im thinking of puting my rm8's on my top rear wall with these brackets http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=108&cp_id=10828&cs_id=1082804&p_id=6839&seq=1&format=2 + the wall mounts that come with my rm8's . Question is would this be safe or would the bracket break and drop my speaker

    If those brackets support that they should have NO problem with a few pound speaker like an RM8 satellite, except for perhaps its odd shape? Those Polks weigh almost nothing and present no real structural support problems for most brackets? Just about "any" bracket would support that weight!

    I see what you're saying. Do you have the RM8s and are wondering if they'll "fit" the monoprice brackets (slots, screw, etc.)? Because I wouldn't know without seeing both pieces next to each other.
