763387998

The first speaker stand designed to meet Dolby Laboratories specifications for rear surround speakers, the Hover Series offers adjustable-height straight and angled pillars for any listening arrangement. Each high-mass cast-iron base includes rubber pads and adjustable carpet spikes for superior acoustic isolation.

Stands sold as a pair

Sanus' space-age design lands in your living room

Just one look at the Sanus HF1 Hover Series speaker stands, and you know you're speakers are about to engage in an out-of-speaker experience. The stands are adjustable from 36 to 58 inches for optimal soundscaping. Plus, the stands offer both a straight and a mysteriously-alien-like angled position. Either one will get the job done, but one will definitely leave you wondering, Who's out there?

Mystery solved. Dolby's out there.

The HF1 is the first speaker stand to specifically meet Dolby Laboratories' placement guidelines for home theater rear-surround speakers. So now you know. Dolby is listening. Or possibly aliens own Dolby, but that's just speculation at this point.

Now you see it, now you don't

As stealthy as they come, the HF1's high-mass, cast-iron base features a concealed wire path and includes rubber feet and adjustable carpet spikes for stability on any surface. Works best in environments with ~9.8 m/sÂ² gravitational acceleration. (Pssst that would be pretty much anywhere on Earth.)

I purchased these stands from VANNS. They shiped my order the same day I placed it, and 3 days later they were at my house! This is the first time I had ever bought from VANNS, and I have to say their customer service is the best Ive seen! I bought these, because I needed something that would hold my Klipsch g-16 and g-12 gallery speakers. Most stands can only hold up to 4lbs--these can hold up to 10lbs. They have very sturdy bases, and are well built. I like how they can adjust up and down like a microphone stand without having to use any tools. I feel very confident in the build quality of these, and do not worry about my speakers ever falling off, or getting knocked over. I also love the options that you get with these different adapter mounts, straight or agled rods, soft rubber feet or spiked feet for carpet. If you are looking for a heavy duty stand that gives you plenty of mounting options, then look no further. These are very high quality.

I must say that the stands met my needs, heavy and sturdy which gives me no doubt they are solidly built . Very easy to assembly and have choice between straight or angle top rod. Will fit several different speaker manufacture but not all. Comes with double sticky tape for speakers that do not mount with screws. Overall these stands are well worth the price and Vanns has great customer service and prices to boot.

I purchased the Sanus HF1B speaker stands for our new home theater rear surround sound speakers. While the stands are probably more than what I needed, I feel compelled to recommend these to everyone. The stands are heavy cast iron and are very stable. I found that my speakers have a notch at the top to mount them and these stands do not have a mounting bracket that will work for my speakers. However, the stands are so sturdy, I feel confident in their performance. I REALLY recommend these stands if you have larger or somewhat heavy rear surround speakers.

I bought these stands for my rear surround speakers to replace a cheap pair purchased several years ago. The quality of the stands is far beyond that of any other set of stands I could find. I went into several retail stores none of which seemed to carry these stands and either did not like the price or the build quality. The Sanus stands are by far the best quality for the price. The support bases are very heavy duty and the stalks are wide enough in diameter that speaker wire can easily traverse from entry to exit point. The adjustment clamp is robust and firm. There are two sets of stalks for the top portion straight and angled, as well as several sets of speaker adapters for the top of the stalk. I slightly modified a set of adapters increased the angle of the mount to meet my needs and they work perfectly. My set arrived damaged - the bases had smacked into one another quite a few times. I contacted Vanns and they put me in contact with Sanus directly to avoid any delays. Sanus customer support was excellent and immediately shipped out a replacement set of bases without asking for the damaged pair in return which would have been a waste of money for both sides involved. Im extremely happy with both Sanus and Vanns for the customer service and support. Ive purchased a flat screen wall mount, these stands and an AV rack from Sanus and theyre all high quality and easy to assemble.

