I was only referencing their concrete bases, not that they are anywhere near large and heavy enough. Again, what about sinking the base of this height adjustable stand https://www.amazon.com/Stands-M-26720-Monitor-Stand-Black-26720-000-55/dp/B0016ZQYOY?ref_=ast_sto_dp into a round ~ 5" high plastic mold filled with ~55 lbs of concrete?
Just slip this 45 lbs weight over the bottom pole. It is plain on the back side and dished almost perfect for this use. Really no need for secure attachment, but you could use screws if you wanted it that way.
That's pretty bad. I did have management ask my wife and me to stop fighting and throwing things when I lived in an apartment. It was very confusing until we discovered that an old recliner had a spring that would make a loud twang when releasing was the real culprit.
BINGO!!!! Now that's good engineering! I work out with weights almost every night; can't believe this one flew right past me. Maybe a 50 to 55 lb weight if available. But how lucky where that adjustable stand's pole is thin enough to pass through the weight's hole? They don't give the pole diameter here.
You mean standard bar diameter that fits through that hole in the weight is 2"? Again, that pdf doesn't give the pole's diameter. I'll email the brand to find out. BUT will also ask how are the legs of that base constructed. If made of thin sheet metal (plastic??) they're may get eventually damaged with all that heavy steel weight on them if I ever have to reposition them.
Yes.
Am I missing something here? There are bolt heads protruding where the speaker base would be. That seems like a very poor design.Scan pro audio sites like Sweetwater.

A Surfer mentioned that bolts on the plates of those stands. I don't know if they're removable but in any case I've no clue how to safely mount most audiophile speakers to stands, especially cheap ones like those seem to be-or those Gator stands mentioned above and reviewed in that youtube video. Steel pillar stands and which are fillable would likely be ideal if they were height adjustable.
It decouples the speaker from the stand. It also comes with rubber knobs you can use. Or you could just use nothing if you don't care about the stand resonating.
I've read that if you use enough it's pretty secure but I have my doubts. it would be simple to buy some and test it yourself with some kinda box or appliance or anything though.
Standard weight plates have a 25mm diameter hole. Olympic weights have a 2” hole. I’ve never seen one personally. But I’m not a gym rat.
Depends. I use some Aurlex foam pads for my surrounds and center. They decouple, don't mar the finish, and I can angle the center upward and the surrounds downward as I needed them to be. If my speakers were out in the room, I would secure them in some other manner. The foam keeps them from sliding around easily, but otherwise the weight of the speakers just sit upon the stand.
