Five Star Reviews: | 62% Finally Can Use Surround Sound May 6, 2017 These can be constructed very easily, they're just time-consuming. No issues there, just takes about 40 minutes to put everything together and secure your speakers into them. I have a Vizio sound bar and my speakers didn't fit on the base to be screwed in/secured, but this does come with double faced tape that you can apply to the speaker base to secure them into place. That tape works exceedingly well too as my speakers are going nowhere anytime soon. You can also easily loop the speaker wire through the pole and then through the L-Shaped top piece. So even though I couldn't screw in my Vizio speakers to this stand, the tape still works and I now have fantastic surround sound for my room. Much better than having surround sound speakers in the corners of your couch! Good Quality and nice looking. April 13, 2017 I gave these stands 5 stars because they are nice quality heavy stands. No speaker stand can fit every speaker made. I have the VIZIO SB3851-C0 38-Inch 5.1 Channel Sound Bar. I used the smaller l brackets which need to be slightly modified. As others have mentioned, you need to bend the brackets to allow for the RCA plug that connects the speaker. To accomplish this, I loosely assembled speaker stand with bracket and placed the speaker on stand. Then marked where the plug would go. At this time also mark the ends of the bracket that will stick out of the front under speaker. I used tape to mark these. I placed the handle of a pliers in that spot then placed a vice grip on the end closest to where screw will go so that it would not spread. Took another vice grip and placed on the other end which made my rounded opening for the plug. I used a bolt cutter to cut off excess bracket ends. You could also use a hacksaw. The metal is fairly easy to bend and cut. Use the screws that come with Vizio to mount speaker. Takes a little effort but the result is very good. Works Well With Vizio SB3851x-C4 38-inch 5.1 Soundbar Satellite Speakers, and Quick Install!! April 11, 2017 O.k., I just ordered these stands and set satellite speakers from a Vizio SB3851x-C4 38-inch 5.1 Soundbar system on them. I read reviews about these stands, with folks stating that they had to buy screws, bend the brackets, and had trouble inserting the speaker wire through the tube. I had none of these issues. I instead decided to set this up, in a simplistic/quick manner.1. I screwed the mounting base onto the stand.2. I bent a coat hanger, making it straight. I used painters tape (non-sticky, unlike duck tape, or scotch tape). I then taped the cable for the speak to the very end of the coat hanger (nose to nose), tape it up, and slowly pulled the cable through the tube. No issues, done quickly.3. I used the double side pads, cutting four pieces, which I placed on each of the four sides of the mounting base, which I had screwed onto base stand. The speakers were 'stuck' to the post base, with on pad showing, and were well anchored. I was happy. I put all of the screws/brackets, back into the bag, and will save them.I had NO issue in using the double-sided, sticky pads. You cannot see them, when the speaker is stuck on the mounting pad. The speaker sits there, anchored, and really will not come off if you move the stand in a reasonable manner, or do not plow into it (which you should not be doing anyway). It really does not matter for me anyway, as my speakers are placed where they could not get run into. I was done with mounting the speakers in least about 5-7 minutes, with no headaches. Solid purchase, with some ingenuity December 15, 2016 Very happy! The stands themselves are heavy and sturdy. I did a lot of research on all of the other options on Amazon before committing to purchasing these because my Harman Kardon HK16 speakers are tall and come with a somewhat proprietary base for mounting to the wall. Mounting to a screw based stand would not necessarily work in this case because the bottom is not perfectly flat and there is not connection on the back of the speaker since the wall mount attaches to the bottom. However, the included tall mounting bracket that comes with the stands worked perfectly in combination with the double side tape and with a simple piece of black yarn to secure. If you have the taller Harman speakers, I would recommend these stands. Yes, my solution is not "pro," but I'm certainly content versus spending $100+ on the actual HK speaker stands.I thought about using a zip tie to secure the speaker to the bracket, but the yarn solution works just as well and is less noticeable on the all black speaker front. Works great with Monoprice Premium 5.1 CH November 3, 2015 Found the perfect surround sound speakers for me: Monoprice 10565. However, it was a bit of a headache finding the right speaker stands since monoprice very own speaker stands didn't seem to be a good match. Was so happy when i stumbled upon this pair of stands. Thanks to all the reviewers that posted photos showing that it works with the monoprice speakers.I have pasted additional images showing that it works with pretty decent size speaker wires as well. I used flat speaker