Hello, I have a pair of Tascam VL-X5 Nearfield Monitors that I use with my digital piano and for audio listening. These things are very deep: 7.5"x11.5". They are about 15 lbs (7 kgs).

My question is, what stands are good for this?

Guitar Center has these on sale which look perfect:

(can't post complete URLs yet)

But they are only 9" square on the top. Can I get away with a 9" plate for speakers that are 11.5" deep? I have never bought real speaker stands so I am clueless.

I also noticed these:

Which have a 12" square plate, but they aren't height adjustable like the other ones.
