Hi, this is my first post on this site. I've enjoyed reading the posts here. I've been pretty crazy about Hi-Fi since 1975 when I bought my first system. I have never owned a pair of wall mount speakers before, and I was wondering if the included brackets on my new speakers were the best mounting options or is there a better way? I'm retiring my 1984 DCM Time Window IA speakers. (I think my son is wanting them real bad.) Also I have a laundry room behind my system so I can run whatever I want behind the wall. Thanks for any suggestions.

    +1 on the BT77's, they are a great mount and will suit your needs just fine. The mounts on the 100's will work just fine as well, just don't allow for much positioning to be able to swivel or tilt. The BT77's will allow you to position the 100's much more than the stock mounting plate on the back of them. Welcome to Club Polk.

    I cheaped out and mounted the speakers using the on board speakers mounts. I did put spacers under the outsides of the mounts to angle the speakers in. I was not allowed to use the speakers until the 16th because they were a birthday present. Man do they sound great! Along with my Velodyne 12 inch sub I have an awesome 2 channel primarily music system. My 1984 Harman Kardon PM650 amp has more than enough power.

    Glad to see you like them. As long as they are positioned correctly, it doesn't matter if you used bubble gum and duct tape, lol. Enjoy!!
