Suggestion on wall bracket for LSIFX

Need suggestions for a swiveling wall bracket for the rear surround. I have them on my old stands and I think they would sound better higher up and further from my listening position. All the brackets I have seen on the net seem to be too small to hold them up by the bottom and the rear mount options I have no idea whether they will work for this speaker or not. Thanks for the input.

WHAT????
Dude the Lsifx's have key hole slots. They come with a template so you can mark your wall ancore placements.
I have no Idea why you would want piviting wall mounts and they are a bit heavy for this kind of Install. I don't reccomend it.
Go with the Key hole slots. Use #8's with EZ wall ancors. Or hit a stud and you only need one 2 inch drywall screw.
As far as hieght is concerned, 72 inches to the tweeter works for most rooms. If you have very high ceilings, then maybe 70 inches to the tweeter. The Lsi/fx's are great surroound speakers and need to be on the wall to perform there best.

My personal quest is to save to world of bad audio, one thread at a time. -
Well in my room I really don't want them behind my couch on the wall since the couch is almost flush to the wall.
I found a wall mount TV (13 inch) bracket with a strap that goes over the top. I placed some velcro adhesive tapes on the bottom for a more secure fit. They look and sound pretty awesome. I have them so that the top of the speaker is about 15 inches from the ceiling. Picked up the TV mounts from Lowe's for 49 bucks a piece. They aren't going anywhere since the bracket is screwed into a 2 by 4 behind the drywall by 4 monster screws. It's secure now. -
On this same subject, what does a person do about running speaker wire to these speakers if they are wallmounted flush to the wall. I'm in the process of redoing my HT room now and am trying to figure out how I bring my speaker wire out of the wall if these speakers are flush. Would I just put a plate up that has a hole in it for wire to exit out of? Also, my ceiling is 7'5".....would it be best to mount the LS/FX's upside down at the top of the wall so that they are directing the sound downward? Any reply is appreciated.

1) Use an Old Work Box next to the speaker location.
2) http://www.decorp.com/
3) Mount the speakers flush on the wall, anything else is just wrong. You won't get the performance that you expect.
