QUOTE(echoesian @ Aug 14 2010, 06:49 PM) Unfortunately, they do not carry this model anymore, the dealer went to buy from jalan pasar a front/back clip instead of left/right but it's not strong enough, worry it might drop. So, now they suggested to drill holes on the back of the speaker to mount it, will this affect the sound quality of the speaker? As long as there is no 'additional' hole for the sound to leak out, it should be good enough

Even if you drill holes at the back of the speaker, are you sure it will hold? Because those holes have no special threads, so I don't know how well the screws can hold on to the speaker back. Also if you drill next time the resale value might be affected.

Yes it is actually can hold it but not strong enough because of the speaker shape, it's curve at the front and not flat so the metal is only clipping on some portion of the front speaker only. Furthermore, I notice that there is a small dent on the back speaker liao because of the screw that tightening it. Is there any celotape that is strong enough to stick it to the metal?

Don't know about the cellotape.
Since you prefer the left/right type (like mine), maybe you have to hunt around more. Or import in from overseas.

3M double sided tape. Don't know when you tear it off, will it tear of the veneer too?

It's just held by friction. I tighten the clips adequately and it's been fine. The nice thing is that it comes with foam pads (to prevent scratches) which also help to improve the friction.

Thanks for the close up pics. I assume you have to drill the speaker bottom to attach the plate to it?

the bracket is designed for you to screw the speaker from bottom, thus attaching the bracket's plate to the speaker.
the lever can be adjusted to tilt the speaker up or down, while the plate mention just now allows you to toe the speaker in or out.
i'm not sure how heavy can it hold.

I think it also allow to screw the speaker from behind coz i have a pair similar one but with additional metal wire to hold the speaker & bracket juz in case never screw properly or the screw get lose....
