Quintet III Speakers "Sag" when mounted to the wall...

I've recently purchased a set of the Quintet III speakers and after mounting them to my wall I have 2 of the 4 speakers that will not stay in their adjusted position. The weight of the speakers cause them to sag over night. I've tried loostening and retightening the 3 set screws around the swivel, but nothing works. Any suggestions?

Hello and Welcome!

First thing comes to me is with metal to metal contact would be *Loctite For other applications a 2 part adhesive, or super glue.

Loctite dries quickly enough! Not familiar with the mount, but this adhesive will work on more than screws(metal) and screws I would think are not backing off during the night.

Hope this helps you to find the real solution. Others here will be along more familiar with your design.

There is an "anti-sag" device built into the Quintet III. Just in front of the stem that connects the speaker to the base, there is a chrome pin that can be raised or lowered so that it contacts the under side of the speaker when it's in the proper position. So, loosen the 3 bolts, put the speaker in the position you want, tighten the 3 bolts and finally, unscrew the chrome pin so it contacts the bottom of the satellite. Presto! No more sleepy speakers.

Klipsch does have a solution builtin to accomodate! Please disregard my fixit! LOL! Maybe they got it sorted out!

Thanks!
