Just curious if anyone has ever done this. I have previously wall mounted some pretty big speakers with some Omnimounts, but they only go up to 25 lbs.

I've never wall mounted 1099's, but I have wall mounted a pair of 1299's in my garage. I built an angled shelf for them - they tilt forward at about a 13 degree angle. I have them tethered at the top to studs in the wall so they won't fall and crush anyone. I opted to mount them upside down so the waveguide is at ear level for me.
Thanks for all the responses guys. I don't think the french cleat will work because I do need to toe them in a bit. I was considering this because I really didn't want to build them as towers, but that is probably the smartest way to go.
I really like the french cleat idea. It can be made to carry a ton of weight too. This is a scale mockup of what I'm trying to do with my 82" Samsung and a set of 1099 LCRs.
I assume wall mounting them will transfer a ton of vibration to the upstairs and rest of the house though? I should probably build some big sand filler speaker stands.
It's been a long time since I asked this question, but I am finally finishing the room. I decided to make French cleats that are slightly angled in. Since the studs weren't exactly where I wanted them, I put panels of 1/2" MDF on the walls and they are anchored in 12 places each. Tomorrow I will paint them to match the walls. This should have no problem holding the weight of the 1099s.
In case you are wondering, the floor is white because carpet is going in tomorrow and the subfloor has a layer of Kilz primer on it.
It's call of duty. This was my original theater build. It's changed drastically since. The little Jug machine a fridge.
