    How sturdy are they? Do they attach to the speaker or sit on top?

    They just sit on top, but the stands are stable. I also used the self-adhesive Neoprene pads that come with the stands and they help to stabilize the speaker a bit more.

    How high up are the speakers on the stands? I too was thinking of FXi30s on stands.

    brentman0110,

    Hey I have my FX300i's on some Wood Technology FGH-31 stands. 31" tall have the speakers right at ear level when sitting down, real close to th height of the RT 1000i's too. Got them at Crutchfield for $74.99 Work fine look ok.

    Thats all I got to say ...

    I have mey FXI 30 sitting on Sanus NF 36 inch stand, which are the tallest stand that are made for that particular line. I still feeel that they are sitting too low. Surround sound speakers should be elevated to a height of about 6 - 7 feet off the ground. With these stand they sit maybe at 4 1/2 feet above the ground..

    My Sanus stands are 24" high, and when I bought them I was under the impression that the tweeters needed to be at ear level, so now they are. But, I also hear about surrounds needing to be about 6.5' off the floor, or something like that, but I didn't want to wall-mount them just yet, and they do sound great where they are right now. I may wall-mount them later when I have the time and inclination to do the inside wiring.
