crooked speaker stands?


Hey,

Kind of a nit-pic concern here. I recently bought and put together some new Atlantis speaker stands. They feel solid and strong, especially after I sand-filled them. They are 21" two-pole design.

My concern is... if I look down on the top plate where the speakers rest and compare the edges of that square to the edges of the floor base, they are not flush. One stand is off more than the other.

I put them together well I think and can't think of anything I could have done wrong or should change in how I assembled them.

Has anyone else experienced this?

If I read correctly, it appears that the only issue is the top plate is not a perfect square piece. Is my assumption correct? If the circumference of your speakers is larger than the top plate itself, I guess this issue is negligible since the minor flaw cannot be seen. Poor quality control I guess.
Reubent cannot desribe it more perfectly. For self-assembled stands, issues like you have encountered are bound to happen. In most cases, the installation by the user is the cause (in screwing the plates to the vertical pillar) but sometimes minor flaws such as a slight uneveness at the edge of the vertical pillar will cause this 'skew' of 5-10 degress you are talking about. I think I get what you are saying right now. Quite a norm in self-assembled stands and won't affect performance too much.

Cheers.
