Do people usually just sit their speakers on here or do they somehow mount using the holes at the bottom of the speaker?

The base is very stable so mounting the speakers is not necessary especially if your speakers are bigger than the mounting platform.

The stand has a hole to get through the bottom and speaker base and a flexible vinyl piece to hide the wire up the back of the riser piece

I put self stick velcro on the speaker and the Sanus NF24c speaker stand. I don't have toddlers but I do have large dogs that are clumsy and I've never had the speakers fall off. You might also use putty type glue pads to hold the speakers. I wouldn't drill holes in my speakers for fear of messing up warranty and the sound from my speakers.

You just set them on there. There is no anchor of any type. There are sticky pads that come with the stand. As long as the bottom is flat it won't go anywhere though.

Get yourself some Blu Tack picture mounting putty. Make four pea size balls and put one on each corner of the stand. Put your speaker and the stand and press down FIRMLY. The tack will keep your speakers on the stand with the ability to remove as needed. Just pull speaker off, re-roll balls, do the same thing. No mess, no glue and pretty firmly mounted. The stand of this weight would fall before the speaker came off. I did this with metal stand filled with shot and it would tip those so that should give you a pretty good idea of how well it will hold WITHOUT damaging your finish.

There is no way to mount the speakers easily, so the speakers just sit on them. This is not ideal, as while they are relatively stable they could be knocked off by a precocious child, for example. I would not recommend these stands for anyone with young children. Apart from that they are very attractive and functional.

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

I have used the mounts on the speakers themselves to rest on screws on the wall. Make sure screws hold strong

yes. I bought mounts, but didn't use them. There's a standard hole like in poster frames for just hanging them with a nail in the wall on the back of the speaker.

I didn't, but my speakers are not so large as to seem unstable on the stands. Also, drilling into the speaker cabinets may effect their integrity, and sound quality. If I was worried about them tipping off the stands, I would get larger stands that offer a wider stance thus greater stability.

No mounting holes, and the shape in the back is curved. So drill a small hole to attach to a long nail. Velcro may also work as speakers are light weight.

These speakers have an integrated mount - basically a slot for a screw. Put a screw into your wall in a stud (or a sturdy drywall anchor) and hang the speaker on the screw using the slot on the back of the speaker.

There are little holes that on the backs of the speakers that are meant for a screw head. Just screw a screw (or hammer a nail) into the wall and hang the speakers. Super easy-- Just like a picture frame.

They have key hole brackets on the back of all the speakers. You can hang them on screws or nails.

On top in both cases. I needed a 90 degree drill bit to make holes for the screws at the rear of my deck where the window comes down to meet it. I placed the mounting brackets on the deck where the speakers go, screwed the fronts down because they matched the deck holes there, and drilled the screw holes in the rear of the deck using the bracket holes as my guide.

The speakers actually come with mounting brackets already attached to them and some additional hardware that would make it easy to mount them to the wall. I personally wouldn't drill the speaker enclosures--the finish is much too beautiful. But you won't need to drill into them.

There would not seem to be any restrictions in locating/mounting these little gems. As with all speakers, location will impact the sound quality--positively or negatively.

This speaker is at a friend's house the next town over, so I can't physically look at it. However I have the owner's manual, which says nothing about mounting holes. The little picture in the booklet also does not indicate mounting holes. Mounting it on the wall is not a good idea, anyway. The main power on/off switch is in the back. The power cord and all of the audio cabling hookups are also in the back. If somehow you're able to mount this to a wall, you're going to want about 3" of clearance in the back. Just install a wall shelf and sit the speaker on it.

Normally, all you do with the tall speaker stand bases is run the wires through them up to the speakers, and mount the speakers on top. I see no reason you couldn't mount the speakers somewhere else, but you still have to run the wires to them and you have to mount them somehow. I think there are holes on the speakers that can be used to with mounting screws.

They mount atop of a subwoofer box and then the upper portion mounts your top speaker. You obviously need a subwoofer (compatible with most brands) otherwise this will not work and you will need a tri-pod mount.

I got mine today and checked on the back of the speakers. The speakers have the simple hang on the wall hookup. You really dont *need* a mount.Front speakers as expeted are bigger, rear are bigger than I expected but not huge. Woofer is full-size.

You don't need to drill holes into your speakers as the speaker stands have adjustable clamps to lock the speakers in place. They also come with rubber pads that attach to the stand's speaker clamps. For extra security, you could replace the rubber pads with velcro strips.
