Good Morning,

I recently purchased a pair of RTi A3 speaker and some Sanus SF30 speaker stands.

I was wonding if anyone had any recomendations on what is the best way to attach the speakers to the stands.

Is it safe to screw directly into the speakers to attach them if I use some shallow depth screws?

thanks in advance.

    It is safe yes, but a lot of people don't want to screw into their nice speakers. You can always velcro or use rubber pads.

    +1. I use velcro on my Monitor 40's which are wallmounted about 7ft in the air. Works great. I have also used blue tack on speakers with good results (wouldnt do that if your not on stands though)

    Blue Tack.

    Welcome to CP.

    i would use velcro or blue tack. i would just go to your local harware store and they should have something to suit your need but i wouldnt screw into a speaker.
