JUST GOT A PAIR OF YAMAHA ns-333 has anybody wall mounted these themselves and how by just using two screws or any specific wall mounts thanks in advance

While I haven't hung these exact speakers before I have hung heavier ones. All I did was get some hollow wall anchors screws and I was golden. If you use two they should easily be able to hold up those speakers.

E-Z Anchors

I personally like E-Z Anchors. They're so much easier to work with and remove if needed.

...and they leave a giant hole when they are removed. I just finished patching those holes with wood filler and covering it up with spackle.

Regular old plastic anchors work fine if you can use two of them. If you can get at least one screw into a stud, all the better.

I have used the E-Zs or at least something very much like them. They do leave a significant hole. But they hold up a lot of weight. I had a pair holding up a pretty heavy projection screen for a couple of years.

I used ez-anchors to mount the brackets in link below

to hold up a pair of PSB B1s which are rated for 12 pounds. These brackets are great as it leaves enough distance from the back wall if you have rear ported speakers.

I purchased these at Future Shop here in Canada, I think the US equivalent being Best Buy.
Hope this helps

From the diagram of the bracket, I'd say there's not more than 4" clearance between the wall and the back of the speaker, probably a lot less. Is that enough? Should I consider them as alternatives to stands?

I think 4" would be plenty

but you probbaly could get more by sliding the speaker towards the front and past the clamps. If the plate that the speaker rests on is horizontal and not tipped down towards th elistening area, you could probably slide out more than if the plate was angled towards the listener. I couldn't use stands in my setup because one of them would have gotten in the way of the traffic pattern and would have to be moved back and forth all the time

Too sleepy to figure out what you mean dude. I'll revisit in the morning. By the way.. traffic pattern.. that's funny .

I agree. I used E-Z Anchors to mount a 70 pound projector screen with no problem holding the weight. Each screw is rated for 50lbs of weight!

Any kind of screw is going to leave a hole. Mine left a hole, but it's not that big a deal. It wasn't that big of a hole for me anyway. Besides, fillig in a hole is not that hard, IMO.
