Hi sifu's.

Planning for my Onkyo HTS7705 (haven't taken delivery yet). I note that according to the online manual: http://www.intl.onkyo.com/downloads/manuals/pdf/htp-678_manual_etc.pdf ... the surround speakers have a "keyhole" mount only.

Does this mean that I can't buy or use any of the "threaded" type mounts? I got no choice but to hang the surrounds on the wall and no angle adjustment?