wire to route underneath my rug in the living room. I was worried the wire wouldn't fit through the speaker stands but it worked great. Excellent cable management! Also I was able to use pins as my termination points for my wires with no issues. I did use electric tape to ensure the bracket isn't pushing too much against the pins. However, if you are not using speaker pins the bracket shouldn't be an issue at all.Love these stands, the cable management, and look of them. Perfect stands for small satellite/surround speakers, a breeze to get set up. February 11, 2014 Vizio Sound Bar owners : this is what you want. These stands arrived not even 24 hours after ordered them. The Vizio sound bar surround speakers work just fine (see product images I will upload). The cast iron construction seems pretty stable, especially for the lightweight Vizio speakers. I'd not put speakers weighing more than a couple of pounds on them, though, especially if you extend the tubes all the way up.It was a breeze to thread the speaker wire DOWN the tube and out from the base, and then attach the top mounting bar and bracket. Pry open the mounting wire bars a little bit, fit the speaker connector through, and attach speaker to wire bracket with included washer. 10 minutes, tops.I have no reason to doubt that these stands will work just fine with almost any other brand of small, lightweight surround or bookshelf speakers. $40 well spent. | 64% A must for any Vizio TV October 28, 2017 Great price and works very very well with a Vizio TV. Senses you turning volume up on the regular TV remote and powers on the unit. Remote can control all variable levels, etc.. All accessories included. Great shipping and packaging. Really enjoy it. March 23, 2017 Had this about a month so far. Really enjoy it. The kids dance around to music and it is a hoot. It was very easy to set up.I have had trouble getting my TV remote (samsung) to work for volume control. The cable remote works fine for volume control on the sound bar though.I highly recommend this. Wonderful sound and easy to install January 17, 2017 Great product. Easy to install with wonderful sound. I bought this as my husband is hard-of-hearing. He can really enjoy the audio system now. sounds great January 4, 2017 Easy to set up and sounds great. The only con for me is the remote doesn't have a lit background, makes it harder to make adjustment without having a lite on. awesome November 23, 2016 sound bar is awesome. great price and great sound. no issues with the remote or pairing with any device. have it hooked up in my room to a samsung tv, again no issues. the sound booms. the satellite speakers are a nice touch to get that true 3d feel and sound. would buy again for sure. Talk about a great value for the money January 29, 2016 Talk about a great value for the money. I have this set up in my basement and I LOVE IT!! The fact that it does not require much wiring was a selling point for me. The product is not entirely wireless as you still have to connect the rear speakers to the sub woofer using the cable. The sound is much powerful than I anticipate. The only con I have witnessed so far is that the sounds sometimes rattles, but not often. I highly recommend. | 60% There are no reviews yet | 36% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Four Star Reviews: | 24% No nuts included February 6, 2017 Like everyone says, they're good for the money. I had some old JBL Flix 1 surround speakers and pulled them out of the closet and started to hook them up. But they're old so have one of those openings that hang on a screw head projecting out of the wall (into an anchor in the wall) but not something to screw into the speaker like more modern speakers have. I thought nothing of it because there were screws that would work like that included, but it turns out there are no nuts to hold the screw in the wire loop. I have the option of screwing the bottom of the speaker onto the stand, but I'd really rather not screw things into the speaker. Instead I'll have to head to Home Despot to get a screw and nut that will work. I think it's awfully odd to leave out two nuts that would have fixed this. Worked well after a minor mod October 14, 2016 I purchased these stands for my Vizio surround sound speakers because they claim to be universal. Unfortunately, these stands were not a perfect fit for my Vizio speakers because the Vizio speakers have lines coming from the back and this is where the brackets attach. It was also a bit of a pain treading the cables through the poles because of how large the aux plug was, nothing a little vigorous shaking couldn't fix.I read reviews of people bending the brackets to allow for the cables to pass through. This just seemed like a lot of work. I had some spacers laying around so Inuse those to fill in the gap. See picture.I like how the foot of the stand slopes down towards the front. This allowed me to wedge it under the couch for stability so my daughter doesn't knock it over.Overall, great speaker stands for a great price. I took one star off because they aren't truly universal but its a very minor problem. Compatible with VIZIO Sound Bar System (S4251w-B4) with some minor and easy modification June 30, 2016 These speaker stands are great with my sound bar and the fit great on the stand, but I did need to do some modifications to the stand to secure them in place. I do not consider myself a "handyman" so if I can do it I think most people would be able to. Things to note:-the speaker wires do fit inside the column so there are no wires running down the stand.