I am looking for a set of wall mounts for my Kef iQ10's. I cant seem to find the authentic ones, does anyone have any suggestions on a good set and where to get them?
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks,
Those do look awesome but the issue for me is going to be that they only tit 7 degrees, I don't think that's going to be enough. I'm going to be mounting them close to the ceiling so I need a little more tilt.

On second thought, is 7 degrees enough? I really don't know.
If I am able to stumble across the Kef mounts, does anyone know if they tilt or not. I cant seem to find any specs.
Thanks

The surround speakers do not have to be aimed directly at one's head to be effective. We used to recommend them being a few feet above ear level aimed perpendicular to the wall, thus helping folks further away to be more on axis than the closer folks.

I seen this on one of the reviews,
Caution: misleading product description. "The brackets hold your speakers securely without the need to drill or screw into the speaker's cabinet." The instructions specifically state, "in order to maintain maximum safety it is necessary to use small security screws." Huh, 'necessary', really? So theyre NOT "secure" then huh? Included with these brackets are five screws, three go into the bottom of the speaker and one into each side that screw INTO the speaker cabinet. If I had wanted a mounting solution that utterly voided my speaker warranty I surely wouldnt have spent this much on a pair of brackets to do so! While these brackets have a refined look and do allow for adjustment post-install, they DO in fact require you to "drill or screw into the speakers cabinet." According to the included instructions anyway...
Not sure how it would sit but no way I would be drilling into the speakers.

^^^ Since the originally sought KEF mounts required drilling, I figured this would not be a problem. In fact I can think of no mounts that won't need mounting screws, other than those powered monitors from Blue Sky, which have threaded inserts.

Would these be any good?

What I like about them is that they swivel in any direction and have a support wire if something breaks.
My speakers are rated around 10 lbs and these say they support 15.

Do the Kef mounts tilt up and and down or just left and right?

There is a slight up and down adjustment.The speakers naturally tilt down in the slot provided for the wing nut and bolt provided but you could make them more straight if desired.The mounts are quite nice for the price and fit the speaker like a glove.I bought a complete set of Kef with the front IQ50 center IQ60 and Iq10 for rears.I am extremely happy with all speakers but am most impressed with the IQ10

I'm glad to hear that. I'm pretty sure my wife got them for me for Christmas.

I'm going to use them as my rear surrounds. If they sound anything like the rest of my Kef's I know I'll be happy.

Thread from the dead.
Looking to mount my iQ10's on the wall across from my desk, because they are currently blocked by my computer monitors.
Any other good options out there? I'm thinking some industrial double sided tape to help keep them in place.
