    Default Any clever wall mounting ideas for large bookshelf speakers?

    Ive got a pair of Klipsch RP-600M's that i want to temporarily install in a small bedroom, though there is no floor space in there for their floor-stands and it maybe a year till i can set them up properly elswehere in the house. In the meantime i'd like to try and mount them on the bedroom wall to get some use out of them, even if the wall/speaker placement is far less than ideal. The only thread ive found referring to doing this is here, though im based in the UK and those mounts aren't easily available here. The only mounts I've found are these , and whilst the width is good (which is the important measurement, because they need to 'grip' the speaker), the depth is a little shy of the speaker's full depth. Has anyone tried wall mounting something similar with these, or indeed any other quite large bookshelves and have any tips? Perhaps a DIY solution would work, though I don't fancy drilling into the Klipsch's..any suggestions welcome.

    yes they are quite deep which makes it harder . i guess the wall is very solid construction is it ?

    personally i would look at something more appropriate and save your effort . i.e wall hung speakers with easy to fit clips

    yes, the wall is very solid, it's solid brick, could easily take the weight of the speakers.

    thing is i already have the Rp 600m's and would rather not sell them for those RP-500SA (is that what you meant?)

    Would you be able to make a couple of shelves, I know this is what I'm going to do since an ebay purchase fell through a couple of days ago. Ok, my speakers are smaller and lighter than yours. Although these are not the ones I purchased, mine were cheaper, I did look at these. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Side-Clam...4f4052cd70eeb6

    Given that the Klipsch are only just over 7kg, there's not a lot of weight to support.
    Do you want the speakers to angle downwards to any degree, or will they sit horizontal, only to be angled inwards a taj?
    Like you, if it were me, I wouldn't want to drill or spoil the finish of the speaker, so may look at an appropriate television wall mount and manufacture a 'shelf' that may be screwed to the tv bracket. There's a much larger choice in this field and a shelf to suit the speaker / tv bracket would not be difficult.
    Wouldn't cost silly 'hi-fi' money either!. . .

    Does it need to be a 'pretty' solution to keep SWMBOs tongue in check?
    If not grab a couple of joist hangers, some 4x2 and a couple of pieces of 20mm ply/mdf.
    Joist hanger screwed to wall, 4x2 cut to provide sufficient speaker to wall stand-off and shoved in joist hanger. 2"x8 or 10 screws go in the side of joist hangers so timber won't pull out easy. Add ply/mdf to ends as speaker platform.
