Speaker stands or mounts for rear speakers (1 Viewer)

[kenp2600]

I originally planned on wall mounting my rear speakers but due to the shape of my room, I think they will be better on pedestals. I could probably ceiling mount them if there aren't any good stand options though. I've looked at a few department stores for stands (I don't have any dedicated HT stores nearby) and they only carry ones for small speakers (2-4 pounds they say). I'm not sure what my speakers weigh, but I'd guess it's more like 20-25 pounds. They are pretty nice Paradigms (I can't tell you the model or exact size off the top of my head since I'm at work but I think they are about 18 inches high and maybe 8-10 inches wide).

Can someone recommend a good set of stands or ceiling mounts that will support heavier speakers?

Thanks!

I've recently been looking for some tall stands for rears as well. These are currently at the top of my list:
MS-45B2 Studio Monitor Stand
Although at $200 street price, I'm considering just building my own stands out of MDF instead.
Some other options you might be interested in:

Hope this helps,

Take a look at the high mass 24" stands at Parts-Express.com - Speakers, Speaker Building, Home Audio and Video, Pro Audio, Electronic Parts & Accessories part number 240-744. They are $110 and are quite hefty at 26lbs each, unfilled. Mine measure at ~26" with the included spilkes, and my speakers are 38lbs each.

This is what I did for my Paradigms. Check them out. They look very neat.
