. . . If you need to angle it down a lot, the bottom of the speaker touches the wall very quickly (I have that problem with the full metal bracket). . .
Eric,
An easy way to simply correct this situation is to install on the wall a wooden bearing plate/block which will act as a shim and then screw the Axiom FMB or Sturdy Little Bracket to it. I does not take a thick shim to increase the tilt down angle, if needed.
I used 3/4" plastic stand-offs between the wall and the bracket on the top two screws. This creates a nice ~10deg angle. A bit hard to tell from the pic, except the vertical lines on the QS8's are not parallel to the other vertical lines in the room.
Click on MyHT and see the 3rd and 4th pics.
