Mounting CS20

[swifteddie1]

Hello All.

I recently purchased a CS20 speaker to go along with my TSI400s.

My TV is a mounted on the wall and i do not have a TV stand so i was hoping to mount the CS20 on the wall as well.

I have looked around a little and have seen some people use these Pinpoint AM15 wall mounts.

Has anyone used these to mount their CS20 or can anyone recommend some wall mounts for use with a CS20?

Thanks.

There was a discussion about this earlier that has lots of potential possibilities for you to consider.

I have no direct experience with the Pinpoint AM15 mounts, but I dislike them for two reasons. One, they just look flimsy to me. Two, they are a two-piece design, which means you have to be absolutely perfect at mounting the two on the wall at the same level. Not exactly rocket science, but if a screw starts to angle up or down while you're putting it in the drywall, your speaker ends up crooked.

Welcome to the club swifteddie, are you familiar with steady eddie?

I had a wall mounted CS20, above the plasma and angled down to the listening spot. It was a bedroom set up and worked perfectly. I used my own lumber and L brackets. I took a piece of L aluminum strip to mount on the face of the shelf and the speaker rested against it to stay in place.

I made the shelf a bit too wide and eventually cut it down to fit.

Wow - that is impressive!

I used an over/under shelf bracket like this fastened to the wall with toggle bolts. I used black hardware and unless the room was well lit it made the speaker look like it was hanging in mid-air. Just mount the speaker where the shelf is in the pic. They cost about $2.50 bucks a piece.
