Help - distance between threaded inserts on bottom of RB-81II / wall mount recommendations

The subject says it all. I'm having a hell of a time finding a suitable wall-mount bracket for RB-81IIs, but it looks like some pro-mount brackets might work. However, I'd need an adapter for a 1-3/8" mounting post; this could work depending on the spacing of the threaded inserts on the bottom of the speaker.

Here's the wall mount I'm looking at: http://www.fullcompass.com/product/360866.html

Here's the adapter that'd be needed: http://www.fullcompass.com/product/329241.html

Clearly the only way the adapter will work is if the speaker's threaded inserts are far enough apart.

Since for some reason Klipsch doesn't post this info on their website, could someone please measure and post the distance between the two threaded inserts on the bottom of the RB-81II?

Also, I'm open to any recommendations of wall brackets that would work with these speakers and would use the threaded inserts. I plan to use the RB-81IIs as front height speakers in a 9.2 (and eventually Dolby Atmos 13.2) setup. Drilling into the speakers is not an option nor are the type if brackets that clamp the speakers from the sides.

Thanks in advance!

I used these for my RB75's which are similar (little bigger) in size. I was able to put a bolt into the threaded insert on the bottom instead of putting screws into the sides of the speakers. Very secure and will tilt and swivel. I think forum member Johnnydrama just got some 81's and could give you the exact measurements

These might work as well:
