Hey guys, quick question. My last speaker showed up from Ohio today (apparently it wanted to do a little site seeing before being sent to its new home). Anyway, I have the QS8's in place no problem, I managed to hit a stud on one side of each t bracket and used a heavy duty hollow wall anchor for the other side, they seem good.
Now...I was going to mount the M2's using the full metal brackets, however I do not think I can hit a stud on one of the walls. I know they're only 11 pounds, but holding them up by the back of the bracket seems really heavy. Am I ok to mount these by just using two heavy duty anchors (they're not weight rated)? I assume once in place the wall adds some support, but I don't want to be putting holes in the wall if the general consensus is it's not going to work...
Any opinions appreciated...

Any reason why you couldn't move the few,10,12 inches either way to ensure you hit a stud? Otherwise I would at least use a Molly/Butterfly bolt for the top position.

Well, I got them hung. I did find some studs, but had to make some compromises. Not sure if I like it, but it seems to be working so far. I'll try to post some pics tomorrow. I went with 7.1 even though my room is a bit small for it, wider than it is longer. But I figured I'd get the speakers now while my wife was agreeable, so when the basement is finished and I move down there into a bigger room I'll be all set.
