Newf,

In the pictures you included, it appears that you mounted the FMB upside down (Or in the reversed orientation as they are shown here http://www.axiomaudio.com/fullmetalbracket.html). Did the FMB hold your VP150 in place for 5 years?

I only ask because I am about to place an Axiom order. I need a wall mount for my requirements, but would not have been able to mount with the FMB unless I flip it downwards (as it appears you did). I asked Axiom and they said "upright only" as it appears on the website. I am thinking I could flip the bracket upside down like you did as my application would be for M2's which are roughly half the weight of the VP150.

Hope your repairs go well.

regards,
Bill
