Do the side speakers lay horizontally nicely? I want to turn them on their sides (lay sideways under my monitor). Can you unscrew the silver stand?

I do not think you can unscrew the stand I don't see anywhere to do that... my desk and its upper shelves have somewhat of a curve to them and I velcroed the side of the speakers to the end of the curve on each side at ear level ( sitting down) and the sound is incredible, so much better than having them in front of you .. With Velcro the will stay in the side if u are lying them down

Good Afternoon, to answer your question I would say that these are the BEST bookshelf speaker mounts for the money at the time, 25.00! for the pair. What a STEAL! after fixing my problem I had with them these turned out to be a gem!! They turn an easy 180 from side to side and also have a nice up and down tilt as well, I have my Polk RTI A1 speakers mounted on these which are quite large and these do the job well! I use blue tack to hold the speakers down just incase they don't lift or at an angle the tack holds the speakers down in their place. Good luck! I'm here if you have anymore questions. Randy

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.

These speakers were designed for Surround sound. They come with picture like hangers for wall mounting. Or you could buy mounting brackets and hang them from a wall or fly them from the ceiling. They really should not be used as the main right and left speakers which is probably why you want speaker stands for these? I would buy tower speakers instead for left and right if you are going to waste the footprint space anyway and put them on stands. They are good sounding speakers, just not for what I think you intend?

can you adjust the center post up and down? I do not care if the monitors stay at the same level, I might want to lower the monitors to about 4 inches off the desk or higher when i rotate the monitors vertically

I was wondering the same thing. According to a reviewer on January 12, 2012 they aren't exactly compatible unless you turn the speakers upside down.

Hi there, I bought the same brackets. As u noticed they will not work. I'm not sure what brackets will. How ever I did modify them by cutting out 4 pieces of wood each 4 1/2"x 4 1/2" about 1/2" thick. I drilled 2 holes in them to line up w/ the key holes on the back of the speakers. Inserted bolts w/ a head on them that would fit in the key hole. Then put stop nuts on the threads and the speakers hang great from them. I spray painted the wood brackets flat black. They look great! U would never know I had mcgyvered them. The system is awesome! U'll love it. Other then the same problem ur face'n right now. I faced it too, but an easy fix. Hope this helped, have a good one.

Hello Wanda, I do not currently have a picture to provide you of the side view. I will make sure to get a picture to you right away. It does look like the monitors sag a bit from the images that we've provided. I think that's just because we've pulled the monitors forward to try to show what they look like all pulled together and forward. I will make sure to let you know once we've put up a new image of the side view. Thank you, Taylor W. VIVO

On the back are the wire connections and a small round "bass port" to give it a little bottom end base response. That said, I don't think you could (or would want to) mount them flush against the wall. I suppose if you found a mount that supported them from the bottom and left a little air gap behind it might work OR put them on a shelf?? They might be a bit large for wall mount. I would look for something slightly smaller for wall mount satellite speakers if available. My Polk's set on top of a large entertainment center from Ikea and point out into the living room. Anyway, hope that helps. Good luck! On the back are the wire connections and a small round "bass port" to give it a little bottom end base response.

Like others have said, it's kind of awkward when putting them on their side. You could potentially use some rubber feet toward the front, and if put in the exact right spot, you could balance the speaker on those and where the middle curves out furthest (if that makes any sense). Ideally though, you want them upright.

I agree with Michael Lex. If you take the covers off there is one speaker up high and the other side it is lower. I have mine set with the Polk logo towards inside. High speaker more in and low side more facing out

Shirley, I've looked along the sides and don't find any ports for sound to escape. The speakers are forward-facing. Incidentally, mine supports the weight of my 46" Panasonic plasma without complaint.

The speakers are permanently angled inside the case. You can rotate the speaker and aim them to the sweet spot before tightening the screws. The tiny tweeters in the center rotate, but that's kind of a joke. I'm happy with them.

I use these for my rear speakers: Monoprice Satellite Speaker Floor Stand (Set of 2), BlackThey aren't the best, but they are adequate. I would look for a stand with a flat base for the speakers to rest on. If you're concerned about the speakers falling off the stands, some double sided tape should ease your mind.Hope this helps!

you can easily crack it open and cut the wires going to the clearly visible pc speaker, then just pop it back together. did it on mine..i was afraid of it not fitting back together, but they're nice tabs that are meant to be opened up and put back.

Hello Jill,Yes, Walter is correct. First, make sure the horizontal mounting rod is place on the vertical rod correctly. If placed upside down, this can cause the monitors to face downward. Once you've checked that the stand is assembled correctly, you may pop off all the black caps and tighten the bolts underneath. That should help fix the problem. Please feel free to ask any further questions.Thanks,Taylor W.VIVO

The rear speakers don't come attached to the stands. You have to attach them yourself. They are attached with screws.
