Mounting Dream Black Alloy Steel Speaker Stands, Height Adjustable Bookshelf Speaker Stand Pair, Universal Fit, 11 lbs Capacity, Set of 2 for Bose Polk JBL Sony Yamaha - 42" Max Height

Excellent rear speaker stands. Quality material, sturdy, easy assembly, stable, stylish design, flexible positioning, hidden wiring feature, adaptable base for standing on hard flooring or carpet, well priced. Highly recommend.

Assembly requires lining up threaded holes in the interior pipe with unthreaded holes in larger outer pipe and using the hex wrench to screw the pipes together. Typical but a bit fiddly for me 'ol hands. Also black-on-black hard to see. Better would be a slot in the outer pipe and ready-set bolts sticking out from the inner which slide into the slot and are tightened with a strong wingnut. No fiddly tool needed. Same for the upper connection which is slightly but not fatally out of align likely due to the crimping of the inner pipe which inevitable shortens it by a 1/16th inch or so. As the threaded holes were likely set in prior to crimping, this moves them down a tad versus the outer pipe holes which were punched with a certain alignment that is not there after crimping. Net: slight misalignment not fatal but do not expect the holes to be properly centered. Just push real hard on the top pipe to encourage alignment as best you can. Back speaker support bracket adjusts horizontally and vertically. High enough for my Polks and design permits wires from wire posts to pass through unobstructed. This is a very clever, unique, successful design. So we now have 2 very strong and satisfactory speaker posts. Well worth the money. Might spray white Rustoleum on them to blend with the wall and replace speaker fabric with white available right here on AMZN. Then we would have something truly superb. Net: these posts are very good. Buy them, say we.

I absolutely love these speaker stands for my Sony HT-A9. I bought them for the surround speakers as I was using a pair of night tables as stands. I will list all the pros and cons on this review used with Sony HT-A9 speaker system.Pros:1. Assembly is easy. Instructions are clear and provide step by step with detailed pictures on how to assemble each part. Even the screws are separated based on function and labeled.2. All parts except for the tightening screw and feet are made of metal, making these stands very sturdy. Once you have everything tightened down, your speakers become one with the stand.3. The adjusting tube (speaker base) is 360 rotatable, meaning you can point the speakers towards your main listening position if your speakers require a little toe-in.4. The speaker’s feet (shown in photos) all fit on the speaker base without having to adjust anything.5. The speaker attachment unit and adjusting tube base line up perfectly and centered on the back of the speakers (thanks to the flat design on the back of the speakers).Cons:1. The provided screws unfortunately did not fit the speaker screws on the HT-A9. I had to use the key hole bolt for mounting the speakers to the speaker attachment.2. If using for Sony HT-A9, you may need to disassemble the speaker attachment unit and turn it upside down for better cable management (shown in photos).In conclusion, these stands can be used perfectly with Sony HT-A9. With minor assembly adjustments, it can be made to fit this speaker system partly due to the speaker’s design. I will definitely buy another pair for my fronts in due time.

I got two sets of stands (4 units), added a few silicone pads and Velcro cables ties via Amazon, and now have perfect mounts for the four Quad speakers. The stands are high quality, easy to assemble and versatile.Mounting Dream MD5042-2 speaker stands can be a good solution for mounting Sony Bravia Theatre Quad speakers. Cost is now about $80 for two stands; I got two sets via Amazon and added a couple items to get the kind of mounting I wanted.The stands allow for multiple mounting approaches, but the Quads are of unusual design, so I added two items below for mounting the Quads (I mounted the Quads with their Sony table-stands attached):1. Rubber mounting pads: Hudson Hi-Fi 1" Platinum Silicone Isolation Dot, Non-Skid Isolation Feet - With adhesive back - 20 Duro - 16 Pack (via Amazon, $18). Stick four dots on top plate of each stand to support the Quad-stands (align dots with edge of mounting plate).2. Cable ties: VELCRO Brand ECO Collection | 5 Inch Small Straps for Cords | Reusable Cable Ties | 3/8" Wide, Black, 50 Pac (also from Amazon, about $12). Thread 4 cables ties through the four, 4mm slots in the speaker mounting plate and tighten to secure the speakers on top of the isolation dots. Make sure you’ve installed power cord before mounting speaker.The Mounting Dream speaker height is adjustable and the plastic base-feet are adjustable to correct for uneven floors. The base is “domed” so excess speaker power cord can be coiled and hidden under the base plate. The speaker power cord is hidden inside the support tube.One needs to pull the speaker-end of power cord up through vertical support tube (internal structure of tube prevents gravity feed of speaker-end of power cord). I used an electrician’s fish-tape wire-puller. Something like an undone wire coat hanger would also work.I used twist-ties (from plastic food bags) to temporarily attach the power cord to the fish tape for the pull-thru.Note that the Mounting Dream speaker mounting plate is barely large enough to accommodate the Sony-stand, so use care in aligning silicone dots and speaker base.The isolation dots should align with edge of the mounting plate. You won’t need the MD5042“Speaker Attachment Unit” using the mounting approach described here (you’d only need this if using back-of-speaker mounting hole … a whole different, off-centerline mounting method).

It was fairly easy to assemble and came with all the needed parts. I looked at other speaker stands that gripped the bottom of the speakers with spring-held clamping mechanisms that did not seem secure at all!This stand securely holds onto the speakers with bolts. The speakers will not slide off. They are a perfect fit for my Polk ES-10 satellite speakers. My speakers are about 6 lbs. Perfect fit. They are also fairly sturdy stands.

Quality Built, easy to assemble. Sturdy. Rear speakers of Samsung HW-Q930D soundbar fit very well and secure! Highly recommended item for rear speakers.
