Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners QS8 "T bracket"

I bought my pair of QS8s a few years ago, and they came with a simple bracket for wall mounting, which I didn't use (because I bought the then-wood stands for them). I see the "T bracket" on the website - does this currently come with the QS8s, and is it a superior option to what I have?

Or would the FMB be a better choice?

I'm planning on buying 2 more QS8s to complete a 7.1 system, but I was wondering if I should add on some additional brackets to the order.

Thanks

It all depends on your room. If you have walls in the right place, I think most people just use the T brackets and never look back. If the walls are sorta-kinda in the right place but you need to mount at wacky angles then FMBs or other brackets are required. If there are no walls where you need them (like my new room) then you have to buy stands.

Axiom doesn't list T-brackets on the web site, presumably because they are included with every QS4/8 speaker, but I imagine if you give them a call they could toss a couple of extra brackets in the shipment for not much $$

You would have no clue as to what wacky angles might be do ya John.

You know, I thought they never had the T brackets online, but I remember seeing them somewhere on the website. Then, I wanted to look into buying replacment ones, but then looked and looked and looked and clicked on stuff then couldn't find it.

But, alas! I found it after much clicking! It is hidden in the gear or "fun stuff" section.

Anyways, back to the normal question, I don't see how the QS8's T bracket would be any more "superior" unless the way you have them now are blocking sound from coming out right, or if having your QS8's on the wall would be better positioned.

Well, no. I managed to put the walls in the wrong place so for me angles are purely hypothetical.

Thanks for the replies.

The QS8s that I bought only came with 2 small individual brackets per speaker, each of which have to be placed on the wall to match with 2 other brackets that you attach to the speaker. The T bracket looks like it may be more stable and easier to use.

I saw the T brackets available in the fun gear section, and wondered if it was worth the $ to upgrade. ( My brackets are still lying in the box, as I have used stands up until now.)

They are only $20 a pair so, if you want to try them it really isn't that much of a hit on the ol' wallet.

Well jus for my thinking u have the QS 8's right ? then the ones supplied with the Speaks should b plenty enough firm , what i used on mine jus get ya sum of the Plastic Wallboard things cannot remember what they are called so u can screw the Screws into them to help with support to handle the weight an u should b good to go

>>The QS8s that I bought only came with 2 small individual brackets per speaker, each of which have to be placed on the wall...

I bought my QS8s about a year ago, and they included T-brackets. Did you not get T-brackets with your QS8s ?

>>... to match with 2 other brackets that you attach to the speaker.

Also, the mating brackets were pre-attached to the back of the QS8s; I didn't have to attach them myself...

When did you purchase your QS8s ? Wondering if yours are older or newer... [EDIT] Never mind, I just re-read your original post.... looks like earlier QS8s may have come with a different bracket arrangement. You can largely ignore this post

Just don't want to see you buy and wait for T brackets then go "dang, I already have these"

Thanks guys.
I bought mine in 2003, no T brackets.
But for $20, if they are more secure (or easier to install correctly and safely) then I'll probably just go for it; add it on to the 2nd pair of QS8s I'll be ordering soon.

Finally had my family room redone - skanky carpet gone, new floor and paint. New french door too which will probably give me some echoes, but I took the opportunity to add a partial back wall (was open to the kitchen) to give me a symmetrical place to hang 2 rear surrounds for 7.1. I can hang the sides as well - they have been on stands up until now. After I get 'em hung and wired, I have clearance to get the big screen!