-I used the following supplies from Home Depot (included pictures for reference): (2) Fender Washer 3/16"x1-1/4" and (2) machine screws round head combo #6-32x3/4"-I used the taller of the two L-shaped brackets, those fit better and the bottom part of the bracket did not stick out past the speaker.-I had the bend the brackets wider so the speaker plug would fit...I did this using my hands and that worked well. I first bent them out at the top of the bracket and then bent them back in towards the bottom, to create a diamond shape.Overall the stands seem solid and I have enjoyed them so far! Bought with VIZIO SB3851-C0 38-Inch 5.1 Channel Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer and Satellite Speakers January 16, 2016 I bought these to go with the VIZIO SB3851-C0 38-Inch 5.1 Channel Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer and Satellite Speakers (2015 Model).In short - they're not perfectly compatible, but they work... with some adjustments. The satellite speakers for this Vizio system aren't as big as what the stands are able to hold, so there is a little bit of lip that sticks out beneath where the speakers sit... but this is simply an aesthetic thing and it's not so much difference that it's a huge deal.The biggest issue is that the supports that you attach to the backs of the speakers to hold them in place is not wide enough to allow room for the speaker plugs of this particular Vizio model speakers. We had to use pliers to bend the metal a little bit to make room for the speaker plugs. We wiggled one set of pliers (that were the width we needed) between the metal bars, and used another set of pliers to squeeze the top and it separated the metal tongs to just the right space to fit the plug. I would never have thought of doing it that way but my husband is better than me at math, science, physics and somehow he knew that would work. It did perfectly.I rate these four stars because the quality of the stands is good, but a little annoying that we had to make the minor adjustments. Of course, this is also based on my particular model of Vizio speakers, so your experience may differ. Used with Vizio SB3851-C0 Soundbar 5.1 Set November 19, 2015 Purchased for use with my 38" Vizio 5.1 Soundbar and wireless subwoofer (model# SB3851-C0) setup. Good quality speaker stands. Used the smaller mounting bar set that comes with it. Like most reviewers, I did have to bend the center out to allow the coax to pass through and had to pinch the top portion to allow for a tight backing attachment to the speaker (see attached picture). This marred up the bar, but a Sharpie cleaned it back up.One negative that I do have is that the mounting bar sticks out too much in the front for these particular speakers (see photo). It is made for a more universal setup, so I understand that it is not a perfect fit. Simple remedy will be to mark it and pull out the handy Dremel to cut them back.NOTE: Make sure you run the cable through the center of the stand before you begin assembling the base and backing for the speaker. I used a spare shoe lace to pull the cable through as the clearance is tight. Bought these for the VIZIO S4251w-B4 5.1 Satellite Speakers June 14, 2014 If you research the heck out of everything like I do, there are lots of reviews that cry bloody murder about how these stands are totally incompatible with these Vizio speakers, as well as lots of reviews brashly claiming how simple it is to set these stands up with these Vizio speakers.The reality is somewhere in-between these polarized views.Here are some helpful tips for not losing your cool when setting these up:1. Open ice cold beverage of your choice. Mine tend to have alcohol in them, but not a requirement.2. Use the screws and washers that come with the Vizio speakers to affix the speakers onto the stands. The screw options that come with the stands do not fit these Vizio speakers. No need to go to a hardware store.3. Use the taller L-shaped brackets for mounting speakers to the stands.4. The trick is to use a set of pliers to bend OUT the part of the bracket "rails" near the speaker plug towards the bottom, and bend IN the bracket "rails" in the middle where you attach the screw and washer to the back of the speaker. I wish the washer was a little bigger to help ensure it was holding on to the bracket, but it will do the job transforming to your needs if you spend a few minutes going back and forth with squeezing the bracket rails inward in the middle where the screw goes and pushing the bracket rails outward towards the bottom where the speaker plug/cable goes. I added a picture with captions to the Customer Images section if you need a visual illustration: