Hey guys and gals. been a while. Got a quick question for everyone. I've had my rti4's on the regular straight wall mount s since I got them and I'm starting to think I would rather them on a 30 deg. angle. I currently use them as my surrounds and there is no way stands would fit where I need them to be.
Has anyone here had any success with any universal, movable and affordable mounts?
Thanx ahead of time and Happy Holidays!!!

30 degrees left to right or up and down? If left to right, I cannot recommend the B-Tech stands enough. They are really great and used by many here at Club Polk (including me).

The BT77 is outstanding.CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

Yes side to side.

Another BT77 user here.
Used to have my RTi4s on this mount - works perfectly.

Bought a set today, ordered and shipped. They were exactly what I was looking for. Thanx

I don't have any of the BT-77's, but I plan to get some when I get my RTi A1's. They look like about the best mount out there from what I've seen. I love that you don't have to drill into your speakers to use them.The nirvana inducer-

You do need to make sure the speakers do not slide forward out of the stand though. My father in law is using the B-Tech stands for his RTiA1's and it works great, but it does not grip the sides of that curved cabinet very well. (we used zip ties on his and they have been in place at full tilt for over 1 year now and through countless movies and have never slid an inch)Mains.............Polk LSi15 (Cherry)

Hm...I never thought of that actually. I could see the curved cabinets creating a problem there potentially. I'm not really set on getting wall mounts yet anyway though...I may end up getting some floor stands instead. Hearing that makes me lean towards the floorstands a little more.The nirvana inducer-

If you use the BT-77 with the RTiA3s or A1s, and you tilt the mounts down, then I would also strongly recommend using zip ties to keep the speakers secure.
Because the RTiAx series uses curved cabinets there is less surface area for the mounts to 'pinch' against.
I took some pictures of my RTiA3s with the zip ties in back:

Snug and safe.
