Wall-mounting KEF 3005 speakers

Well I'm sure you could borrow a hammer and drill from some one to do it. As that is pretty much all the tools needed.
Well I do have these tools, actually. But I'll need something to hold the metal piece in order to bend it.
That would work.. And you could even make that from flat iron to make it stronger, just need to bend it twice and drill holes, that way you could make 2 holes in both ends and avoid the speaker from getting in wrong angle. That way you could also make it in specific angle you want the speaker to be in.

Edit: After looking at this I got an simple idea that would work and look decent as well.


You will need flat iron 1" wide for example cut in desired length and bend it to angle, drill 1 hole to fit threaded rod / bolt that fits your speaker thread, apply nut(s) to hold it on place and drill 2 holes for wall mounting. After you have finished it paint it to match your wall color and mount it.
The benefit of having two separate L shaped pieces of metal is that I can use the screw that connects the two to move the speaker sideways for the desired level of toe-in.

Come to think of it... Maybe I can do it with one piece of metal as well, by setting the speaker properly before screwing the mount into it.

Edit: I think I can do it with just one piece of L shaped metal.
It's just like you've shown in your illustration, except I won't have to bend it myself - I'll just buy an L shaped piece and use the mounting hole that goes up (instead of the one that goes towards the front of the speaker). I hope I'll be able to find the long bolt that I need... And I assume I'll need to use washers throughout most of the bolt's thread so that it won't move inside the "pocket" that leads to the screwing thread.

Almost there! Bought the things today, going to install them during over the weekend.
Just need to shave a tiny bit of the small L piece so that it would fit all the way inside the "tunnel" that leads to the screw thread on the speaker.
