How to mount CSi5 and RTi6

Now that I mounted my plasma on the wall I want to mount my CSi5 above it and point it downward. I'd also want to put the RTi6 on the wall as wel.... How's everyone else doing this? Are there speaker brackets that fits the CSi5? I tried to look for some wall shelf but the available one won't fit and I'm too lazy to make a board out of scratch (I will if it's my only choice)

I saw some one use 2 or 3 L brackets and laid the centre on it

i wanna hang my csi1 on the way wish it had a bracket....i seen someuse a tv stand for it !

just putting on top of the tv is almost the standard way of doing it. I have a plasma so I won't be able to put it there. I want to be able to tilt the speakers downward since it'll be way up there so L brakcet isn't an optionSammy UN55C6400

How about L brackets underneath and flipping the center upside down
-
flipping it upside down won't work- that'd point it at the ceiling... Does it have keyhole mounts on the back like the LSiC?
Edit: I'm stupid... put it underneath& flip it upside down- good idea.Gallo Ref 3.1 : Bryston 4b SST : Musical fidelity CD Pre : VPI HW-19

nope no keyhole.... was told by polk never to drill into the power ports on the csi5 they're not made for mounting.Sammy UN55C6400

Sounds like your going to have to be crafty...
What I'd do:
Go to home depot, get two pieces of Oak, one is a plank slightly larger than the footprint of the CSi by 3/4" thick, the second is 1.5" by 3/4" by the length of the CSi. Get sturdy hinges. Attach the thin board to the plank to give you a slight lip (1/8")and attach the hinges to the back. screw to the wall. Use wire and eye hooks to adjust the height/angle.

Well, What I think you could do if make a nearly flat shelf and maybe use the kickstand that comes with it? Worth a shot, otherwise, you'll end up with a wierd shelf mount.
-
I tried the shelf option already and they didn't look to go... there are no bracket that looks half way decent to match with my components. It looks kinda off with a shelf above an expensive TV....
I was browsing around and there are some small speaker swivel mounts for light weight bookshelf/sat. Perhaps I can use a pair (one on each side) That way I can tilt it anyway I want... what do you think of that idea?
seems like the most common size are for 8lbs but if I use a pair or a treo of 10 lbs bracket then I should be good for the CSi5Sammy UN55C6400

Just knock a big hole in your wall, build a shelf and put the center channel to where it sticks out a couple of centimeters. Then you could put it at any angle want. Of course, this won't help your imaging(not to mention the boominess it will probably create from the rear ports), but it will look good.
Hope you find something suitable.
