This guy spends hundreds on a pair of stands and then installs them upside down? Funny...

Man, they look like they could hold 500lb speakers!

Viking built?

I'm not convinced that they are stands at all. they look like 2 single post table bases. The smaller end screws into a table top ? it's just too small of a platform to have such a big base. a larger table top mounted to the small platform seems more likely.

No they absolutely speaker stands and they are indeed upside-down. The big base goes on the floor and the speakers sit on the little platform. The screws under the speaker platform are pointed set-screws and do not screw into a tabletop.

Clearly being used in a household that does not have small children or large pets.

Batman can set up his speakers any way he wants .

Legit technique to uncouple them from the floor with a smaller footprint.

"foot print" be damned! If one of those fall on the dog/cat or what ever...they are gone.

Dude, I know it isn't 4/1 but you thought I was serious?

Not really. Just having a good day. OK?

My good deed for the day. Wrote the seller and told him he has the stands upside down in his photo... Hope it helps with his sale...

And ruin everyone's fun?

Actually, I did too, but it seems he doesn't care. Maybe we should send him the link to this thread?

 

[BilboBaggins]

He even replied to me and said he knows. I guess he's in no position to turn them rightside up.
