I'm hoping for one of those Joby Gorillapod camera tripods that seem to come up every woot-off and I'm hoping I didn't miss it yet this time.

Anyone?

Thanks in advance

Does anybody know if Polk Audio Monitor 30s weigh more than 3 lbs each?

Also, I dunno how heavy my speakers are, but prolly more than 3 lbs. I'm assuming that 3 lbs is just a "guideline"...

I have a different standard for tippability: will these withstand (ha!) a direct blow from a large, plumed, wagging tail? (Assume for this that I don't go over the 3-lb speaker guideline)?

(Assume also that both the tail and the speaker stands are installed correctly, ie. speakers firmly attached to these stands, tail firmly attached to an exuberant Norwegian Elkhound...)

will these work with Bose speakers?

As long as you don't have kids, or pets, or a husband, you should be safe, though.

yeah i agree, but mine are going to be between the couch and wall so I should be fine...

Actually they weigh in at about 9 pounds . Great speakers, but I need to find some stands for them. Anyone have any suggestions?

Oh boy, something to complete that Guitar Hero experience!

I bought a pair, I'm going to use them for security cameras. Right height for pointing out a window.

lethargicmass wrote:Does anybody know if Polk Audio Monitor 30s weigh more than 3 lbs each?

According to the specs in that CNet review they're 9 pounds, and that looks like it's 9 pounds each, so that might be quite a stretch.

They are very stylish and functional for my Bose satellites, however the ability to hide the cables inside is limited. I use Monster wiring and they are simply too large to fit inside.

Quality post. Thank you!

Mine seem to be able to withstand impacts from a 6-pound high-speed furry projectile pretty well, so you're probably safe.

In for 3!

Everyone could use a few mounting screws.

Picked a pair up. My satellite speakers have been sitting on the floor or impromptu locations on the back of the couch long enough. I figure the ceiling mount is not going to happen at this stage (3 years into owning the system) so the stands are it.

Mount your Woot Off lights on these....YeeHaw

or point them inside from the outside...

Maybe I'll get these for my hot neighbor. Hopefully, she'll never notice them...

What about this "6-pound high-speed furry projectile?"

I would assume that these would work perfectly with the small "cube" satellites they use in their crappy surround setups; those things can't weigh more than a pound-and-a-half each; the included double-sticky tape should hold the little plastic buggers on there just fine. In fact, I would guess that such micro-speakerlets are exactly what this product is aiming at in the market.

Word... I got em. Now to wait 500 weeks for them to get here!

how many rolls of toilet paper will these things hold?

What is a "rool"???

Got 6 for converting to mic stands. Cant beat the price. I stab Woot!

in for 3 pairs, great price

Thanks! In for a pair, then.

I doubt these will fit my KEF satellites, but for $10 shipped, I'm willing to give it a try. If I have to, I guess I can buy some double-sided velcro tape to keep them on the little platforms that come with these stands.

Ah, Bose and Monster. They definitely belong together!

In for 2!

Nope.

A: They never show them with the ugly wires hanging down (just like in computer desk shots).

B: My cats will knock them over.

This is taking forever...people need to buy more speaker stands. I am tempted to buy 3 just to speed up the process.

On ebay, there is someone selling 300W & 500W box speakers REAL cheap. Can't remember who, but do a search there. I think I paid $35 for the set of 500W indoor/outdoor speakers that work great.

Be quiet, peck!

jupstin wrote:What about this "6-pound high-speed furry projectile?"

Hmm.. I think that one might have a higher operational ceiling than mine, so I can't say for sure. But at altitudes below about 3 feet there doesn't seem to be any problem.

yeah, kinda tempted, but the silver thing is throwing me a bit, too. Got the whole black Sony thing happening--the silver doesn't quite go with the picture (that the soon-to-come flow of women through the door...any month now...will get off on)..

I have 6 of these and use them to spin plates at the circus

In for a pair. Cool walking stick. When you get tired of walking, just it over and have a seat.
