Product Description
Give your satellite speakers a sleek, contemporary foundation while also improving their audio performance with these Sanus adjustable speaker stands. Boasting a European-style profile and a durable powder-coated black finish, the stands suspend your home theater speakers at the ideal listening height--from 28 to 42 inches depending on the height of your chairs or couch--letting you sit back and enjoy the full splendor of your surround sound system. Each stand also features a cast-iron base engineered for solid support, along with your choice of premium adjustable floor spikes or custom screw-in rubber feet to provide stability and minimum resonance on any floor surface. Meanwhile, the steel top plate includes custom speaker isolation pads to further enhance the sound quality. A further bonus stems from the stands' concealed wire path, which hides your speaker cable from view to improve the room's overall aesthetics. The stands fit most satellite speakers weighing 10 pounds or less. Some assembly is required, though it takes just a few minutes using a Phillips screwdriver. The stands are also backed by a five-year warranty. What's in the Box
Two high-mass base plates, two adjustable-height pillars, two medium top plates, two small top plates, two L-shaped speaker brackets, two Klipsch Quintent brackets, two Klipsch RS brackets, two threaded stud mounts, six pad feet and six carpet spikes, eight speaker isolation pads, assembly hardware, user's manual.

These stands fit the Klipsch Quintet
|
Comment:
You take the bottom of the speaker off with the alan wrench. There is only one bottom sent with the speakers that will fit. But it does, they are heavy enough and work great. I am awaiting my second pair.

Work great for Polk Audio RM8 Speakers
|
Comment:
Since I could not find any information on this when I was looking, I wanted to let people know that these stands work great with the Polk Audio RM8 satellite speakers, no customization needed. No need to spend $150 of more on their proprietary stands. These are great stands with a heavy base to help prevent them from being knocked over as well. I did not have too much trouble feeding the wires through but did need a thin pair of needle nose pliers to get the wire end out.

...a match for for Klipsch Quintet III
|
Comment:
The only other stands I could find for the Quintet III's was
the Omnimount Sat2 that are nearly impossible to find in stock. And if you do find them they are right around 100 bucks a pair. I bought 2 pair of the Sanus for a 100 bucks and they work great. My only suggestion would be to try and set them in a low traffic area, because if they are bumped, being kind of top heavy (with the klipsch's) will end up toppled on the floor. Also, use the spikes on carpeting for a good grip.

Works with Onkyo HTIB speakers
|
Comment:
I spent some time trying to find speaker stands that would be compatible with my Onkyo HTS-6100 HTIB system. Alot of stands are made for smaller speakers, making them unstable for the heavier Onkyo speakers.
I used the included L brackets in the box. I had to use nuts, bolts, and washers from my collection at home to make this work, as the included ones weren't the right size to work with the speakers. But, it can be done and looks good.

Flimsy, Tip Over Easily
|
Comment:
While attractively inexpensive, these speaker stands are not suited for anything other than the smallest speakers and the smallest budget. I've owned these stands for only a little over a month and already one of them has been knocked over twice, resulting in a busted speaker.
Upon opening the box, I found hardware to suit a great deal of speaker choices, including my Klipsch RX5's. There is also hardware for my Klipsch bookshelf set. The instructions clearly indicated that both speakers were "compatible". However, in practise these stands cannot support the weight of these larger speakers and are VERY top-heavy after assembly.
The problem is twofold: 1) The base has almost no weight whatsoever, offering no counterbalancing. 2) The stands are so flimsy that the tube leans slightly on the base, even when fully tightened. This puts the centre of gravity too far outside the base.
For the RX5's, this didn't seem to be a problem at first because the speakers are set evenly over the tube, so the leaning effect was mild. However after mounting the bookshelf speakers the centre of gravity is so far forward that the stands wobble and fall over immediately under the weight of the speakers alone.
The RX5 mounts stayed upright until a few days ago, when my dog brushed against one of them and sent it toppling. The speaker was ruined as it hit the floor and will need to be replaced. I feel as though i need to point out that the dog only nudged the stand, it didn't take much force at all to send my speaker to its grave. Since then I've yet to remove the speaker and stand (for aesthetic purposes until I get a new one) and it has since fallen again- this time because the first crash loosened the tube from the base even more, which makes the contraption even more wobbly.
I gave the product two stars instead of one because this product might work well for someone with ultra-compact speakers, the kind that are only about six inches tall. If you have this kind of extremely small and lightweight speakers you will probably be happy with these stands. However, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone who has larger speakers, a child, a dog, a cat, a rabbit, a mouse, or anything else that might disturb the stand at all.
