THE solution for pre-wired homes.
If you purchase a home that is pre-wired for surround, it may come with each speaker terminal mounted on a single-gang electrical box (or J-box) with a blank plate covering it. You can get any normal wall mount for your speakers, but most mounts do not mount on a J-box and you'll end up with a plate next to the mount. I wanted something cleaner and this mount does the trick. The plate itself is the mount.
This thing is pretty universal, and comes with screws and mounting options for various speakers. I installed my Sony satellites without a problem.
Using these mounts I kept my install clean.
It's also worth note that these can also be mounted directly into a stud or drywall, but these are a little pricier for that application and there are other options out there that do the job cheaper.
I'm absolutely satisfied with this purchase and would recommend them to anyone who has pre-wired surround installed with single-gang J-boxes.

Weight Capacity
The mount claims it can support up to 11 pounds when anchored to a stud. Technically that is true; however, although the mount itself will remain attached to the wall when a 10 pound speaker is used (which is what I have), the ball and socket joint that allows you to position the speaker lacks the ability to hold 10 pounds in the desired position. Regardless of how tight you set the screws in the socket joint, the weight of the speaker drags the joint downard, causing the speaker to be aimed at the floor.
I would definitely use this mount for a speaker in the 5 pound range, but the mount clearly is not strong enough to hold 10 pounds, nevermind live up to its 11 pound claim.
The best solution I could find - very pleased!
These mounts worked great for my rear surrounds. Very clean and elegant. I like how the speaker wire can feed through the plate, eliminating the need for a separate plate for speaker connection.
Each mount comes with plenty of hardware/extra parts for a variety of mounting possibilities. I had a lot of hardware left over. Also, each mount comes with an extra long allen wrench to make it easy to adjust the speaker angles once the speaker is mounted.
They are well made and very sturdy, with endless adjustment possibilities. I saw one review on here that said that they needed to add a lock washer on the backside of the plate to prevent the mounting post from turning - well, both of the mounts I bought came with lock washers, plus the threaded post that inserts through the plate has flat areas on both sides (in other words, it's "keyed"), so it's pretty much impossible for the mounting arm to twist or slip once fastened to the plate.
My home was not...
