Do these have any wobble at the base-to-pillar point? I have 18 lbs speakers and the Sanus NF wobbles because the base is not flush with the pillar!

I have not had any problems with it. The steel that meets the floor is 3/8" thick. I am also using the carpet spikes, but it doesn't need it. Great stands.

I would say yes, if your speakers are bigger than the base. My speakers are 15 lbs and sits just fine. Though, with any stands, the higher/taller the stands, you need the base bigger to compensate for the top weight. Plus, if you have kids in the house, no stand will hold the speaker when bumped into. Last, I have adjusted mine with carpenter bubble leveler to make sure it's level to my floor.

I haven't had any issues with stability. I only have some Polk Audio bookshelf speakers on it, but the spikes on the base work very well on carpet.

Are you referring to Bose Cubes? If so, these will hold them in the sense they will tolerate the speaker's weight. As for fastening them to the stand itself, you might need to take a trip to the hardware store. The provided brackets are weird, but for an extra $3.50 worth of nuts, bolts, and washers I was able to make them work with no issue. I would bring the bracket with you to the hardware store when you are looking for parts, that is, if you even have and issue at all, perhaps they will work without a problem at all. If you are using something much heavier than a Bose Cube, these stands are a little tipsy, and the extra weight might make them more prone to falling over. Are you referring to Bose Cubes?

The base is weighted and they are fairly stable, but depending on the weight of your speakers the baby might be able to tip them.

I would think could be used on a flat/smooth/rectangular bottom speaker stand sufficient in size - but I'd want to be darn sure they wouldn't vibrate off & that the base was secure. With the rubber feet on both ends of the Isos and a wide or heavy enough stand I doubt it. Especially if using a separate sub or the speakers used weren't that big (ie; not 12" LF drivers) So I think I'd be inclined to try it - but would just pay attention to the speakers once you started to push them just to be sure. I'm using a pair of Event 20/20BAS (8"LF) and a sub with mine. They don't budge.

I'm not completely sure, but I have 25 pound Bose speakers mounted to mine and it didn't cause any strain at all on the stands so I would think that they could handle at least twice as much weight, if not a bit more.

I ended up using these: Sanus SF30-B1 Steel Foundations 30-inch Speaker Stands (PAIR)They are plenty strong and sturdy. I used some adhesive putty to secure them to the top of the stand: Blu-Tack Reusable Adhesive 75g

I use these with the Polk audio owm3 speakers and they work fine. I haven't had any issue with the speakers slipping or moving after they are mounted. However if you are mounting on drywall and not hitting a stud I really recommend using good drywall anchors

Just installed with a pair of BS22s this evening. I used some Blu-tak to help hold the speakers to the base, and it seems to be holding just fine. I have them tilted as far downward as they will go, too.

Yes, they do. Also, I've found that if you put a piece of foam or rubber behind the lower part of the speakers, they don't touch the wall and produce no vibrations. :-)

I have Pioneer speakers on mine. They should be 8 lbs or heavier. They work very well for me.

I have polk tsi 200 speakers which are much larger than the base, I just centered the speaker on the base, and it worked out for me. It is still surprisingly secure even though the base is much smaller than the speaker base.

I have them paired up with a 12" CerwinVega. I think they hold their own. Great speakers.

It could be left a little loose to allow flexible swivel on the fly. I have them tightened fully since I don't want them to be moved, but I can't think of any reason they couldn't be left a little looser. However, do note that the angling downward of them will also be slightly adjustable/loose, since that bolt holds both positions in place; there's probably a "sweet spot" tighteness that you could find, though (also, if you are angling them the maximum amount downward like myself, the loose angle adjustment wouldn't really be a concern). One note/suggestion; if you plan on angling your speakers downward and they are of significant size, I'd go ahead and use the mounting screws included. I was hesitant to screw into the walls of the speaker, but they will very slowly slip out of their seat if you don't fasten them to the mount in some fashion (eventually falling out). I luckily caught mine slipping out before falling out and went ahead and used the screws. If you're keeping them mounted fairly level, the clamp and pads should easily suffice, as you can tighten the clamp/seat very tightly around the sides of the base of the speaker.

Like others have said, it's kind of awkward when putting them on their side. You could potentially use some rubber feet toward the front, and if put in the exact right spot, you could balance the speaker on those and where the middle curves out furthest (if that makes any sense). Ideally though, you want them upright.

I bought the SANUS SYSTEMS BF-31B Wood Speaker Stands for the fronts and the backs. They work fine as along as you do not have any kids running around. The front speakers as you know are very top heavy. I bought some Quakehold! 88111 Museum Putty and put it in all 4 corners on the stands just for a little reassurance. So far everything is working well. The stand have spikes on the bottom and little felt pads which are nice additions. Let me know what you end up doing.

I don't have specific knowledge of Energy Take speakers, but ours are Boston Accoustics which weigh 2.5 each and the stands work very well for us. We've never had an issue with tipping. I don't think the small weight difference would matter at all. We are very happy with our stand choice.Edited to add: All four of our stands are on carpet.
