Speaker Stands for heavy floorstanding speakers

Quite obviously this is not the case. Why is it that it took you four months to respond to your own thread and then only to be a jerk?:rolleyes: Go get yourself a cheap pair of metal shop stools and then get lost. :bs:

relax darkblue94. I misunderstood the reply post. you have a great night.
 
I have these stands. I can't remember the brand off the top of my head. Picked them up in a package deal with a few receivers so I roughly paid $40 for the pair. Came with knurled up carpet spikes. They look tall because I snapped the pic from a low angle but the top Plat measures around ~18".
 
Check out Sound Amchors too. They often show up second hand, just have the measurements of your speakers to compare with the top plate dimensions of the stands you may come across. Height too, you don’t want them in the ceiling. Try the marts, audiogon and the ‘Bay.
 
Here's the steel stands I had my co-worker make for my AR3's. My wife actually likes their current look. I was going to paint them satin black, but for now, they stay this way! There's steel rods welded inside each piece, they weigh a ton!

I don't think he is the one being a jerk in this case.

Very good sir. The suggested Sound Anchor stands are supposed to be good too, but unlike Skylan I've no personal experience with them.

Cinder Blocks. Can hold 400 lbs and they don't resonate. The largest ones are 10" X 12" X 16" ....

That's a great idea, was looking for stands for my big ADS L620's. Off to home depot tomorrow. I need to figure a way for a slight tilt.
 
To clarify what I posted earlier, if a speaker is meant to be placed on the floor then it's a floorstander/tower speaker.
Speakers with built in stands included.

If a speaker needs to be placed on stands then it's a stand mount/bookshelf speaker. Even if the stands are 6 inches tall.

Back in the day some rather big-ish speakers were called bookshelf speaker.
My Infinity RSM's were in that group.

But like I mentioned, maybe it's just me.

And don't get me started on vinyls and "sub woofers".

So those Vandersteens are bookshelf speakers?

Yes. No. Maybe.
Could be. Might not be.


But seriously, I'd consider them floorstanders.


Back on topic, I consider the OP's to be stand mounts and not floor standers.

Better clear coat them before they rust.
