Does anyone here own a pair of speaker stands from this brand? Are they any good? I'm thinking about ordering a pair of the NF36B's for my JBL E50s. It's hard to find something to match them because they weigh 25 lbs. which is massive for bookshelf speakers.

I've been using 2 pair, for my surrounds (Klipsch RB35) and rears (Klipsch SS3). For their price, they are well built and do what I need them to.

I made my own for my polk audio R-20 speakers and it cost me 12 bucks.

david you have a PM

I have a pair, I suppose you picked that model because its the tallest right?


My guess is that your also a little concerned that it may be a bit tippy with your heavy JBL?

Well I have heavy Rocket RS-150s on mine, and yes they are a bit tippy.


If its out of a traffic area, and you have no kids or dogs that might run into it, you should be ok. Otherwise you may want to figure out a way to make it more steady, like attaching a slab of marble to the bottom of the stand.


I've had one tip over once, and it did damage my speaker slightly...

The ones I built are made of hdfb and they are a bit sturdier than the sanus stands.

I'm using the Sanus with the spikes attached on wall to wall carpeting. I stepped on the bases to make sure the spikes punctured the carpet, and that seems to have anchored them fairly well. Still, adding a little extra weight to the base wouldn't be a bad idea.

I purchased a pair of Sanus speaker stands for my new bookshelves and they were terrible. I had to return them.


1. the spikes were uneven.

2. The opening to mass load them was too small to use a funnel and would have taken too long to use.

3. the speaker wire guide was torn on one of the stands.


I paid quite a bit locally for them and quickly returned them.


hope this helps
