Digital camera reviews of Atlantic Satellite 77305018 2 Speaker Stands (Black)
Digital camera Review: Assemble this product carefully.
Summary: 3 Stars
I read the reviews before purchasing this item. I did my home work. there was the good, the bad and the ugly. I found for the price this set served my purpose for my tiny Sony rear surround speakers. I'm sure it can handle much larger speakers given the base size and it's weight. I figured I could work around the problems others have had. With that said I will talk about assembly.
The cast base threads are crap as well as the threads on the uprights which are much better than the base threading. The machine was having a bad day when it tapped these speaker stand bases. I'm mechanically inclined and had to be very careful not to cross thread them. When screwing in it's very sloppy, not tight at all like threads should be. I guess that why they give you threaded lock rings that tighten down against the base because even after being all the way screwed in the uprights were wobbly an unstable (bad base threading). Once I tightened the lock rings down all was solid and stable. They have good height when fully extended. The twist locking grip is plastic and others have said it's fragile but I had no problem giving it a moderate good snug to get it to hold without putting all my strength into it like others might have done.
I'm pleased with my purchase but gave the 3 star rating because of the poor threading on the base and uprights. This could be a problem for others who don't have a gentle touch and are in a hurry to assemble. I would purchase the same item again if I had the choice and for the price it's a good deal.

I bought these stands for my Bose lifestyle V-20 work great. Did not have to drill any holes used the screw that come with it. little tip: run the wire thru the pipe first than extend it out.Digital camera Review: Atlantic 77305018 Satellite Speaker Stands (Black)

For the price, these speaker stands are hard to beat. I bought two pair (one each for the front and surround speakers). Easy to assemble, and very sturdy. I have Cambridge Sound Works speakers that are fairly heavy (at least 10 lbs each), and the stands handle them fine.Digital camera Review: Atlantic 77305018 Satellite Speaker Stands (Black)

Good solid product. Had a problem threading one of the poles completely into the base. I also needed to use a bracket to mount my speakers because they were taller.Digital camera Review: Atlantic 77305018 Satellite Speaker Stands (Black)

Nice and sleek easy to install. My speakers are 9lbs and it took 20 minutes to assemble whole set. Stands are adjustable and hides the speaker cables. I would definitely recommend this product.
