Bolting speaker with stand

Could it be that the speakers are meant to have the rubber feet removed prior to installing the stands? Those are pretty short screws, how many threads engage when mounting the right speaker? Why don’t you try contacting a dealer and ask about the stands.

per crn i'd just get longer screws--they look like pretty standard allen machine screws. agree the originals should've fit, but this seems like a small deal in the scheme of things.

I looked at the instruction manual for the stands and although kind of vague the drawings don’t show the rubber feet. 

@stereo5 That’s what the KEF customer service said. I ordered them from a local dealer. Maybe that’s why. Moreover, I made a small scratch at the bottom of the left speaker during the extra investigations I had to do. KEF probably would not take them back.

@loomisjohnson yes, that is what I am trying to do now. What annoys me even more is: KEF does not even answer my question about getting longer screws, and their spec. KEF literally has the worst customer service I have ever dealt with.

@crn3371 Right. The drawing did not show the rubber feet, but he manual did not show instructions about removing the rubber feet either. No matter what, the quality of these speakers should be consistent and the KEF customer service is terrible.

Thanks for all the responses.

If the speakers were meant to have the rubber feet remain then your argument is valid. If KEF’s intent was for the feet to be removed than it’s just an issue of manufacturing tolerances. If KEF says to remove the feet perhaps that’s the solution. You haven’t answered how much thread engagement you got on the right speaker, I’m guessing not much based on the length of those screws.