http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/permalink/mo36U1PDULU63RH/B000289DC6/ref=cm_ciu_images_pl_link5. Other tip is to ever-so-slightly bend the entire L-bracket inwards (i.e., reduce the angle) to ensure a more snug sitting of the satellite speaker on to the stand. If you're paranoid about the bracket rails popping out from around the screw washer, there is thick double-sided tape included in the stand accessories to attach to the bottom of the speakers that sit on top of the stands. I didn't bother with that in case I ever wanted to mount these satellite speakers on the wall. The trick with the pliers did the job well enough for me.6. Finish ice cold beverage and you're done.Given the bit of macgyvering it took to fit the brackets onto the Vizio speakers, I reduced this to a 4-star rating. I think Atlantic should get with the program and provide some accessories for these Vizio speakers because they apparently already have a big share of the market for 3rd party speaker stands, and it would have been nice to not have to bust out my toolbox to get these to fit.Overall, these speaker stands feel very sturdy and robust, and the base appears to be sufficient enough to not topple over due to clumsily bumping into it or due to a minor shake of an earthquake (knock on wood). The height is easy to adjust and the price is right, too. There doesn't appear to be a lot of other good stand options for these Vizio satellite speakers, so these will do you just fine if you follow my tips and tricks. | 15% Overall great but a wonky remote October 24, 2017 So at $200 this is a great little sound system. I have a wide living room and the wireless communication lets me have my sub and surrounds where I want without wires crisscrossing everywhere. This is a product that knows what it meant for and does it well.Pros: Lightweight, cheap, good sound for the $, easy to mountCons: Remote has very tricky interface and is kinda tiny for a guy with bigger hands. Could be better but quite fair for the price October 11, 2017 well it could be super great review, unfortunately the digital port of the speaker does not work.I struggled to plug it to my TV and Computer and could never figured it out so my solution was simply to use the bluetooth. I lose in audio quality but it works.This bar is powerful with the bass and sattelite. It goes quite high and i love it. with my tv it feels like a home teatherI would recommend it as the price is hard to beat. Wish the surround worked for all TV output September 21, 2017 The main sound bar works great, but I find the side speakers don't work unless the program is in (HD?). for example, an older TV show it won't work, but then come in clear for newer commercials. When it's not picking up the sound there is slight static noise coming from it that can bother my ears. So I only use the long sound bar, placed next to the television. 4-stars because it doesn't seem to be the fault of the system, but I think they are only made to work if the TV show is new enough. Sound bar alone (and might have considered purchasing just that) is superior to the built-in sound on my Samsung Smart TV. Fit my needs. April 10, 2017 Nice set up for my medium sized living room. The price was great and it delivers good sound along with a nice little subwoofer to heighten your movie or music experience. If you don't want to break the bank on various over priced surround sounds (in my opinion) this is the right product for you. Very Nice March 2, 2017 Very nice sound coming out of this bar, and for the price, I am surprised, I like the idea of playing music from my phone, it sounds very good clear and it's loud.. Great sound bar for the price February 16, 2017 This is a very good sound bar system and at a good price, but the instructions to link everything together are not so easy. You have to rely on these flashing light codes on the sound bar and frankly, it gets confusing. I'm still trying to figure out how to have it work off the remote control to my HDTV. | 16% There are no reviews yet | 5% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Three Star Reviews: | 8% Nice stands but they don't work well with Vizio satellite speakers April 24, 2017 Quality metal stands but they do not work with my Vizio satellite speakers without substantial modifications( I hear this is common with Vizio). If your speaker has an RCA with a 90 degree connector, you cannot run the wire through the stand. I had to bend the bracket that secures the speaker so the RCA could seat. I also had to get new hardware since the screws that came with the speakers were too short and the stands did not supply this hardware. All in all I should have kept looking for stands that were compatible with my Vizio Smartcast wi-fi Sound Bar System (38", 5.1) mainly due to the wire not fitting through the stand. I am going to buy a better set for my Sonos November 26, 2016 These are advertised as being compatible with the Sonos Play-1. If by compatible they mean that the Sonos has a 1/4-20 threaded receptacle in the back and these come with 1/4-20 screws, then yes they are compatible. However, the screws are to long. They are 3/4 of an inch in length. This means that the speaker does not snug tightly