Summary: SATP mounts well made and work perfectly
Review: Another reviewer decries that Vantage SATP mounts are made of plastic. What does that mean? "Any of various organic compounds produced by polymerization, capable of being molded, extruded, cast into various shapes and films..."
Throwing the term "plastic" around as if that means junk is ridiculous. "Plastic" by itself doesn't provide any information. Polymers can be extremely strong. These mounts are made of a high-strength polymer.
I have adjusted mine many times and never stripped anything. If you over torque anything you can strip it, regardless of it being metal or polymer, into metal, polymer, wood or some composite material. It is necessary and important to back off the set screw prior to adjusting, don't just try to force an adjustment if the set screw has been tightened. Loosen it then make the adjustment then re-tighten it. That's what set screws are for.
The SATP-B/S/W satellite speaker mounts have two holes for mounting on the wall and two holes for attaching to the speaker. They are rated up to 8 lbs. My Yamaha satellites attach perfectly to this product. It's like they were designed for each other. I have 6 SATP-B mounts in use for 3 years, and I am buying 4 more. (Also I installed at least 10 others in two conference rooms at an office building.)
These mounts are well made, precision adjustable with hex set screws (hex wrench provided in package). I can aim my speakers exactly the way I want them. I have a large open loft and speaker position/orientation is very important.
I wouldn't trust the SATP with an 8 pound speaker, but my 4 lb. Yamahas are well-mounted using this product.
No, I don't work for or have any affiliation with Vantage. I am just a consumer user of their SATP and BKSP speaker mounts.
I had to comment when I saw another review state that "they're plastic" as if that meant junk. Well that just isn't true. The SATP mounts are well made of a high-density, high-strength polymer and they work perfectly for the rated use. (I would upgrade to the BKSP steel mounts for heavy speakers. Again, my satellites are only 4 lbs.)

Summary: Had to return it!
Review: The mount is plastic, including the threaded screw holes! When I tried to aim the speaker and tighten it down, the plastic threads stripped out with very little torque. Luckily I'd bought it at a department store and promptly returned it.