I looked at the image and thought they would be pretty clean looking. However they look oversized and kind of ugly when I assembled it. There is a ugly plastic hinge in the middle that really added to the not so good look. Also my mirage speakers were not compatible with any of the brackets provided. In the end I used them for a bookshelf speaker stand. without the plastics tubing and drilled my own bracket. Not sure the base and the metal was worth the price I paid but I guess thats what I get for buying a clearance item.

I bought these from Vanns through Amazon. I didn't realize that this speaker stands have the option to use the straight upper section or the angled upper section. I specifically bought them for the angled upper section. The price on Amazon was very affordable and made these a best buy. Whats great is that this model matches the front speaker stands. Speaker stands were well packaged. Assembly was easy, no defect in product. I very much appreciate that these are adjustable rear speaker stands that work well in a small space at the back of the room on opposite sides of a split reclining couch with a high back.

These are solid speaker stands that will support heavy speakers up to 10 lbs. They come with quite a bit of hardware and connecting options for practically any speaker. My surround speakers are older and do not have the screw threads that would connect to the speakers stand. Therefore, I used the flat plate and double-face tape method that came in the box. The speakers are very secure with this method. My only complaint is that the instructions are all graphical and no verbiage is included. I used the angled posts for my installation and removing the plastic component #3 in the drawing was very difficult. Once you get past that on the first speaker stand the second one was much easier. Ive only had these stands a short time but they have adjustability and seem to be of very good quality.

I purchased these to use with my Mirage OMD5 Speakers, but they did not fit and for that, I marked them down on performance. I could have found a way to make them fit, but it would have been aesthetically less appealing, which was disappointing. They do seem easy to set up and use if they work for your speakers, but the base is much larger than what I thought it would be. It probably needs to be to safely hold the speakers, but that is something to think about if you buy them.

These stands are super heavy duty, probably more than you need for small satellite speakers but there are not too many on the market that have the downward tilting posts for rear surround, it also comes with straight posts if you want to use them for front or side speakers.
Instructions are a little hard to follow, but its pretty simple so you dont need them for too much. One issue was changing to the curved post as it is extremely difficult to remove the collet from the bottom post, and not much in the manual explains how to do it. Unfortunately the set I had originally received was defective, the mounting base caused the stand to be crooked. I called Vanns and asked for a return, it only took one call to resolve my issue and I got to talk to a real person the first time! Great customer service,

I ordered these speaker stands based on reviews by other folks on amazon.com. The speaker stands are better quality than I was even expecting, especially considering their very reasonable price. They are heavy duty with a nice black coating that doesnt seem to chip easily. The base is cast iron and heavy enough to support my Onkyo HT-S9400THX surround speakers 7.7lbs and front speakers 11lbs. The angled attachments get the rear speakers angled perfectly toward the primary listening positions. Overall quite impressed with them and the number of mounting hardware options that are included multiple plates, bases and screw-on fasteners. The height is easily adjusted and stays where its put.

Great value for a great set of stands!
The angled bars allow you to extend surround speakers above ear level, while still directing the sound to your theaters seating positions.
These stands are heavy-duty, and remind me of light exercise equipment.
They could support not only small satellite speakers, but also small bookshelf speakers as well up to 10 lbs. each.
Theyre very sturdy and well-built, and they allow you to hide your speaker wires by running them thru the bars themselves.
Included are both straight bars and the above mentioned angled ones... both extend to ~50

Speaker stands are decent. Instruction manual isnt the best, but things can be figured out. Not a fan of the double sided tapecushioning things...makes speaker installation permanent and harder to move speakers. would have preferred rubber cushion thingies with only one sticky side. also, speaker wire cant be routed through the base, it enters the stand from a point about an inch up the center stand. not the biggest of deals, but could have been made cleaner by having the speaker wire be able to be routed through the stand from the base.

other than those nit picky things that they work great, and can be used for all sorts of surround speakers.

