How to you make the speaker stick the stand?

[mugupo]

Blutac or Velcro? where can i buy it from?

[Johnny Vinyl]

Is this a real question, seriously?

Stick to the stand? You know, if it is going to fall, it's going to fall regardless of being stuck to it or not, center of gravity and all that...

Try Blu-Tack. It works great. I learned that from a high end audio dealer. The shop owner said besides holding the speaker firmly to the stand it also decouples the speaker from the stand too. I went there looking for threaded spikes (metric sizes) to screw into the bottom of my heavy Tannoys. They aren't supplied with the speakers. He had some spikes but recommended that I use small beads of Blu-TacK instead (ca. 4 mm diameter). He actually gave me a pack to try. It worked superbly well. The bass was firm and tight. Very nice. I went back and offered to pay him but he said keep it. The secret is to keep the four beads small like I said. More is not better in this case. The stuff will flatten out into a thin layer while still having sufficient strength to hold the speaker firmly in place.

Wire coat hanger, duck tape and some hot glue; can't go wrong with that combination!

Why is welding not an option?!

that would also get my vote.
If you are looking for a quick way to get the job done, might i recommend some bailing wire and just tie them down.

[JJ]

Yes, you could tie them down, but only if you use Audiophile grade rope. I hear Nordost is expanding into the nylon rope business, might want to give that a try.

The bottom of the speakers are pre-threaded, and the stands came with the hardware......


OP, if you're speaker manufacturer doesn't have stands that address the issue.... then I think Duct tape is the way to go.... wrap it around (top over bottom) about 15 times........ you can get Black Duct Tape if you're trying to go for that classy look

Mine are screwed on from the bottom and they are a custom build.
I think Beta Man is onto something but use the Red Green gray duct tape and maybe do a a crisscross pattern giving them a sixty's look

I use this Sh** on everything...

I looked for blue tack awhile back but couldnt find it, so I just got good high quality poster gum stuff by 3M. Worked great, and left no residue at all. The speaker and the stand became all one piece. I could pick up the speaker itself and have the stand stay connected while off the ground. Much harder to knock over as well since the base of the stand was pretty wide.

I guess one could always use some ratchet straps over the top of the speaker and under the top of the speaker stand.

I 2nd the Blutack... works wonders! Holds my surrounds onto the stands very well.

I coudln't find it anywhere so I just bought some off eBay.
