Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Atlantic Satellite 77305018 2 Speaker Stands (Black)
Customer Review: Best I could find for the dollar
Summary: 5 Stars
These are great stands for the low price I paid. The price beat the large stores by $14. Two things you may need to know, first be very careful not to cross thread riser into base, I found it easier to thread the pipe from the bottom of the base to clean up threads and then put it together correctly from the top side. The other thing was the mount is setup for speakers with a pre-threaded insert or wood housed or plastic housed speakers that you can drill holes into and screw the base of the stand into. Another option which I used is double sided tape included, I had plastic housed speakers I did not want to drill into, so I used the included double sided tape. Fot extra security I put a screw in the wall hanging hole in my speaker housing and secured it to the back support brack with a flat washer and nut. These stands look stylish and fit perfectly with the styling of my livingroom.Customer Review: What a deal!
Summary: 5 Stars
My 5 star rating is based largely on the price of these stands. They're about half the price I expected to pay for a decent set of speaker stands and I was very pleased with the quality.
They are thickly powder-coated metal which is very heavy and very stable. This helps isolate the speaker so you get good clear sound. It's also easy to run the wires through the stand to keep the appearance sleek.
Overall the stands look good. They're not quite as classy looking as some more expensive stands, partly because of their height adjustment, partly because they look a little industrial up close. They're perfect for my rear speakers because nobody'll be looking directly at them and they do look good without close inspection. I may opt for more expensive pieces for my front speakers since they will be eyeball stands up by my tv.
Great deal!
Customer Review: Okay, but not awesome.
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought these for the Polk Audio 6750 satellite speaker set. They mostly work together, but the bracket on the stand doesn't sit flush with the back of the speakers. This is not a stand flaw, I just thought I'd mention it since it seems to be a popular combination. You can still secure the speaker, but it's not a perfect fit.
My biggest complaint about this speaker stand set is the brace that allows you to adjust the height. A WORD OF CAUTION - do not twist them too tightly! I wanted to make sure the speakers weren't going to crash to the floor, so I tightened them as much as I could. There's no end point to how far you can twist them, as I discovered. One of the plastic braces cracked. I didn't return the set though, as I only really needed one stand. When I adjusted the second one, I proceeded much more slowly and was able to avoid breakage.
Customer Review: Good Speaker Stands. Not compatible with Polk RM 10 satellites
Summary: 4 Stars
The shipment arrived on time and the speakers are generally stylish and well built. Cast Iron base seems to be strong and sturdy. Assembling is easy. Most of the speaker wire is concealed.
My complaint is about mounting options. The L bracket supplied with the stands is too short to fix the screw through it. If you speakers have a mounting hole in the upper half of the speaker then you may have a problem with mounting using these stands. I ended up using the double sided foam which i am not sure is a permanent option.
The speakers can be rotated on horizontal plan by rotating the upper speaker rod. But tilting is not possible. Height is adjustable but it may become wobbly if you pull them all the way up.
Overall good speakers and I recommend them at a price below $40/pair, albeit with the above constraints.
Customer Review: Very happy with the practicality and price!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Great speaker stands for the price! I was very impressed at how easy they assembled right out of the box.
They also adapted well to my oversized Onkyo speakers, even though I had to mount them upside down to get the clamp to hold the speaker to the stand.
I have lack of experience buying speaker stands but they were all that I expected and more.
Two minor complaints was minor imperfections in the base under the powdercoat but they aren't noticeable unless you are looking very closely. The other issue was I wasn't able to get one of my speaker wires thru the stand but that may just require some finesse to correct the issue.
Overall very good speaker stands; inobtrusive, easy to assemble, very cost effective.
Only Cons: not very elegant, difficult to feed wire thru stand (if you are worried about hiding the wires).
