Title: Speaker stands
Post by: Happy Ghost on March 12, 2022, 02:25:05 PM

Hi,

Does anyone have recommendations for good speaker stands. I am looking for something for my Overnight Sensations MTM (9 x 6 inch top).

Thanks in advance!

Hi Happy Ghost,

One question that comes to mind is the height of the stands you want. For small speakers like the O.S., I've had good luck with plant stands. I've even used them with larger bookshelf or slightly bigger (Dynaco A-25's), too.

Here are some ideas along those lines:

As a plus, when standing smaller speakers on a plant stand, sometimes there's also room for...a small plant. Hey, people used to play music for their plants, didn't they?

I was thinking of something 2.5 - 3 ft tall..

I like the idea of putting small plants .. But I have 3 cats in the house... No self respecting kitty kitty will ever tolerate that  ;D :D
