Beautiful mounting.
Questions if I may:
1. Did you mount it on drywall? And did you put one side of the legs into a STUD? The way it is spaced, at best, only two of the four contact points can be in a stud. And given that the mount and Phantom probably approached 30 lbs or 14 kg, that's a lot of torque on the drywall without studs. And if it falls, that's a super expensive proposition.
2. What about audio quality? Almost always in my experience, speakers sound best when pull away from rear and side wall. It brings better balance, sound stage width and depth among other things. And the more bass a speaker produces, I've found this to be all the more true. How does htis compare if any of you had originally placed it towards the room with a stand?
3. If you want to remove the unit for travel from the wall, how quickly and easily can you just remove it from Gecko so that the Gecko stays on the wall and the Phantom comes down?
I LOVE how this is out of the way!! Beautiful. And of course, guests will be stunned by the audio produced.
Thanks!
