B1 Wall Bracket

Very stable mount for my KEF LSX II. Allows horizontal and vertical tilt. Allows wires to be routed through the wall. Looks classy. Highly recommend.

Easy to install. Robust, well designed, attractive and minimalist. Probably the best conceivable way to wallmount KEF LSX or LSX2 speakers. Not cheap. Neither were the speakers, for that matter. But I don't regret being either my LSX-2s or these great wallmounts for them, not at all.

My 3-star rating is based on KEF’s wall speaker bracket, IMO, not having the ability to toe inward, tilt to desired angle and remain vertically perpendicular (I think I’m explaining that right?). Other than that everything else is great. The bracket does allow you to rotate the speaker to toe it inward to create the audio speaker listener triangle we all try to achieve. However, when you tilt the speaker to fire the tweeter/drivers toward your ears in a seated position, the speakers are not perpendicular and to me they look like they’re falling and crooked. Maybe it’s me being OCD about that kind of stuff and KEF probably designed it that way for an audio engineering reason, but I wish I could adjust them to still appear straight up and down after toe in and tilt adjustment. Other than that (sorry for the long explanation), the bracket is a very nice looking piece of hardware made of aluminum. It kind of comes with IKEA style instructions (LOL) on the box flap, but install was fairly easy and intuitive. The brackets came with some screws and drywall anchors but appeared to be for lightweight install. The KEF LSX I believe is spec’d at 7lbs, but it felt heavier than that when I held the bracket up to the wall (not screwed into wall yet) with the speaker attached. Based on that I decided to screw at least 2-screws (inline vertically) to a wall stud. It just felt like the provided wall anchors or even if I upgraded to a heftier anchor, would not work and these expensive KEF speakers would eventually fall off of the wall! So finding the studs were easy, but tricky part was screwing into the stud just right. If not, the stud would block the wire management hole in the bracket. After figuring all that out and allowing enough room to drill hole in the wall for the wires and clearing the studs it was a breeze. I love the wire management system with the rubber gasket that you need to cut crosshair into so you can push the wires through it and into the wall. As you can see from my photos, I got at least 4-wires attached to the speaker and going thru that rubber gasket. IMO it looks clean and simple and almost unnoticeable. The wire management and look of the bracket are it’s redeeming features. Like I said, a little tweak to the adjustment options would be nice. I probably would not buy this again.

Die KEF LSX Boxen sind nicht für Mesh Empfang geeignet. Daher musste ich die Boxen zurückschicken. Leider war diese Information nicht in Ihrer Beschreibung der Boxen zu finden. Die Wandhalter dazu habe ich daher nicht benötigt und die Sendung nicht erst abgeholt. Wäre der Hinweis in Ihrer Produktbeschreibung enthalten gewesen, hatte ich mir die Operation sparen können.

Lässt sich nicht einrichten, usw. Boxen sollte man einfach einstöpseln und gut ist. Das funktioniert bei diesen Mist nicht mal. Ps. Nach unendlicher Fuffellei habe ich die Dinger doch noch zum Laufen gebracht. Für einen technischen Laien nicht zu bewältigen.

Not at all a cheap set of speaker mounts lets be honest, for a little bit of metal. But they do work well and what you expect so no issues. Mounting is relatively easy and there is a grey tab on the backplate you can pull off so if you have a hole in the wall for example, can put wires right through that into the wall which is a nice touch for a clean look. Aside from that is what you expect. The design is nice, it makes the speakers almost float as you cannot see much of a stand, but as I say, you pay a premium.