to the stand. Also, the hollow stem is to narrow to accommodate the head on the songs power cord. The stand appears to be stable. I got what I paid for and I'll keep them, but I will probably end up using them for secondary speakers. I am going to buy a better set for my Sonos. Not the best, but they work with the HKTS-15 with additional hardware. May 8, 2016 I ordered these for a Harman Kardon HKTS-15 5.1 system that I ordered off of a clearance deal for the kids' entertainment room in the basement. I was going for functional but cheap and that's pretty much what these are. Why do I only give them 3 stars then?1) They aren't incredibly high. It works fine for the small HKTS-15 speakers that I have and I'm not going for perfect speaker placement but if I had larger speakers that I wanted to lift higher, these aren't the stands for you.2) It's actually a good thing they aren't taller. The base isn't as stable as you would want for a heavier set. Again, that's not what these stands are designed for. If you are reading this review I just didn't want to give you and delusions that they were something that they are not.3) The mounting of the speakers is a bit convoluted for the HKTS-15's. I ended up buying additional speaker mounting bolts.screws. For the record the size is 1/4 inch by 20. The speakers come with 3/4 inch and 1 inch options. Because of the way you have to bottom mount the speakers through the little optional two pole L piece you'll have to buy additional bolts. 2" bolts worked for the HKTS-15's but you might be able to get away with 1.5 inch long bolts if you have a bottom mount flush mount speaker. But my recommendation if you own a HKTS set, or any other Hardon Kardon set that has a similar bottom mounting setup, and you purchase these stands (You'll need 4 total so you'll have to buy two sets) is to buy four (4) 1/4 inch x 20 bolts that are 2 inches long to securely mount the speakers to the stands.So do the stands function with the HKTS-15 speakers? Yes. Are they the most robust? No. Do they require additional hardware? Yes, I would recommend it. Now the extra bolts go for about $6 here on Amazon - so it isn't all that much. The stands do work for what I bought them for. They just aren't the best ever in my opinion. Of course, YMMV. NOT for VIZIO satellite speakers October 23, 2015 Just got these stands for our Vizio 5.1 surround sound system. They DO NOT work well for these speakers. They do not come with the right size screws for the satellite speakers, and the screws that come with the Vizio are not long enough to fit the bracket that comes with the stands. You will have to use the provided two-sided tape to secure these speakers to the stands. Also the input jacks on the Visio speaker wires BARELY fit through the stand tubes. Better have some string handy to fish them through, and once you do that and attach the speakers your committed unless you pull the tape and start over. Well built and sturdy but not ideal for VIZIO I do not recommend these stands in connection with the Vizio S3851w-D4 sounder surround system November 20, 2014 These speaker stands are not that great for the system I purchased. They are well made, but are really meant for satellite speakers that have a 2 wire plug in system. If your speakers have the single plug in the middle as the Vizio S3851w-D4 satellite speakers do, then you have to pull the rear mounting L-bracket apart (spread apart) to squeeze the plug in the middle of it (NOT IDEAL).I kept these speaker stands because they were so cheap in price that it wasn't worth sending them back. I would look to the owner manuals for connections on the back of speaker and how the speakers actually mount to the bracket on these stands before purchasing. I failed to do that so its my fault for taking the "frequently bought together" label as recommended together.I do not recommend these stands in connection with the Vizio S3851w-D4 sounder surround system. Wire Bracket is Too Short December 25, 2011 The product is well made, but they skimped on the wire bracket (C) height. I have a set of Infinity Speakers and these stands are not suited for them unless you wish to screw holes in the bottom of the speakers or use the double-backed tape. It is unfortunate that the idiots that designed the wire bracket (C) did not have enough brains to increase the height to at least 6". It is only 4" and will not work if your screw hole is higher than that The only way that these included wire brackets (C) will work is if you turn the speakers upside down and use a spacer, but who wants their speakers upside down anyway. I am going to have to make my own bracket or try to find a substitute in order to use the stands. | 5% Three Stars March 27, 2017 sound from the smaller speakers aren't great but it will do until an upgrade My first review was 1 star! I did not ... March 20, 2017 My first review was 1 star!I did not paid enough attention to the status of this item!They offered to refund,though.Product was hit or it felled on a hard surface.as a result,sometimes sub woofer stop working,not always though. Excellent system for the price point January 24, 2017 Surround sound fit for a