Customer Review: Bang for the buck :-)
Summary: 4 Stars
We still ordered these stands knowing our speakers didn't have the screw holes needed to securely mount, but this was nothing a black zip-tie couldn't handle. Lightweight, sturdy and extremely simple to assemble. Hubby couldn't be any happier. He especially loved the hidden wire option. I have a 4 yr.old who repeatedly bumps into it (purposely) and these stands give no sign of tipping over. Our rear speakers are small and measure about 2 3/4 in. across on the bottom and they sit perfectly on the platform. Also our speakers are only 5 in. tall and it was still able to conceal the slotted bracket so it still looks sharp. We literally shopped everywhere possible for speaker stands and these by far were best priced and nice looking. Minus one star just because it would have been nice if they provided an option for 'small, no screw speakers'. Still definitely recommend though if your willing to work with it a little.Customer Review: Perfect Stands for my Sony Speakers
Summary: 5 Stars
I just received my Atlantic speaker stands this afternoon. Looks and works great with my Sony BDV-E570 surround speakers. Everything arrived in perfect condition. The instructions were very easy to follow. Thanks to some other reviews, I made sure not to overtighten the adjustment knob for the stand's extension or risk cracking it and took the time to screw the poles to the stands carefully to avoid stripping the treads. The small set of screws fit the screw hole in the back of the speakers perfectly. The speakers fit well with the L shape bracket, but because I wanted a near "perfect" fit, I used a hacksaw and shorten the bracket by a 1/4". The fit, finish, looks and overall quality of this stand is well worth the price. Before buying I checked on-line and visited the big box stores and these were the best for my speakers; especially how the mounting bracket is designed. Very happy with my purchase.Customer Review: Well constructed, but....

I bought these for my Energy Take Classic speaker system, based on some positive reviews from some other reviews on this site. The speaker stands are solidly built, blend nice with the room decor, and easy to put together. However, I found them to be a bit too restrictive to hold my Energy satellite speakers. I had to mount them upside down so that I could use the threaded insert on the back of the speakers for attachment to the speaker stands, because the bracket used by the Atlantic speaker stands doesn't come up high enough to attach to the threaded insert with the speakers right-side-up. It works this way, just not the best or as polished of a setup as I would like. It would be a much better product if the bracket used to attach the speaker was some sort of clamp that attached to the sides of the speakers that could be tighted to keep the speaker stable on the stand. Still, not bad for the money.Customer Review: Solid But Homely
Summary: 3 Stars
These are solid speaker stands for a fair price. They are made of heavy, sturdy metal and won't tip easily. They do telescope for easy height adjustment, but the telescoping regulator broke easily on my stands. Thus the inner post slips with heavy speakers.
They aren't the most elegant stands, either. They are plain, crinkle finish black paint. That's it. Nothing shiny. Nothing polished. Nothing anodized. A basic stand.
The speaker platform works for many speaker types. But I wouldn't say it works for MOST speaker types. The platform is smallish and the L-bracket that can be attached for support is not adjustable. The L-bracket is only 4-5" high in back, so if your speaker is designed with a screw hole on the top half you're out of luck unless you wish to turn your speaker upside down. They need to include some kind of removable bracket or bracket with greater adjustment.
Customer Review: good stands for a great price

Like other people here I bought these stands for my Polk Audio RM6750 satelite speakers. Just like previous reviews I had to modify the bracket on the back to fit my speakers. It would work fine if my speakers were square in the back but they are not. The bracket is a steel rod formed in a L-shape. Modifying it was easy I just flatened out the steel bracket in a vise, cut off about 3 inchs on each side, and then reshaped the L. It was real easy and worked perfectly. The stands are sturdy and look great. I have seen other stands that are more than double the price of these. Don't worry I thought paying so much less for these had to mean that they would be cheap and weak but they are not. The base, rod, speaker platform and bracket are all steel. The only plastic part is the knob used to adjust the height but don't worry even that works great. Great stand for half the price of others.
