Atlantic Bookshelf Speaker Stands - Steel Construction, Pedestal Style & Built-in Wire Management, Support Bookshelf-Style Speakers up to 20 lbs. PN 77335799 - Black 2-Pack

Overall, I went with these speaker stands, because they were the best deal on Amazon for a set. Atlantic is a good brand, and I also liked that the upright steel piece is one solid piece.The stands arrived this morning and the instructions were so easy to follow. All parts are in separately labeled bags, and you only need a philips head screwdriver to assemble. The instructions were clear and left no room for error. The best part of putting the screws in is that they are going into metal threaded holes, so you're not wrenching around trying to get screws into wood and wrecking the screw and your hand. This would also open the door for future disassembly/reassembly if needed. That's very nice.The spikes on the base are wonderful on the carpet for stability, but they are not wonderful for luxury vinyl flooring. They probably wouldn't hurt something as hard as wood - but they would definitely leave impressions in your luxury vinyl tile which has some flex to it. Unfortunately, my room has luxury vinyl tile where I placed one of the stands, and I needed to figure out a way to protect my floor that didn't look bad and also would stop the sharp cones from punching through. Ironically, I had some samples of LVT with cork backing in my storage room from when I ordered the LVT floor. I cut a piece to fit neatly underneath the base, and the spikes sit on it instead of directly on my installed floor. Over time, I'll be able to see what it does to the LVT sample with the weight of the speaker on the stand and make a judgement as to whether to put it directly on the floor or leave the LVT sample square underneath. I've got a feeling it will leave marks. In the meantime, I couldn't have had a better base for it!What kept me from quickly making the decision to buy these stands was the hokey fake carbon fiber base. I used to work for a company that made actual open weave carbon fiber, so I was feeling snobby - and also didn't feel like my decor was really open weave carbon fiber decor. I have a more fresh farmhouse look. In the end, I figured you really wouldn't see the bases, and I could disguise them if necessary. I don't really notice the finish now that they are in place. I will say, that the photos on amazon make the base look like it is patchy - but the carbon fiber finish is seamless and looks much nicer in person. It has a texture to it and isn't glossy.The stands come with spikes to rest your speakers on or adhesive. I feel like both would damage the finish on my new wooden Klipsch R-M51 speakers, but I opted for the 3M stickers provided. They are small triangles and are applied to each of the corners of the metal base. There's always goo gone should I need to remove adhesive later, and it would be on the bottom of my speaker, so that's not so awful. I do feel like some antiskid material would give almost the same protection. If the towers go down, the 3M stickers aren't going to hold my speaker to the stand. So I'd recommend to the manufacturer to find a pad that can be stuck to the plate that's anti skid on the top (like shelf liner, etc). That could even be put in place at the factory and leave room for the holes for the spikes. The spikes would easily be taller than an anti-skid pad, so if someone wanted to use the spikes, having the anti-skid material preinstalled wouldn't cause a problem. The spikes fit loosely into the holes and are easily removed/installed. I will also add that the size of the speaker shelf at the top was excellent and larger than the other stands I viewed. I like that, as my speakers aren't lightweight and are decently sized for bookshelf speakers. The larger the support, the better, in my opinion.The speaker shelf is also designed to rotate to 45 degrees to the left or right - or they can be placed square straight ahead. The top fits into the pole and is secured with one screw that secures it in the direction in which you prefer. Again, this is easily adjustable should you move the speaker or change your mind. I love this feature, and it made these more functional for my space.Overall, I love having both my speakers at the same height; it improved the sound. These would make perfect stands for the front speakers of a surround system, but I'm just using them for a component stereo system and music. They're the perfect height for my speakers to sit at head-level when seated.The stands are sturdy, designed well, easy to assemble, and stable on both my carpet and hard surface. I have heavy-ish speakers on them, and I feel confident they are a safe base for them. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and highly recommend these stands to anyone looking. I was quite impressed!

Perfect fit for my speakers 🔊

I got mine from Amazon renewed but they were indistinguishable from new. Three sets of instructions included French and Spanish versions. The plastic spikes for the base of the stands were loose in the holes and would fall out. I put a square of electrical tape over each hole and pushed the spikes through them and it provided enough friction for the spikes to stay in long enough to carry them around but they would easily be removed without hand tools. I was able to use the metal spikes instead of the foam rubber pads for the speaker base with my Micca MB42X. The height is just perfect to flank a 55" TV at the end of a King sized bed.

im not gonna lie, i figured these were probably cheap stands which was fine i was using them for my Daughters surround speakers behind her couch so no big deal. however, when i got them the first thing i noticed was how heavy they were. these things are very well made, easy to assemble and work perfect to sit bookshelf and smaller sized speakers on. these things would also be perfect for just a two channel bookshelf speaker system. so glad i purchased these. i highly recommend them.

Does the job. When I was looking around for speaker stands I was surprised how expensive they were and how limited the options are for budget stands that could actually hold speakers that weighed more than an piece of paper. I really didnt want to pay more than like 30 bucks per stand but after looking around for a while looking at adjustable height options I kept coming back to these simply because of the price, they were the height I needed and could hold my 15 pound bookshelf speakers. I got 4 of them for my surround system. Easy to assemble. Was confused about the rubber o ring and whether it needed to go above or below the bottom plate but I think I put it in the right spot between the two bottom pieces. Wish the instructions would have clarified that better. I was also worried about using these stands on my hard floor because other people were saying they use metal spikes for the bottom and they were right so I bought a pack of felt pads and stacked them 3 layers high to get the height I needed to clear the bottom and leave room for wires as you can see in my pics. Works great on my hard floors. They really should include thick felt pads in the box to use instead of the metal spikes. The felt pads are an absolute must if you're planning on using these stands on hard floors. I used gorilla double sided tape to stick my speakers to the stands and they are stuck on there good now. Another thing I noticed was the platform at top of the stands weren't all 100% even with each other. Some were rotated a few degrees off axis which seems to be a quality issue with where the holes are predrilled. Wish I took a pick when I had the assembled and lined up. So if you attached your speakers and lined them all up some would be rotated slightly and uneven. So it would be best to get the stands in position and line up your speakers before attaching them permanently. But in the end it didnt bother me anyway as my speakers overhang the platform due to their size and I lined them up before attaching them to the stand. The quality of the stands themselves seems to be well made and sturdy. They aren't wobbly and stand up pretty well. Overall happy with the purchase. Wish they were cheaper tho

I am not even using these for speakers but to mount a raffle box to the top. The connection between the top plate and post is very poor and the most important part of the stand imo. I can likely rig a tighter connection with some type of wrapping material. OK if you are handy! The rubber washer was a bit perplexing!

The Atlantic stands were easy to assemble and came packaged nicely not to damage them. The stands are lightweight but very sturdy. I use them for my Jamo S803s and have no problem at all. Overall, they have a really good look at an affordable price. I'm a fan.
