Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Atlantic Satellite 77305018 2 Speaker Stands (Black)
Customer Review: Great speaker stands at a reasonable price
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit, this is my first experience with speaker stands. I have always had rather large tower speakers that didn't require stands. I was surprised by the vast difference in prices and options, and as such, wasn't expecting much when I got these for what seemed a "cheap" price.
I am very happy with the stands, I bought two sets for a new 5.1 system I installed in a smaller room, using smaller sattelite speakers.
The stands went together rather easily, less than five minutes each. Since my system has the wires permanently attached to the speakers and a bulky connector at the other end of the wires, I had to cut the speaker wire to feed it through the stand - not the fault of the stand, just the proprietary nature of the system I bought. Cutting and splicing the speaker wire took longer than the stand assembly. That said, the system for hiding the wire, though basic, is effective and easy. I was easily able to hide the splice within the stand.
The stands are on a carpeted floor and are still very stable, though the speakers I am using are small and light, less than a pound. I have them extended to 52"(at the top of the speaker)with no problem. They look perhaps a bit more modern than the rest of the room they are in, but still look great.
All-in-all, I am very satisfied with this purchase.
Customer Review: 5 stars for price alone!

Speakers Used: Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.1
Easy to setup...sorta. attaching my speakers on the stands was a bit tricky, but I just tightened the screws a bit more and I feel overall, the stands are very sturdy, provided I don't fully extend them (which I won't, as they are nice and tall fully extended). When you extend them fully, there is a bit of wobble.
The stands Klipsh recommends for these speakers are about $80-90 per pair - heaven forbid you get 2 pair! For the price, these stands are simply wonderful...I had to remind myself they were so inexpensive.
Notice I don't say "cheap" as I don't want to have the word mean the stands are cheap in build as well as price. The build is really great for the price. If you look at the stand bottom, you may find some signs of a poor mold - or whatever they use to make the bottoms - but that's on the underside of the stand - I felt the bottoms themselves were very well designed and I did a "nudge test" to see if the stands would topple. I felt that they withstood the test well. If you cross-check them, yes they will fall, but if they are in a low-traffic area, you're good to go.
If you need stands, get these and save some dough. Please don't drill holes in your speakers as the instructions suggest...speaker abuse, in my opinion.
Customer Review: Great Bang for the Buck. I would reccomend them to a friend.
Summary: 5 Stars
I think these speaker stands are pretty great. I recently purchased a 7.1ch home theater system from Best Buy and needed 4 speaker stands for the side and rear speakers. The stands offered in their store were $85 for two. That is just ridiculous. When I found these on here I saw some of the bad reviews and was a little skeptical, but there were some good ones too. They seemed like the best bang for the buck and sure enough, they were. I placed an order for a quantity of 2 which totals 4 stands. They arrived quickly and in good condition. They were simple to unpack and put together. If you have any common sense and own a screw driver it should be easy. One person on here said the pulled the inner extension pole out of the outer pole and had a hard time putting it back together. USE COMMON SENSE! DON'T DO THAT! You shouldn't need to pull it out that far anyway. Speakers should be positioned approximately at ear height. I only had to extend them about 14 inches. The provided mounting screws fit perfectly into the "hanging holes" in the back of my satellite speakers. They seem to be of solid construction and have a nice heavy base. I am very happy with them and would recommend them to anyone.Customer Review: Great Deal

I think its get the job done and is so much cheaper than anything on your local store. It is very sturdy and heavy and is no danger of swaying or falling if the cords are tucked away. Gives you enough height. I am using it all extended and seems really stable. Its like the thing that you will buy and place and forget because gives you no trouble. I personally had an issue of installing my speakers on to the stand. But i dont blame the stand for it as they have given tens of options to install speakers its just that my speakers were not made install friendly. (Samsung HTZ420) If your speakers also have only small tiny holes to hang them on the nail on the wall then forget it. Unless you are willing to drill a hole in it. I was but didnt had the drill machine. So i got it attached with Tape that they actually had packaged in (told you all tens of options). It was not very strong hold meaning that one of speakers did slip when i jerked up the stand but then onwards i was carefully. Since leaving them on undisturbed i have not had an issue. Then again price was good enough to tolerate this. (I am using four of them to mount front and back speakers as i like no holes drilled in the wall.)Customer Review: Awesome Stands for the price!

I got these as a cheap alternative to some of the more expensive stands out there. 2x.00 dollars is no big hit in the pocket, and amazons prime made it even sweeter. I had my rear speakers sitting at weird angles and they had a habbit of falling. I decided to pick up these and see if they could neat things up a bit. The stands are VERY sturdy, and do what they are made to do. I have a samsung 5.1 set, and the rear speakers are pretty small. The stands themselves are great and very sturdy. They have 3 methods for attaching the speakers. 1.) sticky pads on the bottom. 2.) a bar that runs up the back of the speaker, and if your speaker has a bolt hole in the center back, you can use a screw and a washer to mount the speaker to the stand. 3.) screw holes on the bottom. You can screw into your speakers using the 4 screw holes on the bottom. I went with the sticky pads on the bottom, and it seems to be holding my speakers fine. My speakers had little feet that made it more difficult to get it secure, but in the end it still is working good for me. The wire goes through the center to hide the speaker wire too, which is good.
