Great product, but it is listed as pedestals and it is only one pedestal.
Thank you

Hi,
I received only ONE piece of the stand, I will be returning this on Jan 19th as I am currently out of town.
Comment:
You need to update the description. It's 1 (one) stand, not a pair,for that price. Please correct Pedestals to Pedestal. I had to order another one from JR'S.

Comment:
I should preface this review by saying that my issue is with Amazon and their reseller J&R Music and Computer World and not with the product itself. As of 1/13/09, the advertised price of the "Bose 901 Speaker Pedestals-Black" was $64.00. The $64.00 price is highlighted in red and shows to be a savings of 60% over the normal slashed price of $159.00. Shipping from J&R is $13.00. The item description under "Technical Details" clearly states "Pair of stands".I placed an order on 1/13. The shipping invoice from J&R was sent on 1/14 and states "sold individually". I imediately called Amazon to verify whether I should receive a single stand or a pair. Amazon immediately said its not their mistake and gave me the 800 number for J&R. A phone call to J&R also reveiled that it's not their mistake either. So, whose mistake is it exactly? Mine for ordering it in the first place apparently.
J&R did offer a small discount on a second stand so I will hopefully have two stands when all is said and done but as of 1/17/09, after pointing out the mistake to both parties, the advertised price still says $64.00 for a "pair of stands". Shame on you Amazon. Buyer Beware.
P.S. I like the stands.

Comment:
These stands are made up of rolled steel sheet and have welded reinforcements inside. Mine are made in Canada, yours may or may not. The design is very 70's and the base, while sufficient, isn't really wide enough to keep the top-heavy 901's from tipping over easily if you place them on thick carpeting. Routing wire through the stands takes some effort, and can be very difficult if you are using large gauge speaker wire. Attachment to the speakers is by four simple wood screws, and you have to remove the screws to get at the 901 wire mounting plate. The stands don't have any internal dampening or felt pads at the base. Vibration could be transmitted and sliding it around on a wood floor could damage your floor. Strangest of all, there's no access hole for the speaker wire to exit. Unless you drill your own, your wire will be crushed underneath the base. Probably not a big deal on carpet, but on hard floors its an omission that you will notice.
