Tips:
Not Good Enough,
I purchased these stands with a new Harmon Kardon surround sound system. At the same time I purchased a set of stands made by Atlantic Atlantic Satellite 77305018 2 Speaker Stands (Black) since I wasn’t sure which set would work better.
The Atlantic stands are superb, with multiple mounting options, and a heavy stable iron cast base. They also offer multiple brackets, double-sided tape, and various nuts and bolts for different applications.
The Amazon stands have a much lighter steel base, with a design that isn’t very stable on carpet, allowing the speaker to “droop” forward like a wilted flower. Another problem is the clasp that holds up the telescoping portion of the base. It is nothing more than a thin piece of plastic that doesn’t inspire much confidence that it will hold up your speakers. In fact, one of the stands didn’t hold up at all. The Atlantic stands, on the other hand have a very robust and easy to use telescoping bracket.
The Amazon stand has a crude plastic housing on top that doesn’t fit particularly well and pops off easily. The Atlantic stand offers a neat and tidy method to route and hide the wire so you can’t see it. The Amazon stand does not offer a way to easily hide the wire in the stand itself – the telescoping portion has such a small diameter that getting a 16 gauge wire through would be difficult – although I didn’t try it so I don’t know for sure.
I really like Amazon Basics products in general. I have many of their HDMI and other cables, which are excellent quality. However, these stands appear to have been made by the lowest cost manufacturer that Amazon could find in China. I highly recommend the Atlantic stands instead. Check the prices, when I purchased both sets the pricing was very similar – around thirty bucks per set.
EDIT: Another reviewer mentioned the weight of the speakers as they relate to these stands. I have to agree with this assessment. My Harmon Kardon speakers do seem to weigh a good amount even though they are considered small in size. These stands may be adequate for smaller lightweight speakers. I still feel that they are cheaply made and don’t offer many mounting options. There are better stands available for a similar price.

Basic is an understatement.,
First off, I would rather spend my money on the sound system or TV than the stands to hold everything up properly, so I was definitely looking primarily for function. These deliver as advertised, though I had to -1 a star because the paintjob is horrible. I’m going to have to take a spraypaint can to areas of the pole where the paint chipped as well as cover the “Amazon Basics” logo on the bottom.
Hey, just becuase I’m cheap doesn’t mean I want it advertised!
As mentioned in other reviews, the stands only work with A.) light speakers and B.) speakers with a keyhole mount on the back. Otherwise… well, just get a different set of stands; these clearly are not for you. Frankly, you can find other stands comparably priced without tacky logos on the bottom, but if not, these will suffice. For what they are, they’re sturdy and the height is adjustable, easy to put together.
Edit: (12/7/11) I ended up buying another set of these for the front speakers, and the price was less than half of what it was when I bought the first set. (I believe I paid about $25 for the first set, only $11 for the second. They are presently $13 and change.) I’m nearly tempted to change my rating to a 5 because of the price drop; you really aren’t going to buy a cheaper set of speaker stands of comparable quality.
