Hi all, I would like to mount a QS4 on my telepost cover. I know I could use the Full Metal Bracket, but I would rather have it mount flush. Problem is, only the center part of the bracket would be screwed into the telepost - the arms of the T bracket would not be screwed to anything as they would overhang the telepost cover. I know the QS4 attaches to the bracket on either arm of the T. I am wondering if the T will support the speaker even if the arms are not fastened to a wall. Assuming this would be fine for the QS4's, would the QS8s work as well, or would that maybe getting too heavy?

Make a wooden "plaque" large enough to span the T-bracket, screw it to the post, then mount your T-bracket/QS on top of that. You can paint or stain the plaque to match either the post or the speaker itself, whichever you prefer. The "ears" on the T-bracket are a too flimsy without a couple of screws on the outside to supprt them otherwise.
Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

thanks.

Make the arms the same size as the T, then you wouldn't see them.

I would most likely try them as is and go from there. Once the center of the T is well anchored I think the arms will be OK.

^I might just do that when the time comes. Not sure if I want to move my surrounds off of the back wall and put them on the sides (one wall, one telepost) or just leave as is and when I go 7.1 put the new ones on the side.
Thanks again for the demo today Jason.
Darren.

You are most welcome. I remembered why I couldn't get the DTS -HD soundtrack, I had done the firmware update but never went back into the settings to reset the audio on the player to bitstream and not PCM. I now have a new router as well and things are working better now

Ha. Glad you got it figured out and it was nothing more serious.

I secetly wished it was the 3808 so I could justify buying a new avr/separates

I disagree with Jason--those arms will bend if they're at least not partially connected to something solid.
