Nakamichi Dragon Speaker Stands (Set of 2)

I would consider these stands to be essential if you are going to invest in the Dragon system. The surround speakers are designed specifically to be used with these stands, so you will make sacrifices if you go for another set of stands. And given how much you're investing in the Dragon, it won't make much sense to cut corners on the surround stands.The surround speakers are diesel. They are wide and heavy. They are substantive. These stands fit them perfectly, and they are incredibly sturdy. The bottom part of the stand is so heavy and well made that it would really take a concerted effort to knock the speaker over. I have a large dog and a couple curious bengal cats. I don't want to take any chances, and these speaker stands have withheld any and all collisions without so much as budging.They are very easy to assemble, and come well packed. There are clear instructions online, and there's a video too. And the stands come with a paper user guide that clearly outlines how to assemble them. Just make sure you fit the edge of the poles with the slightly smaller notch into the bottom part of the stands. When I first assembled the stands, I accidentally fit the larger notch side onto the bottom piece. When it came time to run the cord up and out from under the top part of the stand, I realized the notch was too small, and had to unscrew the top pieces, and reverse the poles.One reason I'd strongly recommend these stands, is that the performance of the system is significantly better with the speakers placed to the sides of the listening area. These stands are the exact perfect height at which to listen to the surround speakers when seated. I've tested the same content with the speakers placed behind me, and they just do not rock the way they do when they are placed to the side of my listening position.Getting the stands allows you to place the speakers exactly where you get the best sound from them. If you wall mount the speakers, you will not have the flexibility of moving them to the point in your room where you experience the best performance. And getting cheaper, less sturdy stands runs you the risk of the speakers getting knocked over. There's also high risk of rattle if you get cheap stands. These surround speakers truly rock, and cheap stands won't do them justice.

What else is there to say, the headline says it all -- Everything Nakamichi does with the Dragon name, is simply the BEST! Really, these things are HEAVY, SOLID, BEAUTIFUL, and complement my full 11.6.6 Theater system by allowing me to position the rear surrounds wherever I want depending on how full my little theater is -- that is, when it's just the two of us, we place them nearer to where we sit. But when my college sons and/or dates and buddies are there, we put them in the back of the room. Also bought the wall mounts, but have set them aside because these are so much better! If you are debating between these or the wall mounts, get these -- they are SO WORTH the additional cost!!!-- Dr. P

These are the real deal for the Nakamichi Dragon. I wanted the best sound and didn't want to skimp out on the stands. The only stand befitting the king of sound if you ask me.

Excellent well made.

Extremely stable, easy to use, perfect height!

Bought the speaker stands for my Dragon system and couldn't be happier. A sleek clean look that will compliment any room.

Well made metal stands designed specifically for the Nakamichi Dragon surround speakers. They're the right height and super durable. Pick them up of you don't want to drill into your walls.

These Dragon 11.4.6 surround speaker stands are outstanding! They are pretty heavy which is helpful on carpet. You won't be disappointed.
