Anyone using them on carpet? How stable are they? If you were to just sit your speakers on them (without any tac) , would that be ok?

No problem. They ship with spike-like feet as well as padded for hard floors too. The spikes would sink into your carpet for stability.

They come with metal spikes for the bottom of the stand. These extend down into the carpet and create a pretty stable platform. Mine have nothing attaching the speaker to the stand (just gravity) and they are plenty stable on carpet.

I bought two of them and I have them on carpet. It doesn't wobble, tilt, or anything. Stands firm and is one of the best speakers I have bought. I highly recommend these.

I have mine on a flat carpet and they do not wobble. They are pretty sturdy.

They should be able to absorb some noise. I would recomend maybe putting the non slip mats underneath (mat you put under rug to keep from slipping) as added padding. I think any upstairs jumping would get noisy but these should be ok for kids. Unfortunately mine is stationed in garage so i can't really tell you from experience. Sorry.

I have them in my kitchen on a tile floor so there's no problem sliding there. I doubt there would be a problem on carpet. They aren't very heavy but substantial enough. They are very comfortable. Only downside for me is that I have cats and the vinyl covering is very tempting for paw/claw exercises. I would definitely recommend them.

The speakers are very light weight, if you have it cranked up they will move around on you. I have had to tape mine down to keep them from moving off the table.

I have carpet as well and they have yet to tip over. They have a pretty hefty counter weight at the bottom which helps out a lot, you can also adjust the height to lower the center of gravity and stabilize it even more. That being said, I do recommend these stands. I have not had a problem with tip overs and I have owned others that are extremely unstable and these are anything but. I hope this helps, feel free to ask anything else.

I actually put them on speaker stands so they are at ear level when i sit down. If you hang it, maybe find a stud to anchor it. They sound great for mid range set.

I'm using them in that manner. The equipment , BowFlex, sits very level on these pads over carpet. Hope that helps.

I have Yamaha NS-333's on mine @12lbs each, so they are plenty stable enough. Just as a precaution I installed velcro to the top of the stand and bottom of the speakers and they're rock solid.

Mine are on carpet. However, they tend to be very well made on the bottom of the legs. Don't feel that would be a problem.

They come with small rubber squares that are supposed to protect the floors, I would replace them with felt squares just to be safe. It is very stable and does not need any additional weight with small satellite speakers. I am using them on carpet.

Depends on the size of the speakers youre using. I have pets and kids with small speakers and no tippin yet. best to place them where least traffic is expected.

I would expect a small amount of sound and vibration to lower. Keep in mind these are just made out of painted MDF wood. The spikes on these are made out of plastic and don't have much of a proper spike on them. They spike into carpet well, but I wouldn't worry about damaging hardwood with these.If you really wanted to lower vibration transfer, look into finding a set of stands that allow you to fill the vertical section with sand.

Yes the are very sturdy on carpets! I use the on the beds and to raise up the sofas in the living room. I have had no problems thus far. I love them.

mine have been flush mounted in a small 12x12 spare bedroom on the back wall used for 7.2 surround sound. But I'm thinking about angling them down. my couch is directly along the back wall so the speakers are directly above the couch. I don't really get too much sound from them so I'm thinking about angling them down. Hope this helps

I have these on a pretty thick rug and have no problems. They aren't very top-heavy at all, but they are really nice speakers. You will like them.
