In reply to:
Rather than use a shelf, I'd like to consider the FMB. However, considering that the VP150 is listed at about 17 lbs., it seems kind of heavy for a 2 bolt wall mount.
I used the FMB to mount my VP150 above my Samsung HLN-507W 50" DLP rear projection HDTV. It works fine.
However -- the FMB mounting holes MUST be into a wall stud. If no wall stud is available, you should mount a horizontal board behind the VP150, spanning two wall studs and drill into that.
In theory you could use some fancy dry wall anchors. Some are rated for that much weight, but I wouldn't trust them considering what's at stake.
