These seem quite sturdy, but why a speaker weight max of only 22 lbs?? You'd think they would be more robust than that.

like any item you have a max. my speakers weigh about 18lbs and all is good with the stands.

It should handle better than 22lbs but the top is glass, and not sure how they handling heavier speakers while playing in the long run.

Strictly guessing, but I would say liability, reduced warranty claims (most items are overbuild 75-150%) and weight distribution. The heavier speakers will likely have the load points out toward the edges for balance purposes, but the edges/corners of these stands are unsupported tempered glass. The only support to the glass is in the center where the 2 columns meet the glass. They're likely worried about the glass breaking and your speakers getting damaged from too much weight away from the support points (columns). I have my JBL Studio L820s on these. Those speakers weigh in at 19lbs and are used as my surrounds. They don't wobble or seem to stress the stands at all. It's also worth noting, that these are designed for bookshelf speakers, if you put anything very tall on them, that could cause them become too top heavy and be prone to tipping.

I don't know why they only put a max weight of 22 lbs. I can stand on mine. They do rely on tension to hold the shape but it shouldn't be that limiting. I'd say I would confidently put 50 lbs on there with no worries.

I'm not completely sure, but I have 25 pound Bose speakers mounted to mine and it didn't cause any strain at all on the stands so I would think that they could handle at least twice as much weight, if not a bit more.

The answer is no. The most they will handle is 100lbs. Above 100lbs all bets are off! I returned my pair for a refund. They bent after the first use. I was very disappointed.

They are sturdy and look like they could hold the weight of that size TV. My concern would be over time would the speaker housing joints weaken to the point of cracking and splitting.

I used an omnimount ceiling mount that was barely rated for the weight of these speakers but since i was suspending them from the ceiling but letting the bottom edge lean against the wall they are more than adequate. If the weight of the speaker is depending on that little ball to hold it in an exact position I suspect it would move over time.

yeah the stands can handle that kinda weight. My speakers weigh almost 50 lbs each and these stands handle the weight. I would advise against "sliding" the stands around after the speakers have been placed upon them, however.

These are rather well constructed hangers -- though designed to hold weight bearing upon the mounting plate. Not supporting hanging weight. My speakers may weight about 25 lbs each. Using and mounting them as designed they work perfect for me. I would not attempt to hang my speakers placing the mounting assembly upside down. You can make anything work -- actually.

I'm using them as a support for a shelf over my fire place and not putting anything more than knick knacks on it. I wouldn't put anything heavier than that and a few books. Call it 20 pound load at most.

I my opinion they should work fine for that purpose. The speaker cabs I used them on were'nt nearly that heavy but i also leaned downward while pushing them so I think I prob. had 200# on them with absolutely no probs.

I forget how much they're rated to carry but they are awsome speaker stands. I have two of them. I use them with my Passport PD150 system. If you screw them into a stud, I'd imagine you can put 150 lbs no problem. YOu'll want to check out what they are rated for though. But I can tell you this, they are very solid!Have fun!!-Ken

I agree with Bruce. They are fairly sturdy, if you lay them flat they are more rigid...I would say if the weight is distributed evenly and no sharp indentations are made, they could probably support 20-30 lbs each without being damaged.

The weight is fine, I'd just be careful that the base dimension of the speaker not be bigger than the platform. That said, these are very heavy-duty stands.

Not only could the height-adjusting screw (plastic-made) have trouble supporting that weight, but the triangular bases wouldn't ensure great stability with larger speakers. In light of my experience with those stands, I wouldn't try it.

The base is quite heavy and the stand is metal, so it should be able to support at least several pounds of weight. However, these have very specific attachment for speakers, and you need to see if the Pure Acoustics have the same screw holes.

I gave them as a gift. When I unpacked them they seemed very sturdy but I would do a little more research and maybe see if you could contact the manufacturer before purchasing this item.

Yes that is correct. Did you look at the specs? Each speaker is 28.7 lbs. They are 40 5/8" tall. I would say in speaker terms this is pretty light for the sheer size of the speakers. http://www.onkyousa.com/Products/model.php?m=SKF-4800&class;=Speaker

According to Amazon the speakers weigh 2lbs. if purchased as single speakers.I did not weigh mine, but they they feel about 2 lbs. They are compact but sturdy. I relly enjoy the quality!David
