Hi
Got the below speaker stands recently to use with 10.1s for my rears. Not sure of brand but they are cast iron, quite sturdy and online specs say can support 10kgs. The top is adjustable up to a maximum of 21cm and I believe you adjust it to fit the speaker. This would have worked perfectly with straight sides but due to the curved cabinet of the 10.1s I am not sure it would be a safe fit. Initial idea was to use an atacama 20 x 13 cm top plate but will have quite a bit of overhang as 13cm will need to support the 28cm depth of the 10.1
Whilst searching for a granite block for the sub, came across these granite placemats which seem to be a good enough replacement as a top plate. Also wondering whether using brackets [url="http://www.nhthifi.com/Sanus-Euro-Foundation-Satellite-Stands]like these (3rd pic)[/url] will be better in securing the 10.1 to the stand and would be more sturdier/safer than using blu tac to stick the speaker to the plate.
So my queries are:
A) anyone have these speaker stands and if so, how have you fixed the speaker?
B) would the use of the granite placemats be safer and sturdier (also sound dampening ?) than the atacama plates?
C) would the brackets be a better option and if so, where can I get a set in the UK?
D) another option?
Any thoughts/opinions will be most welcome.
Thanks
