How do you get a 250 lbs Speaker on an SP-101?

Thanks for the input. Beer is on my list of things to do tomorrow.

Irish stated some good points/tips that I hadn't thought of. Fortunately, the speakers are currently in the position I like, thus the hardest part is done (many hours of listening and moving speakers). I assume (which is never good) that 2 to 3 inches higher would not prefer a front to back or side to side adjustment, as well. Although the change brought on by the stands themselves once they are on, may prefer a different location. In any case, they need to be on the stands before I could assess that.

Looking forward to hearing the Andras on these stands.

Here's my invention of the day: Speaker jacks. Remote controlled motorized platforms that slide under one's speakers. The remote should have L/R speaker, raise/lower and a joystick. When raised, one would be able move each speaker backward and forward, left and right, adjust toe in. All from the listening chair. When the optimum location is found, simply lower the speakers onto their spikes. Probably would need to raise the chair to keep the height consistant while doing this. Most people would not use these often enough to justify the high cost but dealers could rent or loan them out.

Elgordo - I like the way you think. However, I could probably rent a team of woman weight lifters for about the same price. Not as exacting as your brilliant contraption, but with most things, one must balance form with function.

Keep the creative wheels turning. Jim
