Good Speaker Stands for HT-S9100 THX Front Speakers I just purchased an HT-S9100THX and all of the reviews I've read describe the front speakers as "freakishly large". I'm looking for speaker stands to sturdily hold them up. Anybody have any suggestions?

If you are setting your TV on a TV stand, you may have room to set your speakers to the side of your screen. Just an idea.... We have a 46" LCD and our TV stand is about 53" wide, so we've got extra room on the side to set the front speakers (there is a cabinet for the center channel). It looks a lot less obtrusive than setting them on stands...

I bought the IKEA Benno CD/DVD shelf in brown-black ash for $50, cut it in half and put a base on it. It's almost the same color and just the right width for the front speakers. I think it looks better than speaker stands. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/07305310

Sorry it wont work for you on the tv stand...... I have one of their systems thats about 1 1/2 year old and I'm sure my speakers are as big if not bigger. I got a 5-pack speaker mount from walmart and put them on the wall. They hold just fine, cant beat that for $20! They tilt and pan too... I only needed the 4 too, so I have an extra.

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 was wondering the same thing. It's a shame onkyo doesn't list compatible stands on their website. I've been searching and not finding anything. I just got my system and will take it out of the box and see what we are looking at. Do you ever find anything usefull for mounting or just stands?

Personally, I simply bought little square shelves and strong brackets at Lowe's and mounted them to my walls (in the beams, not just drywall....I'm not stupid). As long as the brackets are centered and strong enough, they work fine. The shelves I bought actually fit the speakers perfectly, allowing me to angle the front ones. The side speakers fit with a little bit of room on each side so the shelf is just about as wide as the speaker, so it fits nice. The shelves I bought weren't for the brackets I bought, but you can drill a couple of holes in them and make 'em fit. :)

I cannot really report on a reference to the older S-10 speakers as these are new to me, however I can say that I switched from a Bose system the Synergy series and the change has been nothing short of dramatic. I have a pair of F-30, (1) C-20, and a pair of S-10s. The only real issue for me is the weight of these. It was difficult to find a set of floor standing stands that really can stand up to them, but once mounted they sound great.

The speaker stands are designed specifically for DT ProMonitor 600/800 loudspeaker systems. The dimensions of the top plate are not provided.

Bruce, I just heard the Towers briefly, but believe they would be better in a Home Theater setup as the front speakers. The monitors are great in a music-only system. They do the audiophile things really well - they "disappear", sound very spacious, and have good bass response for their size. The Towers, though, will have much more bass and this would be beneficial in a HT system, particularly if no sub is used.

Thank you Donald for the response and the information! My only concern about the LN52A750 is no swivel stand. I may have to bite the bullet. Do you have any thoughts on the Samsung HT-X810 2.1 Channel Soundbar Home Theater System? The description talks about hanging, but says nothing about 'sitting' (which I would rather do). I can't handle a 7-piece surround-sound set. I definitely need more simplicity. I live in a historically registered home that is definitely not conducive to modern electronics! And this is one girl who loves her electronics! Any help you can give me on a soundbar would be once again, sincerely appreciated. Thank you Donald for the response and the information!

Hey everyone,I just purchased this system and wanted to jump in. I'm using the Sony STR-DG820 as my receiver and have SS-B1000 bookshelf speakers as my fronts. I bought this system to use as the remainder of a 7.1 channel setup. Polk seemed to recommend the setup that Schor talked about when using their satellites in the package as front speakers. Would anyone recommend this setup with the larger bookshelf speakers or would using the sub-out on the receiver be better? Any thoughts? Thanks

Best Buy sells a basic speaker stand pair set that comes with many different types of mounting hardware styles. The stand itself seems lightweight and flimsy but each is pretty much anchored to the ground by large iron plates that should support the weight of just about any mountable speaker as long as you distribute the weight of the speaker as close to the center of the stand as possible.

Good Afternoon, to answer your question I would say that these are the BEST bookshelf speaker mounts for the money at the time, 25.00! for the pair. What a STEAL! after fixing my problem I had with them these turned out to be a gem!! They turn an easy 180 from side to side and also have a nice up and down tilt as well, I have my Polk RTI A1 speakers mounted on these which are quite large and these do the job well! I use blue tack to hold the speakers down just incase they don't lift or at an angle the tack holds the speakers down in their place. Good luck! I'm here if you have anymore questions. Randy

Marcus...thanks for the input. Not the response I really wanted to hear, but the one I expected to get. I'l let you know which way I go. Anyone have a pro position on in-wall speakers???

One would normally mount speakers in the way they are designed to be mounted. These are intended to be wall mounted to get their best performance. I'm sure Def Tech has some other surround speakers intended for stand mounting and I suggest going that route for the best performance.

I bought this item from Amazon, but when goods arrived, it has 2 normal speakers, and none with soft dome tweeters & woofers. What should I do to contact the seller? Pls help. Thanks.

You can use just about any speaker as a rear surround, although you would not be using these speakers to their full potential. These speakers have a higher range than what is normally used in surround speakers (low to high), therefore, you end up with expensive surround speakers. Tower speakers are typically used as front speakers in a 2.1 or 3.1 setup. If you have the money to spend, I guess "why not?". But if you want bang for your buck, use these as front speakers and buy some nice rear surround speakers and save some space.

These are excellent and very directional surround speakers that should work well with your current high-end stuff. I've been very happy with mine. Most sources - satellite TV, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV - anything except for BluRay - depend a lot more on the front speakers.

Depends on their footprint. My NHT SuperOnes are 7"W x 8"D and fit perfectly. I wouldn't put much larger speakers on the stands, maybe another inch each way. And I definitely recommend using the spikes.

Depending on what your other speakers are, I actually think they would be a pretty good speaker as a high or wide. The reason I said that it depends in your other speakers is because you typically want your speakers to be timbre matched, otherwise it does not sound quite right. I believe that these are timbre matched to the Polk tsi or monitor speaker series.

Dear Mr. Lee:I decided to go up a notch to a Technic 1200 turntable.What are these other items; are they replacement items I can buy later? What function do they do?Shure M97xE High-Performance Magnetic Phono Cartridge Shure SFG-2 Stylus Tracking Force Gauge Also, a friend gave me a pair of bose $300 speakers for my PC. I think I want to pair this Technic turnable with a bigger Bose system, suggestion here?

I'm curious about this as well. Solaris, did you find out if this is compatible or did you find another speaker stand that is?Logitech doesn't seem to sell speaker stands.
