+A tilt-adjustable loudspeaker wall mount (B-Tech BT-style): a wall plate that
+bolts to the wall, an arm that stands the speaker off the wall, and a
+speaker-side plate held at a set tilt angle, with fixing holes. An optional
+gusset reinforces the arm/wall joint. Modelled as one connected bracket at a
+fixed tilt position. The wall is the Y-Z plane at x=0; the arm reaches out +X.
