tall solid speaker stands?

I need to put Snell K.5 Mark IIs on speaker stands. Gotta be 36 inches tall to be above the couhc and the speakers weight about 25 pounds each, so the stands should be pretty solid. Most of the ones I can see screw into the speakers, but I'd rather not put holes in them, so I need something that has a top plate with at least the footprint of the speakers (8.5" by 12"). Any ideas? Thanks. -dave

36" tall?! What, are you going to listen while standing up? Stands are supposed to bring the tweeter to your ear level while seated. That means you would add the distance from the bottom of the speaker to tweeter + the height of the stand to equal your ear level while seated in the listening seat. Are you sure you got that measurement correct? Otherwise Sistrum makes a 28" stand, but I don't know of any taller speaker stands than that.

Ah, you're talking about rears in a surround system. Sorry, I didn't understand. All bets are off as I Marco don't do the surround thing. I see your dillema now. The custom route is likely the way to go. I don't think you'll otherwise find stands that height. Just mounts/brackets. I've seen mounts that seem to use a clamping mechanism, but do not recall where, and have no idea how good they may be.

Good luck.
