I finally set up the white K&M 26735 stands with the 19780 adapters, and it turned out to be a bit of a disaster. The stands were ok with the 8341a speakers but were very unstable with the 8351B speakers. The weight of the 8351B speakers, combined with the way the adapter places the speaker out away from the center of the base, made them very tippy. The 8351B was going to fall over without any provocation. It is clear why Genelec's stand, only available in black, places the pole at the back of the base so the weight is centered over the base. Another problem with the K&M stands for this application is that they move the speaker quite a bit farther from the wall out into the room. In this room, that was mainly a problem for the surround speakers. The K&M stands are definitely nice pieces of hardware. The finish is excellent and the quality is first rate.
Going back to the Rockville stands which are a serious bargain in comparison.