home theater, when your home theater is really just your family room. Easy to set up, solid bass and pretty easy to customize to the room. I expected better sound quality October 21, 2016 Good setup & sound is way better than cheap tv speakers, but at the price I expected better sound quality. For tv watching, bass is totally a waste & more distraction than good. I like this sound bar very much March 17, 2016 I like this sound bar very much, although it seems to fade in and out at times. The volume will get low then come back but it only seems to do it on certain programs. If Pandora is playing I don't have that issue. So I haven't figured out why it does that yet. other than that, LOL, I like it! Sub par subwoofer November 21, 2015 Ok for the price. The subwoofer isn't very good. I would probably pay a little more and get something with a better subwoofer. This one distorts very easily. There are still a lot of wires to run. The only wireless part is from the bar to the subwoofer. | 11% There are no reviews yet | 15% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Two Star Reviews: | 3% Didn't allow me to hide the wires and front of the speaker mount is gaudy. September 6, 2017 Installation was simple, they hold the speakers just fine, but there are parts of the speaker holder sticking out of the front. I may try to trim off the excess from it. Also attempting to feed the speaker wire/plug through almost resulted in ruining the speaker wire itself since the plug was a right angle plug. I'd suggest creating the pole in a slightly larger diameter... ... gave it a two star rating is because I like the styling May 11, 2017 The only reason I gave it a two star rating is because I like the styling. Otherwise they are a ZERO for me. My experience is specific to the VIZIO SmartCast™ 45” 5.1 Sound Bar System. These stands were supposed to fit the rear speakers. They DO NOT unless you do some custom machining to either the stands or the speakers at home. I'm not doing that. If you have different speakers they may work great. There just isn't any way to tell until you get them home. My frustration also comes from Vizio not being able to tell me which brand makes stands that are guaranteed to fit their speakers. Does not fit Klipsch speakers (or any speaker taller than 4 inches) October 27, 2016 Pro: Very sturdy productCons: Brackets are TINY. I got these for the rear speakers in my surround setup. These stands come with 2 sets of brackets. The largest set is roughly 4-4.5 inches long. If you have anything other than baby speakers, it is unlikely for them to fit.One other note: I bought these after seeing someone else's review where they fit larger speakers. I'm thinking there may be 2 different models of the same stand being sold. Either that or they don't consistently measure the brackets. they are pretty stiff (which is a good thing) so it takes ... August 2, 2016 As others have mentioned, it is not compatible with vizio speakers. It takes some adjusting in order for the vizio wires to fit through the stability holders that stick up. I figured this wasn't a big issue so I bought these knowing I would need to adjust them.Be warned, they are pretty stiff (which is a good thing) so it takes a lot of force to bend them in to shape, and once you do, it won't look very pretty.ALSO make sure you adjust them while they are NOT ON the stands! mine's were leaning in a little too much, so I tried to adjust them out and the entire top (the little flat base) started ripping off the stand poles. I'll probably need to solder it back on since now the stand is essentially useless. One broke... Amazon replaced it, but big hassle overall October 23, 2013 The quality of these is probably pretty good overall, judging from the reviews, but I experienced the problem shared by another reviewer: a broken top platform. Apparently, these are spot welded at the top, where the vertical tube attaches to the metal platform that in turn holds your speaker. However, the unit I bought was missing the weld at top, so after installing these, one day the left speaker just fell over, taking the top platform with it. Obviously, as this unit passed down the assembly line, someone was asleep at the wheel... er, spot welder.In the end, and without question, Amazon replaced the defective unit, but I went through the hassle of having to install these twice, uninstall one set, package it up and carry to the post office for return.The base of these is made of heavy cast metal, containing a threaded hole that fits and locks into the vertical pole that in turn holds the speakers up. This part of the assembly is pretty substantial, except that the bases are deeper than they are wide, meaning that they lack lateral stability. On carpet, the base has a tendency to lean or fall over, especially if the speaker you attach weighs more than two or three pounds. The vertical pole that runs from the base to your speaker at top is adjustable, but uses a plastic collar for tightening that can be stripped easily.If you are mounting speakers that are small in form, and that weigh about 2 pounds or less (and if you're lucky enough to get a set that has been manufactured