I am thinking of height (ceiling) speakers for expanding my 2008 era speaker setup to Atmos. I was looking at the EmotivaAirmotiv A1 Pair Atmos Reflective / Height Speakers vs the Airmotiv A2+ Pair Height / Surround / Ceiling Speaker. Looking at the manuals the Emotiva A2+ Easy-Secure mounting system looks better. However, I don't see any pictures on Emotiva or on a cursory Google search for images.
Any help with pictures or other thoughts? Thanks.
A1 $299/pair FR: 75 Hz - 28 kHz (+/- 3dB) Sens 85 dB Power: 60W cont, 120W peak 4 ohm Keyway mounting bracket Dim: 10" L x 6-1/8" W x 5-1/8" thick Weight: 7.5# A2+ $429/pair FR: 70 Hz - 28 kHz (+/- 3dB) Sens 85 dB Power: 80W cont, 150W peak 4 ohm Easy-Secure mounting system - solid steel bracket and mounting pins Dim: 12.5" H x 7" W x 8.5" thick Weight: 8.8#

I have one pair of A2+'s on top of front L/R speakers aimed up as Dolby atomos speakers. (now on acoustic foam pads) I'm contemplating placement using the bracket included. It is tricky because the flush mounting doesn't allow for speaker wire space -- unless a cutout in wall. I purchased some nylon spacer washers I was going to try. I'm not sure the mounting hole spacings are standarized for use with other mounts. I'll try to take some pictures as I have not seen any ceiling mounted photos of the A2+ speakers.

Thank you for the fast reply. I understand and is why I bought the A2+'s. I plan to add spacers -- this should be pointed out in manual, as you can't mount flush and have speaker wires get access -- for the middle top position speakers. For my front/top speakers it is less ideal. I'll try to take a picture top help demonstrate, so my original query still stands. Attachments:

Thinking about this -- roughly added notes on an older pic. Front top left and right attached by Yamaha mount to soffit and aimed at listening position. That would help get past the hanging ceiling diffusers (Rives Audio [2008 era] designed) -- 703 fiberglass on top, wood on bottom. Attachments:
