 Inexpensive Speaker Stands for Inexpensive Speakers... November 14, 2008
It's a tough decision to make-- do I pay the outrageously expensive price for the speaker stands designed to go with my system, or do I buy these seemingly adequate, cheaper stands and hope everything works out?
I went with the latter option and wound up returning three sets of stands to Amazon. If you have small, relatively inexpensive speakers that won't cause you to cry should they crash to the ground, these speakers might suit your needs. The stands are a bit on the wobbly side, and the supporting rod is rather thin, so I wouldn't use them for speakers taller than 5 inches or heavier than 3.5 pounds. I found the "L" brackets designed to bolt the stand to the speakers to be too short as well (I believe they are about 4 or 5 inches tall). And I would never reccommend using the double-sided tape to affix the speakers to the stand under any circumstances!
Speaker stands seem to be a great way for speaker manufacturers to bleed some more money out of you-- I bought an Onkyo speaker set that seemed to be designed with the intent of forcing the consumer to spend and extra $130 for their proprietary stands. Consider wall-mounting your speakers if they are large or expensive!
 $30 something shipped? - Unreal price! November 12, 2008
What a bargain. Very well built and sturdy speaker stands. Out of all the options, this is the best deal. Don't hesitate!
And yes, this is for a set!

I like this product for the build quality and low price, but I have larger speakers so I didn't like that I had to drill the bottom of them to screw them on. Overall I would recommend these.

Product was much larger than expected in both base and support pole. I found that speaker mounting bracket was too large to fit my Bose speakers and the bracket stuck up approx 3 inches above the top of the speaker. It workd but just did not look professional. This unit is also designed for the cable to go inside of the support column so if your speakers have a connection other than just bare wires you have to mount cable outside of pole. One other quick note: Unit already had rust showing on base and around treaded areas. Will they work - Yes, are appealing to the eye, No.
Great Value. Sturdy Construction. Hardware Included. October 19, 2008
These speakers are the least expensive I could find anywhere. I paid $36.99 and shipping was Free with super saver discount (would have been $11.48). Everywhere else was $50/$70+ before shipping. Sturdy metal construction (cast iron perhaps?). Includes padded felt on bottom of stands to help protect floors. All needed screws were included. Easy to assemble. Should fit most speakers.
If I had to be picky, the finish on the stands is not what I expected, somewhat rough texture (not a big deal), mine came with a few white marks on the brand name sticker on the base, but it came off easily with a damp cloth.
Only down side...I had a set of really old sony rear surround speakers that had two horizontal screw holes, but the speaker stands are set up to attach to screws in the center. Easy fix though, I had to turn my speakers sideways to make it work.
Great Buy. Well worth the price. I would definately buy these again. Hope this helps your decision.
