Speaker stands

Kresto

Hello everyone, new to the forums and a little green on HT. I'm looking for advise on speaker stands for my rear ch speakers. I've got the TSi100's and want to put them on stands in the corners.
We have a lamp/coffee table in the one corner and the other has nothing. My plan is to move OR remove the coffee table and put the speakers in their place on stands. I'd like to have them around 3' tall (give or take) unless some of you know of a better listening height (again, I'm new)
Which stands support these speakrs? Any and all help much appreciated.

Thank you!

Could you possibly wall mount them? I believe that they are light enough and have a bracket on the back to do so.

Check out www.partsexpress. for a stand. You didn't mention anything about price...

The first is ~$55 and the second ~$160.

Thanks Jin, those are exactly what I'm looking for Like I said, a little green on some of this stuff. I think the speakers can be wall mounted, however the wifey doesn't want anything on the walls, hence the stand idea.
Thanks again!!

You're very welcome Kresto. If you decide to get a metal stand, be sure to fill it with either sand or lead shot, as it will reverberate.
For surrounds I feel a 30-36" height stand would be best, and I've found that having the tweeter at or just above ear level sounds best.

BTW. Welcome to the Club!!!

After you get the stands, look at the options to fill them (lead shot or sand), and spike them. Makes a difference (although carrying 2 70 lb stands is not fun).

Thanks guys for all your help and advise. I'm so glad a friend referred me to this site, like I said, I'm green with all this stuff but I now feel I have a group of pro's to help me out.

Thanks again!
