Speaker Stands

A very well made stand, texture coated in what appears to be a very durable finish. Stand comes with carpet spikes and isolation disks for hardwood floors. Stand angles speaker up just slightly which at my 9 food viewing distance is great for ensuring the speaker is pointed at your head instead of your feet. Center post can be filled with sand. I didnt give this stand a 5 only because I don't have experience with lots of other similar products. This is a very heavy duty speaker stand and for the money I was very happy with my purchase. Assembly tip. Put the unit together but dont tighten itcompletely. Lay the stand on its side so that the flat part of the base and the front edge of the top both rest on a flat surface. This way you know both are even and pointed the same way. Now tighten them up."..."  Read more

I love this stand. Some people complained about a problem with the threads, but I did not experience that at all -- just be careful when you put the screws in. Start threading them in by hand and ensure they're not cross threaded before you put torque on them with a screw driver. Anyway, great stand for the money. It has spikes as feet that can be adjusted to level the stand if your floors aren't perfect, as well as optional ones on the top that screw in and are intended to rest the speaker on. This stand was perfect for placing my 9" tall center channel under my wall-mounted 55" plasma. The short height is perfect for being able to mount the tv at eye level so my neck doesn't hurt after watching a movie. One star knocked off because the top is not angled, and I don't want my speaker pointed at my knees. Not a serious problem, though. Either put something under the front of the speaker to prop it up (I cut wine corks to the height I needed and put them on the front corners of the stand), or you could buy some machine screws and nuts at a hardware store and put them in the threaded holes the top spikes are supposed to go in and use those to adjust the angle of the speaker."..."  Read more

Easy to assemble, heavyweight / heavyduty. Sticky pads make it hard to adjust speaker on stand - Make sure speaker is aligned to the stand speaker placement plate from the speaker's side or bottom then rotate the speaker and stand together back to the upright position"..."  Read more

Upon constructing the stand, I found that it has good weight to it, the spikes help couple the stand to my carpeted floor very nicely, and the cable management is great, even with my dual 8 gauge speaker wire for my center channel and mains. It would be nice if the base was veneered in the same cherry as the verticals, but it's not a big issue. I am looking at using the same natural Foundations line of stands for my surrounds next to the couch, and their (Sanus') 36U Foundations rack for my A/V gear."..."  Read more
