I have a glass-top and steel frame TV stand. Do the down-firing woofers create strong vibrations?

If you crank it up you can feel it but as long as the unit is level vibration should be minimal

I have an oak entertainment stand. At high volumes I can feel the vibration on the hardwood floor.

mine is on a wooden shelf about 5 inches below the tv and I have not noticed any vibrations.

The down firing subs give the ZVOX a nice full sound but I do not believe that the vibrations would be strong enough to create problems for you. There is also an output for an external sub on the back of the unit if you want even stronger bass.

We have same type of stand, with no vibrations. The Zvox is on bottom of 3 shelves, and fairly heavy. I am not sure that would be true for the middle or upper shelves. Hope this helps

Can not answer for sure, but would not think "strong vibrations" are created by the woofers. I have mine sitting on an oak stereo cabinet with a 52" TV on top of that.

I don't think it will lower vibration to your neighbors, most of that is from bass, and these speakers stands are not for woofers/subwoofers. Coasters would help to keep YOU from hearing the speaker stands vibrate on a hard floor, though.

There is no vibration against the wall due to the rubber cushions Polk places on the back of the speaker. Any screw will due. Hope this helps

I think yes. The top is a mesh type material but it's a sturdy build. If the base of your tv is wide, it should hold. What I would worry about is the effect it would have in your sound.

I own a pair of JBL Monitors that weigh upwards of 25 lb each and they are on old "wooden stands", since my purchase of the Seismic stands I put a pair of Alesis monitors on them and they seem too light for the stands. Go ahead and load them down I'm sure they can handle at least 50 lbs. I use isolation pads under them also and it helps with any vibration noise experienced with high volumes.

Unfortunately, the unit I got didn't allow separate control of subwoofer volume, and it's pretty strong. The speakers on the bar are the best speakers I've ever owned, and the sub volume hasn't been too much of a problem. I unplug it when I'm using the bar when someone is asleep upstairs.

I have on the top of mine a Yamaha 4500 sound bar system weighing in at 50lbs. Also, my router, Sonos wifi box, and a couple of other small electronics. The glass is well supported by the Sonax frame and is quite thick. I weigh 265 and have put a lot of my weight on the glass standing up from sitting on the floor. I don't know the exact weight it would handle, but I have never been in fear of it breaking. My TV - 65 Panasonic plasma weighs about 70 lbs but it is hanging on a wall stand and not the Sonax.

Just installed with a pair of BS22s this evening. I used some Blu-tak to help hold the speakers to the base, and it seems to be holding just fine. I have them tilted as far downward as they will go, too.

The speaker currently sits on a glass shelf in a home theater setup. Most of the bass in my setup pushes through my subwoofer. With that said, I've never heard vibrations or sounds of any kind other than crisp and clear dialogue and highs. It's heavy, sturdy, and I wouldn't expect it to shake, vibrate, or move around. I hope this helps.

Mine is on a heavy wood media stand. There is "0" vibration. The woofers do not put out the volume that you might like. In other words do not expect the bottom end to sound like a full blown 5.1 speaker system. It's good and fine for watching movies and music videos. I've watched some concerts and musical movies and was satisfied with the result. I was a pro bass player when I was a puppy so I tend to be a bit critical. It's going to pump up your sound but don't expect a "Live" performance sound. I am satisfied with the performance and would buy it again knowing what I do now about it. There is a volume adjustment for the Bass so you can crank it down if you need to. Mine is on a heavy wood media stand. There is "0" vibration.

We mounted it to our patio structure, no problems, no vibrations. Like TimmyD-007 mentioned, we used a stronger bolt. We also hard wired so we can switch them on easier. We have one in each corner. They worked so well we bought 4 for our business!

Yes, maybe a hair too much,when at full volume they do vibrate. I noticed they have a lifetime warranty,which I thought was pretty cool.

Yup. That is what I have on mine. I used the speaker spikes included with the stands and everything works well. I've bumped them slightly a few times while cleaning and while they have rocked a little but I have yet to knock one over. I am happy with them.

This is only my opinion. Removing the stands MAY cause vibration between the speakers and the flat surface. Adding a softer pad underneath as mentioned earlier may help this. Not sure, though. I hope you enjoy these speakers as much as I do.

Yes, though I changed out to vibration attenuating Sorbothane (which is quite sticky) before abandoning these stands as too unstable for my 35 pound near-field monitors.

It does vibrate some, I had the sound bar on top of a DVD player with flat screen on top. With the sound bar turned up loud the DVD player would buzz so we had to rearrange it. To sum it up yes it vibrates with it turned up loud, not so bad when quieter. I probably wouldn't feel comfortable with a projector on top because of this vibrating being that projectors can be a little sensitive to vibration.

Yes - I have 2 of these - excellent sound - I use to raise my TV about 3" or so also and no bar in front to hide other items in front of TV.
