I have two athena asf-2's that I want to mount to my side wall for surrounds. they weigh 14lbs each.

Sorry to correct you but I think you mean AS-B2s. The asf-2s are fairly large floorstanders and weigh a lot more than 14lbs.
If you're like me and you dont want to drill into your speakers then Athena has its own bracket the SWB-1 . Another good option would be theBT-77 Ultra Grip . If you are willing to drill into your speakers you can save a lot more. The BT-77 can be had for about $55 if you look around. I'd suggest the swb-1 if you can find it, it's cheaper and is the suggested component from your speaker manufacturer. If you are willing to drill into the speaker look up omnimount.com and btech-usa.com and others to find athe right mount for you. Good luck

Just mounted my AS-B2's this weeked

I used the BT-77 mount, it's a quality mount made of almost all metal, can hold a 55 lb. speaker, but it only swiveles up / down 7 degrees, you need to consider this. You can move it side to side all you want, only the tilt is limited. The say screw it in if you are tilting it down but I did not, it uses a large screw for a "worm gear" allowing you to tighten it down really good. Do a search, I got mine for $59, that was a cheap as I found it for.

The other mount was hard to find and it appears to grab the front and back of the speaker vs. the sides like the B-77, I think it's used for side-wall mounting only. I was quoted $40 to $79 for this mount; if you get it let us know how it works out.
