Hello again my friends - this time I need some help finding tall and sturdy speaker stands for large bookshelf speakers for the PC's 5.1 surround speakers.
I rearranged the PC setup while finishing this 5.1 surround system for it to hopefully keep everything out of the way from being bumped into but as I'm a bit taller than average, seated ear level height at the desk means that the speaker tweeters are likewise a bit higher than typical.
For the front L and R on the desk I have them on some bookshelf speaker stands which from the floor are about 39 inches up. I found these speaker stands on Amazon which are adjustable up to that height and technically can hold my SVS Ultra bookshelves weight-wise and width-wise but after getting them set up are super flimsy and seem like a strong gust of wind from opening/closing a door quickly will topple them:
Also, their clamp bracket is not really tall enough to securely grab the sides of the speakers due to their angled cut shape and they're a bit tricky to balance because the speaker is larger than the floor base plate and much larger than the top plate.
This all being said, I'm having trouble finding large/sturdy/stable stands that won't be so flimsy and can properly support a speaker of this size. It seems that most stands are around 20-30 inches and I need something that's more 39-40 inches tall. Do you guys know of anything that would work or am I likely going to just need to find someone who can make something custom for me out of wood? Don't need anything pretty, just functional.
