Review on πŸ”Š PERLESMITH Speaker Stands: Extendable 30-44 Inch with Cable Management - Holds 8lbs Satellite, Bookshelf & Bluetooth Speakers (Polk, JBL, Sony & Samsung) - 1 Pair by Holly Smith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

You do what I wanted.

I ordered these for my new Energy Take Classic 5.1 surround sound system. It took some thought but they worked great when I mounted the speakers upside down with an L-Bracket that screwed onto the stand after removing the plastic hanger bracket from the speaker. If you try to do it right side up you can't use the banana plugs on the wires, there isn't enough room but you can just omit the plugs and they will fit right side up just fine. I give them 5 stars because all the stands you buy will require modifications to the mount as there are so many satellite speakers on the market. They're nice and heavy and perfectly hide the 14/2 wiring. I don't understand the many comments about problems getting the wire through the stand. I used new 14/2 wire, just cut off the ends and fed it through the top in long lengths. By simply tilting the stand while I was doing this, I had the wire slide right through the floor and I didn't even have to pull the exit wire. I can only imagine that the wiring issues are due to the connector ends being pre-wired in place. If this is the case, try tying in a cable to power them. That can help. If you've tried inserting the wire from the bottom of the stand, no wonder you're having trouble. You can even leave the tubes unassembled to feed shorter barrels and then reassemble everything. There is no risk of tipping over with these stands. At $30 a pair, they're a good investment in my opinion, and the little brother of mic stands in terms of quality. I bought 2 sets.
