivalent, be warned though you will get the upgrade bug[] NK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
