If someone knows where I can order sturdy brackets like these that can securely hold M22's on the wall, and allow the speaker to face forward, please let me know. I'd really like to use that one screw mount method, so I don't have to drill holes in the speakers and monkey around with mounting them a different way, but I will, if that's the only other option.

These Axiom brackets are useless to me. I've noticed this for some time with the M2 mounted to the wall, but for 1 small speaker it didn't really bother me. But for all of them to face one way, or the other, now that would bother me.

I really doubt that I've got a lemon bracket. I'll bet they are all made that way.

I suppose that one other option, would be to grind off the teeth on the brackets where they meet so I'm not dependent on them for direction. But, after looking at it, that would be rather difficult.
