marcos Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I just picked up a pair of RB-61II. I need to mount these on the wall. Can someone point me in the direction of the best wall mount brackets? Since the speakers will be angled downwards, do I need to attach the speakers to the wall mounts with screws? Is it better to have hidden wall mounts and screw into the back of the speaker instead of the bottom? Thanks in advance! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a search for "side clamp speaker mount" These are the ones I use but there are a lot of cheaper options thru Amazon. http://www.pinpointmounts.com/AM-40_Side_Clamping_Bookshelf_Speaker_Wall_Mount.html My RB75's have threaded inserts on the bottom so I was able to secure to mount with those in lieu of drilling or screwing into the wood cabinet.

marcos Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 Thanks for the heads up on Pinpoint! I've read that the RB-61II's do not have bottom threaded inserts, unfortunately. I hate the idea of screwing anything into new speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Can you just put them on a small shelf on the wall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcos Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 I could put them on two small shelves separately. Although they will be quite high (above fireplace mantle) and have to be angled downward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Isn't there anywhere else they can be mounted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcos Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 Unfortunately no. I think I will try small shelves and get pads to angled them downwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcos Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 btw, I have a 2 year old which rules out anywhere he can reach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 This is probably a little little more industrial looking than you are looking for, but they were the right solution to mounting Heresys high on the walls of a middle school band room. The brackets (Parts Express) are adjustable in two planes. Use your imagination to flip the speaker in the last photo. The “Klipsch” logo is right side up as the speaker is installed. Don’t be confused by the speaker being upside down when installed. It was intentionally installed that way to place the tweeters closer to the listeners. The metal cup needs to be installed into the functional bottom of the speaker. You need to cut a hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Klipsch Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 You could try a pair of kpt250 which are essentially heresy lll that are angled@15 degrees down and sound fantastic and come with brackets. KPT-250-Data-Sheet-v09.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
