Speaker Bracket
I want new speakers and I need to be able to mount them on wall brackets (because stands are likely to get knocked over in my house, and speakers don't usually sound as good as then could on shelves). Even a small speaker can get quite heavy and some designs seem to be quite deep so they will lever themselves off the wall or bend a bracket that is too small, but most most of the big brackets look ugly and look like they will have trouble gripping speakers with curved edges like the Wharfedale 9.1 or Kef Q1 speakers.
The B-Tech Aviball range of mounts looks perfect for me - it is pretty much hidden behind the speaker, and you can set the speaker in any position (so, it doesn't matter so much if you don't get the bracket on the wall dead straight).
As recommended by real people: avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=673643 but watch out, because there is a suggestion that you have to buy two of these, they don't come in pairs. Something to check before you click "buy" :-)
So now I can buy a speaker that Em likes the colour of, not just one that fits the brackets that I already have. Maybe I can get one that sounds nice too!