properly), you'll probably be happy with these. Yamaha 597s don't fit; plastic shims are achilles heel January 29, 2013 I was under the impression that these were compatible with Yamaha 597 speakers. The stands come with two sizes of screws to secure into the back of the speakers; neither fits the hole in the back of the Yamaha speakers. You have to use the adhesive on the bottom of the speakers to secure them to the flat plate on top of the speaker stand.Also, the manufacturer uses a threaded plastic shim under the height adjustment ring. If the plastic shim breaks and loses its one-piece integrity, the stand won't stay telescoped, it will drop down to its lowest height unless you jimmy-rig some other way to keep it telescoped (glue, etc). On arrival, the plastic shim under the tightening ring on one stand was already broken into two pieces, the other was shattered into several pieces. The first one worked with the shim carefully positioned together under the ring, the second could not keep its jigsaw puzzle arrangement under the adjustment ring well enough to secure the stand.Too bad they chose to use plastic for such a crucial part. It's as if someone made a great car, but decided to mold the axles in plastic. Quality metal product looks like a million bucks, feels like it would last a hundred years, but that plastic part renders it worthless if/when it breaks.I returned the stands for refund.**Update: Originally rated these as one star because of the plastic threaded shims. After researching speaker stands for hours and hours, it looks like that's a near-universal design. I added one star to make two. It's still a terrible design flaw (the shim should be thin metal in a C-shape to allow for compression). I guess that makes 95% of adjustable speaker stands 2-star quality in my book! Guess I'll have to re-order. Next time, when the plastic breaks, I'll just telescope the stands to the height I want, drill a hole, and use a metal screw to secure. | 6% Good until they go bad September 18, 2017 Was great to start with, but after about 6 months both of the rear speakers are popping and go in and out. Not so happy with this purchase anymore. My last speakers lasted more than a decade. Died after a month September 4, 2017 The sound bar system was good while it worked, but after a month it would not turn on. I tried everything I could, but the device would not power on. I'm glad I bought the warranty, as this piece of junk is getting shipped back. Now I have to find a box big enough and pack all the crap back in as I threw away the original package.A word to the wise: if you still want to buy this product - buy the warrantee and KEEP THE BOX. Great product, doesn’t work August 23, 2017 I give it two stars because when it worked it worked beautifully. However after using it twice it stopped working and wouldn’t turn on. I returned it and got a full refund. If you are thinking about buying this I suggest spending the extra money to buy it new instead of “like new”. Maybe then you won’t run into the same problems I did No good June 29, 2017 We have had this product for less than six months and the sound continues to go out on us. In a typical one hour timeframe, we can expect the sound bar to go completely mute at least six times. It is absolutely ridiculous and we are ready to throw it in the trash. Two Stars January 27, 2017 Poor quality and shows signs of use. Has damage to unit where it does not work properly | 5% There are no reviews yet | 9% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
One Star Reviews: | 3% Don't buy it if you use banana plugs March 28, 2017 It's very annoying to assemble, and when I was done, I found that because I use banana plugs on my setup, they would not fit (as you can see in the image).I returned this item Regret this purchase. August 10, 2016 The base is nowhere near heavy enough to counter the weight of a speaker on top. Set these up 1 week ago and they have already fallen over 3 times. Looks bad if you dont have them covered with their backs against a wall, the wires are exposed coming out the back. The single screw with which to attach your speaker was not enough to keep my speakers held up and now they awkwardly balance on the frame and are also screwed on at an angle (my speakers are not cubes and don't have 90° angles on the back). High Expectations, but fell short. August 8, 2016 I was so excited to set up our surround sound system. I recently also purchased my vizio SB4051-D5 soundbar system. While setting it up I realized that the stands were way too big for the speakers. The mount is too big and the wired brace that holds in place sticks out. If I center the speaker, then the wires will stick out too much. I included pictures and I am hoping that Atlantic will help me solve this problem.Now the speaker sets off centered and the mount shows a lot. The wires stick out and I am hoping my young ones don't hurt themselves or scrap their eye on it. Wanted To Like Them, But They Fall Just Short March 3, 2014 I bought these after reading the great reviews, and the feedback saying they worked great with the Energy Take Classic speakers (which I bought as