Hi everyone, I have been tempted to go the Dolby Atmos route for a while now and I decided on the receiver to use: Onky RZ-50, but now my problem is that I have to mount 2 sets of speakers to my ceiling. I have 3 pairs of Elac Unifi 2.0: two front, two sides and (at the moment) 2 backs. The backs will be shifted to be atmos back speakers. So I am going for a 5.1.4 setup.

Now I am thinking about shifting my fronts to be the atmos fronts and buy the new Elac Debut 3.0s as the new front speakers. However the Unifi 2.0s are quite big and heavy, so I am not sure if there is a reasonable way to mount them to the ceiling without worrying that they fall on your head. Because of that I am thinking about buying the Micca RB42s for the front atmos which are a lot smaller and lighter.

I found this mount by k&m which claims to hold up to 25kg but as it would screw in the back of the speaker I am worried about the wood of the Unifi 2.0s to just split, as the speaker is very long…

What are your thought?

    Use a small drill bit and pre-drill the wood. Just a little smaller than the screws so they’ll bite.

    Hang them with toggle bolts.

      I am not worried about the wood splitting when drilling into them, but just the would not holding all of the weight

      I am living in Germany, so I have actually pretty tough walls and ceilings. Drilling into it will be quite a bit of work
