Atlantic Satellite Speaker Stands

I am using these to position the rear/surround speakers of the Logitech Z906 behind me. The short of it is, I am very impressed with this product. Most popular speaker stands are overpriced to oblivion while these are both popular and cheap, so I was skeptical when I ordered but I figure I'd be able to get it to work regardless and it's a small risk given how cheap it is. The end result was that I was able to get it to work out of the box without any adjustments or bending required. Straight from the box, the package felt heavy and the assembled stand retains this heavy and sturdiness, although not so heavy that it is impossible to lift for the average person. The stand won't tip over simply from normal use or slight bumping or bumping the base with a vacuum for instance, but expectedly will tip over if you shove hard enough. There were no imperfections I could find with the parts and assembling it was both easy and not time consuming at all. All the assembly requires is a standard phillips screwdriver and only three screws per stand that you have to worry about. The stand allows you to route the speaker cable through its hollow pole, and I'd recommend you do this before you screw on the mount for the spearker to the pole. The cable routes nicely without pinching or weird angles overstressing the cable. There is a routing hole through the back of the base also so you don't have to worry about the cable getting caught on the feet of the base. I was able to follow the included direction and assembled both stands within minutes, and despite the Z906 having an angled base, simply letting the screw tighten to the back of the satellite allowed it to be tightly screwed on without needing to bend or make adjustment to the stand or the satellite. The speaker remains sturdy on the stand even without the base of the speaker resting on the mount. I did opt out of using the adhesive because of this, but it wasn't needed at all anyways. Other than that, it was a nice touch that the telescope feature of the stand basically required you to fully assemble first before it worked, and this is a nice thing because assembling it could've been a pain if the telescope extended itself at anytime during the process. Anyway, the whole thing once assembled worked great and looked great. The telescope feature works fine and the tightening mechanism to get the telescope to stay extended works great at keeping the stand extended and sturdy. If there was a negative, it was the fact that the box it was shipped in had the branding and pictures of what was inside, so it was obvious what it was without even opening the box. This might be an issue if your package gets left in front of your door or mailroom, but in my case, I had the package shipped by UPS and always routed those to the UPS office anyway, so it wasn't an issue. But it is something to consider. Overall, this is very much worth the money.
