Heavy Center Channel Wall Mount

So I just got a center channel (finally), and it weighs 25 lbs. I have my 37" lcd wall-mounted, and I need to do a wall-mount for my center channel (preferably right above the TV). It is a very nice center channel, and has no hardware (recessed bolt holes or anything like that), so I need it on some kind of clamp/harness system so that the channel will be securely held, but the speaker won't be drilled into or otherwise modified. I would also like to be angle it downward since it will then be about a foot from the ceiling. I can't find anything, and I would rather have something a little more secure than a bookshelf (not very secure) as I sleep right below the speaker and TV (I live on the edge in a small studio apt.). The speaker is 22" x 10" x 8" (no ports). Thanks in advance, I want this thing set up ASAP!

There are a number of websites that sell these types of mounts and shelves. Not allowed to write actual full website addresses on this forum so I'll offer the following:

avmountsonline
standsandmounts
racksandstands
omnimount

You could also try your local Circuit City.

I used a swivel tv mount for my center. It worked superbly. It had 5 bolts for the wall to secure it - and aa strap down so that the speaker did not vibrate back and forth so as to damage the bottom's finish. I've since changed things around & it's just sitting in a box, but it was superb at the time.

I agree with Pdn.

I have used Omnimount with great success...there are versions with lag bolts that can screw into wooden studs...this can easily hold your center channel. Omnimount design stuff for speakers weighing up to several 100's of pounds...

I went to all those websites, and none of them have what I'm talking about. Omnimount does have some neat stuff, but still, nothing that works for me. Nothing even close. I don't want to have to build something!
