Exceeded expectations

Sony MEXBT3100P Receiver Bluetooth Pandora

Absolutely nothing wrong with these stands. They are 3-footed, which is easy to level but not as stable as 4-footed stands (ever, it's simple physics). If stability is a huge thing for you, don't get a 3-footed stand, but if you get a 4-footed stand and want to use the spikes it will take some work to get all four spikes piercing the carpet and touching the floor at the same time. The single support tube is certainly fillable with sand... I did that with mine. There are holes in the back of the tube to allow you to run your speaker wire through the stand... into the tube at the bottom and out of the tube at the top. Obviously, you'll have to cover those holes with black tape, black racer tape works fine (it's not duct tape because it was never intended to be used on heating/cooling ducts, but it is used a lot in car and motorcycle racing to make temporary repairs, though high-speed racing may require helicopter tape that's thinner and sticks even better). The stand does look like the picture which clearly shows a 3-footed base and a single tube... though if multiple sellers offer this product, one of them might be showing an incorrect photo... the listing I am looking at was for Adorama. The top plate is a bit on the small side for larger bookshelf speakers, but it will hold them securely if you use Fun-Tak or Blu-tak or Blue Tac or Blue Tack or any of the many other similar products (one branded Elmer's is brick-red in color instead of the blue or yellow I see often... flexible and removable adhesive that is sort of like clay but is non-greasy - sold at Staples, Office Max, Office Depot and probably Amazon, possibly some home improvement stores also. 4 blobs at the corners of the top plate, center the speaker, and press it down snugly. Adhesive releases easily enough if you heed to separate speakers and stands and can even be re-used. Note that if you decide to fill the center tube with sand, you should forget about trying to run the speaker cables through the tube also... pick one or the other. The rating for this product applies to it's value as a sub-$50 all metal speaker stand that can be used with or without spikes and has screw holes in the top plate that can be used to more permanently attach speakers to the stands with screws if desired. If you don't use screws, I strongly recommend the flexible adhesive described above.
