You need to be more specific. Will you be sitting on the floor when listening to music? Is your computer going to be on the floor as well?

How big is the room, its shape and what else is there that will bounce the sound around? Can they be hung?

The subwoofer goes on the floor, preferably on an isolator. The tweeter and midrange are on a stand/stalk about 6" high. These are near field speakers, totally exceptional ones, but only for near field. High frequencies are quite directional. One beauty of the Focal design is that they sit on the desktop and the tweeters are aimed at one's ears. If they are well below your ears, they cannot help but be aimed behind you, so you will miss the high frequencies. Missing the high frequencies means you could probably get by with much cheaper speakers of lower quality. As alternative, you could sit them on a sconce like horizontal shelf mounted on the wall.

You can put in carpet safely. I have put it all the time in Wood floor and it will give extra bass. Speakers are not that powerful for a big room. I am using only it for Surround sound and front I have floor standing speakers

I think it is no problem at all. The foam can bear any kind of heavy speakers.

Should be OK if filled with sand ballast. With speakers on top they could be top heavy but the stand is solid and well balanced.

Yes, as long as your floor is fairly level you should have no problems. The base of the shelf is the widest point of the unit, making a free standing system possible.

As long as you have enough clearance for your ears or a space made for the speakers to go into, you should be fine.

I have installed the center speaker horizontally and side speakers vertically. There are adjustable twitters on the, so you can position those correctly to the center of your room. Hope that helps.

The top mounting shelf is stationary. A slight tilt would be possible with the small pads provided to protect the speakers from scratching, vibrating off, etc.

Hello N. Eng,For free-standing mounts, like this one, there are not any balance problems as long as the monitors are not pulled really far forward. I would say up to 30 degrees would be fine. If the monitors do need to be pulled forward more, then I would recommend you take advantage of our bolt to desk option.Thanks for your question.Taylor W.VIVO

Not familiar with your speakers but would be concerned if the speakers are more than an inch wider than the platform.

Shouldn't be a problem. You might want to experiment with tweeters facing in or out to achieve the best sound possible. Space between the speakers will determine that.

I didn't, but my speakers are not so large as to seem unstable on the stands. Also, drilling into the speaker cabinets may effect their integrity, and sound quality. If I was worried about them tipping off the stands, I would get larger stands that offer a wider stance thus greater stability.

Yes, of course. The wire is quite thick relative to the speakers, so they compel you to place the speakers on their sides. Some people appear confused by this, but in reality it is not a problem. The only real limitation with these speakers is the volume, which really isn't very strong.

It should be fine. I have two speakers that are about the same size and weight. Careful lifting the speakers up to the stand as one side will be very heavy until the other one balances out. The frame itself is very sturdy and will hold the weight just fine. Just getting them both on is a bit tricky at first.

In my opinion the top base of stand is too small to hold them unless you managed to screw the speakers onto the top base. The bottom should support if you could keep the speakers from falling off the top

Yes, I'd have no problem with using it to support such a speaker as you describe.

I placed my on a shelf, but I take that an appropriate stand is one sturdy and strong enough to withstand its weight of 16.5 lbs. Speakers should be at ear listening level, while seated, and out of the way from by-passers to avoid bumping into one of them.
