(More customer reviews)I bought the Axis AV black 6-pack and am using the mounts for ~3 lb satellite speakers. The kit comes with: 12 mounting plates, 6 (2.375)" straight extensions, 6 adjustable elbows, 6 adapter posts, allen wrench, plastic anchors, and an assortment of short and long screws (wood and machine) and plastic washers. Kit is made in China.
The instructions show how to connect brackets to threaded mounts, keyholes and two-hole speaker plates. Pieces are of a durable "fiber resin reinforced polymer" and seem to be of suffiently good quality. When screwed in place, the mounts hold stable with only a slight bounce when wiggled. I suspect with speakers upwards of 8 lbs there would be some sag over time, but the mounts are adjustable with set screws.
What would be nice to have with the kit is a short collar piece for close-to-wall mounting. Also, there is no mount hole cover so the screws (and some of the drywall molly) is slightly visible.
I had to hollow out the adapter post for the threaded mount on my speakers which have a slight rim around them. Using a countersink bit and a utility knife this was a fairly easy job. Would have been nice if the adapter had a deeper throat.
The basic drywall mollies provided are a nice gesture but don't work well as they twist in the drywall and don't allow a tight fit. Instead I used "E-Z Ancor tap-n-lock" ([...]) from Ace Hardware which worked very well.
