I have a pair of Cerwin Vega XLS 28 speakers, which weigh 45lbs each? is the max weight really 22lbs or can it hold more?

the fact is they were tested at 22lbs but I believe they can hold 50lbs and the reason is, I put a lot of stuff on top of my 20lbs speaker, they are double tubed as you can see and I think all it needs is good balance that's all. Did I mention they are sturdy.

I have not tried putting 45 lbs on this stand but I would assume that it will not withstand that at long periods of time. The base is glass which is rigid but the thickness may not stand a 45 lbs.

According to Amazon the speakers weigh 2lbs. if purchased as single speakers.I did not weigh mine, but they they feel about 2 lbs. They are compact but sturdy. I relly enjoy the quality!David

I'm also interested in knowing if anyone found an actual answer... My center channel speaker is just under 31 lbs. Has anyone mounted anything this heavy or heavier? Thanks!

I'm using my stands with Polk LSiM703 which are almost exactly 30lbs. I'm very happy with the stands.

I am not so sure but I think the speakers are little bigger though in term of weight it is still ok.

Honestly I don't know, I own Mackie MR8MK3's and they weigh 24lbs each and the stands seem to hold them up fine. Any other questions you could ask the seller but I like my stands and they work great in my studio. You could look up my speakers to see the spec's to give you some comparison.

Hi, the speakers are the best around and with great base. They weigh: 66 lbs less packing meterials which would be another 10 lbs...

I think so. The base on these stands is quite wide. You might want to strap the speaker to the stand though. I have a pair of M-Audio BX5's on mine. These stands are big enough that they are complete overkill for my application. I don't think there would be any problem with these stands supporting 35lbs.

The bookshelf speakers I have on mine weigh 16 pounds. I don't think the stands will have any trouble holding 30 pound speakers. They are very sturdy.

Strictly guessing, but I would say liability, reduced warranty claims (most items are overbuild 75-150%) and weight distribution. The heavier speakers will likely have the load points out toward the edges for balance purposes, but the edges/corners of these stands are unsupported tempered glass. The only support to the glass is in the center where the 2 columns meet the glass. They're likely worried about the glass breaking and your speakers getting damaged from too much weight away from the support points (columns). I have my JBL Studio L820s on these. Those speakers weigh in at 19lbs and are used as my surrounds. They don't wobble or seem to stress the stands at all. It's also worth noting, that these are designed for bookshelf speakers, if you put anything very tall on them, that could cause them become too top heavy and be prone to tipping.

Don't know for sure. My speakers are maybe 25 of 30 lbs. each. I also velcroed them on. Wiring can be hidden inside. I'm pretty satisfied with them. Make sure the screws are aligned with the pre drilled holes.

Have no idea, but they're solid. I'd have no apprehension about putting 20 pounds on them. I've had numerous speaker stands throughout the years and I like these a lot.

They seem quite sturdy. I would guess my speakers are 25 lbs and are very stable.

They should hold them no problem. These stands are quite hefty. The speakers I have on them are 15 lbs, and they do not begin to affect them in any way.

I have Bose Speakers 14 X 9 on mine and they weigh 8 - 9lbs. No problem with them staying on the Sanus System Speaker Stands. I love my speaker stands and they are the perfect height for listening to music or watching movies.

I actually don't own these. ( I wish) but I do own a bunch of cerwin Vega speakers and from what I understand they are made to be played on almost any wattage. I'm no expert by any means but 85w and it being a Yamaha u should be fine. I run 140w to the single 12" version of that and it ROCKS!

Not real sure... The speakers I'm using, with this bracket, are rear surround speakers and I guess they weight around four pounds. For my application they work great. Hope this helps...SB