well). Sadly, this is not the case.First off, the stands are cheaply made. I don't care what anyone says, the adjustment knob in the middle breaks easily, and the screws that hold the base that the speaker sits on get in the way of concealing the wires (I was using 16 gauge). I tried the use one screw method, and my speakers hobbled around like a boxer struggling to stay up. I tried the upside down method, they hung on the edge of the base as if they were contemplating audio suicide.Then of course if someone sneezes, nay if a light breeze blows by...these suckers are on the ground.Needless to say, I am returning them, and attempting to find something that actually works. Will they work with other speakers? Maybe light cheap ones. I'd get something else if I were you. Terrible Quality Control November 29, 2011 I ordered two sets of these speakers and each package had a defective stand. The first order arrived with a hole that was tapped crooked, so the support pole was wobbly (threads were too shallow to make it stable). After returning them, the second order arrived with a similar problem: the hole was severely off-center from the cast extrusion - enough that there wasn't a solid wall for threads. Again, the support pole was wobbly from lack of - well - support. Any dummy in visual inspection would have caught both of these defects. I will not be trying a third time. Poorly machined December 31, 2010 One of my speaker posts was machined incorrectly and dropped right into the base - the threads didn't even catch. The problem is apparently not unique. Moe33 had a similar, though not as severe issue, documented in a review here on amazon.com. This left me with the dilemma, which I still face, of returning the product or finding a workaround. My workaround, several layers of teflon tape on the threads, at least allowed me to continue assembly, but the post is permanently wobbly and I'm not confident it will last more than a few hours. This set may go back to amazon.The bracket for the speaker mounting bolt pretty much exactly covers the wiring posts on the speaker. I worked around this with some fiddling, a sharp bend in the wire, and a careful inspection to insure I wasn't shorting anything out.Yes, they're inexpensive, but they may get returned and wind up as scrap. No one wins that way.Moe33's product review mentioned above is at this permalink:http://www.amazon.com/review/R30M13AM09K60Q/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000289DC6&nodeID=&tag=&linkCode= | 10% Find you something else! October 24, 2017 Having it play for 30 mns and both the sound bar and subwoofer stopped at the same time. The led gave no more signal of life! If you have a new model TV, this is One Old Worthless Piece of Junk. October 12, 2017 This sound bar is an old piece of junk and is worthless if you have a new TV. This 2014 model year sound bar is completely obsolete and is not compatible for auto turn on with any modern TV. If you need to connect an old model TV with RCA jacks, this is the sound bar you need. Without an HMDI port this soundbar has very limited applications. If you have a newer TV, buy a soundbar that has a HMDI or HMDI ARC port. Everything worked great for the first 15 months September 15, 2017 Everything worked great for the first 15 months. I received a lot of compliments on the sound whether it was when watching TV or music being played through bluetooth. Eventually, the sub gave out (satellite speakers still work) which is why I'm writing this review. Great product while it worked but stopped working in a short amount of time. I would stay away from this product. I would not recommend to anyone September 5, 2017 I should have trusted the other negative reviews on here. I regularly have the audio cut out on me. I would not recommend to anyone. Terrible quality and terrible service January 29, 2017 Terrible. I was pleased with it at first, but stated to notice issues, like a rattling sound coming from one of the satellite speakers at certain pitches, instead of the intended tone. The volume also fluctuates up and down on its own constantly, cutting down to a low volume, then fading back up over the course of about ten seconds. This gets very annoying.And then there's the sound bar.I paid a couple hundred bucks for this surround sound system. The satellite speakers and subwoofer are all controlled through the sound bar.(so they won't work for anything if there's something wrong with the sound bar) Just after the one year warranty expired the sound bar quit working, due to a burned out power supply. There was no power surge or storm or anything. All other elections in the house were fine and it was even plugged into a surge protector. The part was just a bad quality or a bad apple. I tried to get a hold of customer support to do something about it. It took them a week to get back to me, and in the end they told me the warranty was up, so too bad, I just have to fork over another couple hundred bucks to buy a new one. Forget that. I will never buy another Vizio product again. Terrible quality and terrible service. | 8% There are no reviews yet | 35% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