I purchased these stands to hold my new Definitive Technology ProCinema ProMonitor 1000 satellite speakers. I have been very happy with the stands and recommend them for the Definitive Technology ProMonitor 1000 satellite speakers and I will post instructions in this review of how to mount the speakers to the stands as it took a while to figure out. The stands have a very heavy base that keep the stands stable and prevent the stands and speakers from falling over. The base for the stands is larger than what I had anticipated but I am glad they are as a large as they are because it provides the stands great stability. They arrived very quickly after ordering and in great condition. Instructions on how to mount the Definitive Technology ProCinema ProMonitor 1000 satellite speakers to Sanus Foundations Hover Series HF1 HF1B speaker stands The pictures on the box the stands come in show Definitive Technology ProMonitor Speakers on the stands in the pictures and that was what motivated me to keep at it and figure out a way to get the speakers attached to the stands as I knew it was possible because the stand manufacturer had done it I assumed and hoped that they had not photo shopped the picture of the speakers on the stands. The issue is that the ProMonitor’s or at least the ProMonitor 1000’s have a curved bottom and this caused issues in trying to mount the speakers to the stands and have the speakers not wobble around and be straight. It took a while of trial and error to figure out the best way to mount the speakers to the stands. This is how you do it After completing steps 1 thru 2-2 in the instructions booklet I decided on the straight vs. the angled as I liked the look and the stability of the straight better than the angled ones. at step 4-1 use part [16] the smaller bottom speaker bracket and secure it to the stand with the hole in the middle of the speaker bracket the one on the widerlonger side with three holes and this will be the rear of the speaker bracket aligned with the hole in the speaker stand that the wire comes up through. Then affix peel protective paper off the side that will rest on the speaker bracket one small triangle pad part [30] on each corner of the rear of the speaker bracket you will use one small triangle pad in each rear corner and Do Not Peel off the top of the pad the protective paper over the adhesive. Then affix peel protective paper off the side that will rest on the speaker bracket one large triangle pad part [29] on each corner of the front of the speaker bracket. On the large triangle pads that were just affixed peal the protective paper off the top of the pad to reveal the adhesive on the pad and affix peel protective paper off the side that will rest on the pad just affixed on top of them another large triangle pad part [29] so that there is one large triangle pad on top of another so that you end up with in the front corners of the speaker bracket a thickness of two large pads Do Not Peel the protective paper off of the top pads. Leave the paper on for these top pads as it makes mounting the speaker easier and no need to get that adhesive on the nice speakers. Then take part [28] a plastic washer that has a slight thickness and combine this with the smaller ¼-20 X 58 in. screw part [22]. Very carefully pick up the speaker and place it on top of the speaker stand bracket. While holding the speaker secure the speaker to the speaker bracket by hand screwing the screw into the threaded screw hole of the speaker by coming up through the bottom of the speaker bracket. After hand screwing enough so that the screw will not just come out and let the speaker fall. Use a screw driver to secure the speaker to the speaker stand making adjustments on the positioning of the speaker with one hand to keep it aligned while you tighten the screw with the screw driver using your other hand do not over tighten. I pushed the screw towards the front of the bracket as much as I could to keep the front of the speakers as straight as possible. Repeat this process for the other speakers. Remember Small speaker bracket [16], one small triangle pad in each rear corner leaving the protective paper over the adhesive for the top of the pads that the speaker will rest on, one large triangle pad in each front corner, peal the protective paper off the top of the large pads just affixed and affix remove the protective paper from the side that will rest on top of the pad just placed another large triangle pad on top of the large triangle pads already in place so that the front corners have large triangle pads two pads thick. Leave the protective paper on the top of these pads. Combine the slightly thick plastic washer [28] with the small ¼-20 x 58 in. screw and secure the speaker to the stand threading the screw through the bottom of the speaker bracket into the screw hole on the speaker. I hope these instructions will save another person from hours of figuring out how to best mount the ProMonitor 1000 speakers to the stands. If you want to change from straight to angled stands extract and retract the pole that inserts into the larger diameter multiple times and with force in order to separate the bracket part [03] from the pole part [01]. It is very tough to get them to separate but once you know the process it is easier.

They dont fit the stand perfectly, as the front of the adaptor sticks out under the speaker by about a half inch. Regardless they still look good and are very well made.
