These exceeded my expectations. They're simple, well made, and not ugly. Plus they include a ton of different types of mounting hardware for maximum flexibility. It's not clear from the pictures and description, but it includes five complete sets of all the various mounting pieces. This includes concrete mounting inserts, two sizes of threaded mounts, keyhole-style mounts, two styles of ball joints (straight shaft or bent), and they even throw in two zip ties per mount. Caveat: 10lbs really is pushing the limit. My center channel speaker is about 9lbs and while the mount is working great for me, it's basically hanging straight down. If I wanted it in a tilted position, I'm not sure this would work since the ball joint clamp wouldn't be strong enough to hold it in position due to the weight of the speaker. On the other hand, my side channel speakers are 4lbs each and it can easily hold them in whatever position I want.

Energy Take Classic (~2.9 lbs) mounted directly into gang box coverplates: I originally bought the cheap plastic "10 lbs" rated ones that are sold under multiple brand names and quickly realized I had bought junk. Concerns about overtightening the set screws and damaging the plastic are valid. Plus if a set screw slipped it would come apart and drop your speaker. I'm not mounting expensive speakers, but they REALLY did not make me comfortable and I abandoned that completely. This product, the VideoSecu mounts, are the real deal and the right way to do it at a still cheap cost. Firstly, these are made of metal, smaller and have a very robust design for capturing and biting the pivoting ball. As a professional mechanical engineer, I approve! No need to go for anything more expensive than these, in my opinion, and the relatively cheap price is worth the confidence they give you. I quickly shifted my plan to mount directly into the wall plates of my pre-wired gang boxes - best decision ever. I aligned the top hole of the mount w/ the top hole of the wall plate and then marked and drilled a hole in the plate where the bottom mount hole fell. Then I drilled another hole about 1/2" below that for the speaker wire to pass through. To assemble, I put in a #10 (overkill but I had it) machine bolt w/ lock-washer and nut through the bottom mount hole and the first hole I drilled. Then, just threaded the speaker wire through the lower hole I drilled and installed the whole plate assembly on the gang box using the #8 x 1.25" screws that were present. The top screw secures the top of the mount and wall plate at the same time. Extremely please with the install, didn't spend >$100 on "wall plate specific mounts", and didn't booger up my walls. Love it.

Work great on my NHT superzeros. I rest the bottoms of them on the wall. They’re 6lb speakers and you can tighten the bracket enough to support them straight out barely. If your resting speakers, this will work with heavier speakers for sure, but I question if they could hold them straight upright.
