Hi again, David. Search for the product "Atlantic Satellite 77305018 2 Speaker Stands (Black)" and you'll see what I uploaded three user images there (just below the actual picture of the product). I left some notes on how its mounted, based on the Stands' provided instructions.Happy mounting.

Thanks James! I was about to order them today, but the guys over at Best Buy said I might have to modify the mounts, but Crutchfield told me they would fit perfectly so I don't know who to believe. Dave

David, I actually ordered this set as well as those very speaker stands. So if you can wait until Monday or Tuesday I will let you know if they mount correctly :)

James I can't thank you enough. I just ordered them a few minutes ago after reading your reply!

I was thinking about the Atlantic Satellite 77305018 but I don't know if they will mount correctly with the speakers.

David, the mounts are fine for the speaker stands. The stands come in a set of two and with that a set of two screws/mounts etc. There are two types of screws available directly with the speaker, and the first one I tried fit fine. :)There is an L shaped piece of metal that supports the speaker, and the speaker wires can go around it. Please contact me directly (is that possible here?) and I can send you pictures!

Thanks Ben. I don't know too much about speakers so I appreciate your input. I have this TV and I can tell you that there are two separate sets of cables, as you anticipated for the R & L speaker..I guess I should think about 6.1 or just get a separate center speaker. On the other hand, could you let me know if, when reading the manual, you saw anything about setting it up through the on screen menu? Some TVs can simply set the TV speaker output to center speaker..Thanks!

I was wondering the same thing. It's a shame onkyo doesn't list compatible stands on their website. I've been searching and not finding anything. I just got my system and will take it out of the box and see what we are looking at. Do you ever find anything usefull for mounting or just stands?

Yea that's basically it, we used 12 gauge monster cables but just make sure to measure so that you'll have enough cable to set up all the speakers because the first time we bought the cables we didn't have enough for the rear left speaker.... And I agree with JR, you should buy a subwoofer :}

I bought the SANUS SYSTEMS BF-31B Wood Speaker Stands for the fronts and the backs. They work fine as along as you do not have any kids running around. The front speakers as you know are very top heavy. I bought some Quakehold! 88111 Museum Putty and put it in all 4 corners on the stands just for a little reassurance. So far everything is working well. The stand have spikes on the bottom and little felt pads which are nice additions. Let me know what you end up doing.

Am I the only one that finds it ironic that... once you find speaker stands that are of decent quality, you could have just bought tower speakers from the beginning, which would not only be more stable, but would likely sound better as well?

The cheapest, easy fix would be to just wire your surround back speaker (which is what the one directly behind you is designated in a 6.1 system, not sure why it's not just called 'rear center') into both of the outputs in the receiver marked 'left rear and right rear'.The alternative would be to use the S-Air wireless feature and add the extra speakers that way.

I was also frustrated that mounting the speakers were not straight forward. I solved the problem by ordering the following mounts from Amazon: VideoSecu 2 Black Universal Satellite Speaker Mounts / Brackets for Walls and Ceilings 1EH.VideoSecu 2 Black Universal Satellite Speaker Mounts / Brackets for Walls and Ceilings 1EH (Black, 2 Pack)Good luck

AFAIK, there is no way to mount speakers to this stand. You could use adhesive of some sort, but that would be a permanent solution. The stand I bought got 'wobbly' at the top plate, so I would suggest looking at other models/brands for a mounting solution rather than risking your speakers.

I don't quite understand your question. However I do have my speakers in the vertical position and on their individual stands. They are positioned on each rear side of a Panasonic 60" hdtv. They are behind the outside edge of the tv and angled out about 45 degrees and are out of sight from persons viewing the tv. There is plenty of wire left so that the speakers could be moved significantly further apart if so desired. The height (length?) of a speaker in this setup is 17" including the stand. Hope this answers your question even though it is probably more than you wanted to know. Also, this speaker system is a huge improvement over the built-in speakers on the tv. I had to return a previous speaker system by Yamaha from Costco as it would not operate thro my Panasonic remote or Comcast remote. The SC-HTB20 is connected through the hdmi arc and works the volume and on/off with the Panasonic and Comcast remotes. If you have to go with an optical cable rather than hdmi arc, you will probably have to use the speaker system remote for volume and on/off.

Hello.There are guides all over the Internet, but I would recommend going to Dolby's website. There is an interactive Home Theater Speaker Guide that will allow you to select speaker quantity, distance from the television and sitting area, and will give you angles for each speaker.The 7.1 Speakers does have four rear speakers. The two back speakers are generally set up at the edges of the sitting area, angled inwards toward the center of sitting area. The two rear speakers are set up on the sides of the sitting area and angled in slightly towards the center of the viewing area.Hope this helps.Scott Hello.There are guides all over the Internet, but I would recommend going to Dolby's website.

Yes it comes with two stands for rear speakers. One bit of caution my sub woofer already gave out. Very disappointing.

Yes, I have the same system, we love it, it's the best all-around system out there and these are the best stands for the money. When you hook the wire into the rear speakers use a 90 degree connector, you can get from radio shack or best buy. just show them the wire you are using and tell them you need a 90 degree connector. again the connector goes on the rear speakers and will be helpful when you install speakers to speaker stands. this will all make since when you go to install rear speakers. enjoy CWN

You can use just about any speaker as a rear surround, although you would not be using these speakers to their full potential. These speakers have a higher range than what is normally used in surround speakers (low to high), therefore, you end up with expensive surround speakers. Tower speakers are typically used as front speakers in a 2.1 or 3.1 setup. If you have the money to spend, I guess "why not?". But if you want bang for your buck, use these as front speakers and buy some nice rear surround speakers and save some space.

Ultimately they should be mounted slightly behind the listening position At ear level (for a 5.2 system) which would require speaker stands.However if for some reason this is not practical I would suggest using the side wall

Sorry, I'm a newbie at home theater stuffs, but why do we need a separate "subwoofer cable"? Won't the speaker wires work? I'm using a HTiB and they all use one type of speaker cables, even the subwoofer. I'm just curious as I'm about to get this system and have to learn how to set it up with a receiver. Thanks.
