Adjustable wall mounts for Jamo a102 5.1

I am looking for 2 adjustable wall mounts for my back 2 speakers, I would like some so that I can point the speakers down to where we are sitting. Does anyone know any online or highstreet shops that sell them.

I've got this speakers... the standard bracket has enough movement left/right.

If you screwed into a joist i'd don't see why you can't having them hanging from the ceiling.

Or how about using some wooden wedges screwed to the wall onto which you then attach the speakers?

Thats what I was sort of thinking of but something made of metal would be better, just a case of finding something that will work, wouldn't want the speakers on the celing as I have already put up the trunking and cut the speaker wire to size.

My speakers are at a similar hight but we sit almost beside the speakers and thats why I would like to have something to poing them directly at us because the speakers are directional, or so I have read. The surround sound was better when they were on the stands tbh, I was doing quite well at COD4 and could hear clearly the direction where people were coming from but now im finding it harder to hear people walking and I'm getting killed more .

I have these speakers and I just carved a section out of the plaster at the lower part of the bracket to give me the angle I needed. Bit like the wedge solution mentioned earlier. Very easy and very neat.

My walls are solid brick, don't think I would be capable of doing something that would look nice either, surely somewhere sells something that will it the speakers and allow them do be pointed down a bit. Thanks for all the replys btw

Hey. If you want to point the speakers downwards simple mount the bracket sideways so that instead of moving left/right the speaker moves up/down. Thats what I did when putting mine up yesterday. See the pics of it here:

Log Cabin Movie Room incl SketchUp plan

Look at the two front speakers over the projector screen

That's an interesting approach - I might adjust our rear speakers and see if it improves the sound.

Think I will have a go at that, do they sound the same when mounted sideways as they would do if they were mounted the correct way?
