I just bought four PSB Alpha A/V satellites for my HT, but I don't know what kind of speaker stand to put them on. I'm confused because all kinds of different companies make speaker stands. Are the speakers actually attacked to the stand? Is there a common size? How can I make sure the stands that I buy will safely and securely hold my speakers?

Look at Target speaker stands...although very expensive.

A cheaper alternative would be Sanus (www.sanus.com)

I would use some poster gum or some stuff called BluTak between the speaker and the stand's baseplate.

Thanks...I decided to go with the Furniture Works RC1 A/H speaker stands (adjustable platform up to about 9"). I will put some sort of putty to attach the speakers, though.

Can I ask a really stupid question?

I have a pair of Klipsch speakers for which I've been trying to find a stand. All of the stands I've seen seem to cater to the "bookshelf" size speakers. My Klipsch speakers are somewhat larger than that.

Could someone recommend something along the lines of speaker "pedestals?" I simply can't see drilling holes into the bottom of my speaker cabinets to accomodate the speaker stands that are always mentioned.

Lovan makes stands for larger speakers (including some floor standers).
I think audioadvisor has them.

How high do you want the stands to be? I've seen quite wide platforms on speaker stands between 18" - 30" tall. Try looking for Furniture Works, Sanus, or Wood Technology brands.
