JamesDL Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 I have RB-75's as my main speakers and have them on speaker stands I bought from Axiom Audio. My concern is that the platform the speaker sits on is too small for the rather large 75's. It is 6 inches square, and the speaker is 10x12. So far I havent had any problems with them falling, but the setup seems a little wobbly and insecure, although the stands themselves are sturdily built. The base is large, sitting on 3 spikes on the carpet about 14 inches apart from one another, so that is not a problem. How do I use the threaded holes on the bottom of the speakers to attach them to the stands? Would it be a good idea to bolt a larger platform to the existing platform? I also think I read somewhere about filling the center support column with shot to make it heavy? I would appreciate any advice you guys can give, or ideas you have tried that have worked.

T2K Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Seems to me that the stand base is large enough for the speaker. You could fill the stands with play sand to make them heavier and possibly sturdier if bumped. Or you could fill them with lead shot as I did, makes them really heavy/dead. Cost me about $16 for #8 shot. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
