These are good stands and I recommend them. The following are some installation comments and minor whines to maybe give you a clue.
First, the on-line description says that they come with 3 different types of mounting brackets, the outside of the box said they had 4 different kinds, but when I opened the box, there were actually SIX different styles of mounting brackets! I got 2-pair of stands, and both boxes were like this. Can’t complain about that. I used the rubber feet on a hard-floor rather than carpet spikes, and those needed a little encouragement to stay in place (I used plumbers putty that I had around). The one minor whine is that they did not include enough nuts, bolts and washers for me, but I had some of that stuff lying around too, so it wasn’t a big deal. I guess that most people have tiny satellite speakers with built-in threaded inserts, and if so, there should be no problem at all. My speakers are rather large full-range Polk things designed for wall-mounting; 12”h x 8.5”w x 8.5”d and they weigh 8-lb each. The good news is that even these fit, the balance and c-of-g was good, the stands seem quite stable and I am pleased with the result. I have them at the lowest adjustment point, and they are just about right. Threading the speaker-wire through the posts was a small challenge, and you will probably need needle-nose pliers (or a bent coat hanger) to fish it out. I’m not going to be swinging the stands around like a club with those 8-lb speakers on the end, but sitting in place they are sturdy, well-built, look good and do the job nicely for me.
