Speaker stand for LSi7
I tried wallmounting the LSi7's yesterday on the same spot where the FXi3s used to be and they came right off, leaving a big hole on the wall :mad: They're quite a bit heavier than the FXi's.
So time for plan B. I'm looking for a stand that can handle at least a 30 lbs load, adjustable up to 60", with good cable management so I can hide the speaker wires, and also fillable with sand or lead for more stability. This is important because one of the stands will be directly facing a giant sub. I don't want it to rock back and forth and land on my head when the pods emerge in War of the Worlds.
I haven't been able to find one that fits all these requirements. Any ideas?

Sanus Steel Foundation series.I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

I use B-Tech BT-77's for my LSi7's. Have worked great for over 2 years at any volume level.
Highly recommended.

BTW - for those who want a really secure mounting to their b-tech stands without screws - try this...Mains.............Polk LSi15 (Cherry)
Center............Polk LSiC (Crossover upgraded)
Surrounds.......Polk LSi7 (Gloss Black - wood sides removed and crossovers upgraded)
Subwoofers.....SVS 25-31 CS+ and PC+ (both 20hz tune)
Pre\Pro...........NAD T163 (Modded with LM4562 opamps)
Amplifier.........Cinepro 3k6 (6-channel, 500wpc@4ohms) -
The BT-77 is an excellent mount and the zip tie suggestion is a great idea. I used fishing line to secure mine but whatever keeps you from drillin holes, is fine by me.CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

That looks like a good alternative. I'm not discounting it just yet but I wanna look at as many options as possible to see what would work best in this scenario

DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't believe I didn't think of using fishing line. Talk about over-engineering a solution...Mains.............Polk LSi15 (Cherry)

I'd been eyeballing those for my RTi 6's, BUT says max depth 13" -- are the LSI's shallower than the RTi's (the 6's are 14 1/4 deep) or is the 13" max listing just a guideline...LR Setup:
Polk RTi10's, RTi6's, CSiA6 (5 ch setup)
Onkyo 705 & Denon 3808ci Receiver, Onk 875
Parasound 2250 Amp
Sony 26" KDL series Bravia LCD
Panny DMR-EH75 Recorder
Panny DVD-F87 (5 disk DVD player)
NAD T585 (DVD/SACD)
Yamaha DVD-C961 (5 disk SACD/DVD)
SciAnt Explorer 8500HD Cable Box
Orig & 5Gen iPods, , Wii
Plans/Fantasies:
400 disk player that handles ALL formats, sounds as good as NAD with Panasonic interface & compatability.
