From the Sanus Euro Foundations line, these distinctive speaker stands are as sleek and stylish as they are functional. Stable adjustable design is ideal for satellite and surround speakers.

Good speaker pedestals

I used the speaker stands for a couple of Definitive Techology ProMonitor 800 4-1/2" Bookshelf Speakers. Each speaker connects using the L-shape brace with a single bolt that screws into the back of the speaker. I had to use the spacer washer in order to attach the wires. Even with the spacer, there would not have been sufficient room if I had used banana plugs and still keep the base of the speaker on the bottom of the brace. With only a single bolt connection, the speakers easily rotate and become skewed. The documentation could have certainly been better. It would help if the vendor would include on their website precise instructions for various models of popular speakers showing the best way to attach.

This Definitive Technology CS-8040 loudspeaker features two 4-1/2" midrange drivers pressure-coupled to a 5" x 10" bass radiator for amazing bass extension. Linear Response Waveguide technology smoothes off-axis frequency response and disperses sound over a wide area.

I walked into Best Buy to talk with a salesman about purchasing a Samsung curved sound bar for my new Samsung 65" 4K Smart Curved LED Ultra HDTV. His comment was that many people buy awesome TVs and then pair them with sound bars. His comment was that Samsung is not a speaker company. And that sound bars, in general, are pretty poor. After spening a lot of money on a great TV, it's worth completing the experience by purchasing a superior audio system. He brought me into the Magnolia demo room and played the Definitive Technology bipolar speakers. They sounded great. It turned out that the speakers were on sale for half off their original price. I bought two BP-8040ST towers along with the corresponding CS-8040 center speaker. I wanted to buy two matching surround speakers from the same family, but they were no longer available from anywhere at Best Buy. Instead, I purchased two PROSAT 800 surround speakers. The sound from the entire system is awesome. While the speakers, plus a Yamaha receiver, certainly cost more than a sound bar, the old adage holds true: you get what you pay for. I couldn't be happier and would highly recommend Definitive Technology speakers.

This Definitive Technology BP-8040ST floorstanding loudspeaker features two 1" pure aluminum dome tweeters and an 8" subwoofer for a lush soundscape. The 300W Class D amplifier features a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) for smoothing the bass response.
