How do you couple speakers to speaker stands?

Audio Speaker FAQ - WikiFAQ - Answers to Frequently Asked Qu...
Ideally, your speakers should sit flat on the speaker stand or floor. They shouldn't see-saw back and forth if nudged. One good way to accomplish this is to use a small dab of putty under each corner of the speaker. There are a few common putties used for this, but all share the properties of being very elastic and staying flexible indefinitely. These putties are inexpensive, removable, and reusable.

What type of speaker stands should I use?

Harbeth Frequently Asked Questions
All Harbeth speakers need to be lifted off the floor and to an operational height by placing them on some sort of stand. None of our speakers will work correctly on shelves or close to nearby surfaces because the sound waves generated by the speakers will be acoustically coupled to (or trapped by) those surfaces, and re-radiated into the room. This will disturb our intended frequency balance of the speakers especially at low and middle frequencies where the speaker is omni directional.

What operating systems work with my Companion 5 speakers?

FAQs - Companion 5 Multimedia Speaker System - Information f...

What about grills? Speaker stands?

Jupiter Audio - FAQ's
I do not make grills at this time, and if I have my druthers, I never will. Grills act as a filter at certain frequencies, and although you can theoretically account for this in the crossover, it invariably sounds like the speaker is being played through a piece of cloth.

What gauge speaker wire should I use in my system?

Amplifier Frequently Asked Questions
For the best speaker damping and least amount of power loss you will want to use the heaviest gauge that is practical. The length of the speaker wire should be considered when considering wire gauge. The shorter the run, the smaller gauge you can use with minimum power and damping factor loss. The longer the run, the heavier gauge you will need to minimize power and damping factor loss. You will also want to consider the size of power amplifier you are using.

When and why should I use the Eyepiece Cover that came with my camera?

When the camera is on a tripod, light can enter the viewfinder from behind the camera because the photographer may be standing away from the camera.

What should I use for a center speaker?

FAQ
I have no Home Theater setup. The ORION can certainly be used for a Home Theater, especially when the THOR subwoofer is added. My primary interest is music reproduction and the arrival of discrete multi-channel audio in the form of SACD and DVD-A was driving me to investigate the center channel issue. I have reported on my findings and have no pressing need for either center or surround speakers.

Should I use legs or stands for my Basses?

Welcome to Coyle Drums
Answer - Well, there are pros and cons to both. Legs work very well and give your Bass a strong punchy bottom, but can be a pain when trying to put the drums into cases. The stands work well also. They will give your Bass a little more volume but you loose the punch. Also $600.00 for stands is a bit steep.
