crooked speaker stands?
Hmm... So it sounds like it's not a defect in the stand that its a little off and that it wont affect performance at all... i.e. it's a pretty normal happening... right?If that's the case than I just assume leave it... I was just worried they were... 
crooked speaker stands?
Hmm... but there are two poles secured by a screw at the top and base plate... if I just torqued it over, it seems like I would be forcing something and breaking... something, although I dont know what.... doesn't it?So this isn't uncommon for $20... 
crooked speaker stands?
No, the top piece in it's self is a perfect square piece. I'm sorry, it's tough to explain. I wish I could post a picture.Picture this example... lets say the top plate and the base plate are two perfect boxes of the same size, one resting on the ... 
crooked speaker stands?
It's weird... its completely level and the speakers sit on it perfectly, but... Its like if you had a square jar with a square lid. The lid lid is just partially unscrewed and uneven with the edges of the jar... even though it is still horizontall...

Hey Ken... Excellent, thanks for the review. I would be driving some new Paradigm Atoms v5... they are rated 90db I think.Musicman... I would love that review... that is exactly what I have been wondering. Reason being... I could buy a Paradisea a... 
m22 vs. atom
These are new V.5 atoms, but I think they still use MDF... 3/4" though, so it's pretty thick. I wouldn't have the guts to open the speakers up yet being an audio equipment newbie... but the Blu Tac alternative is intriguing.How adhesive is this st... 
m22 vs. atom
Thanks guys... that is SUCH a relief to hear. You have put my heart to rest :). These speakers are indeed primarily for music listening, not home theatre... so it feels good to know I made a good choice. I had a feeling having 2 midrange drivers o... 
m22 vs. atom
I did pull the trigger on the Atoms already... now I see used Axiom m22 speakers for the same price... so I'm sort of kicking myself.I'm debating whether I should just pick up the axioms and sell the atoms or not.As for bookshelf mounting, that id...

bookshelf in a bookshelf?
Hey... just wondering... what should I look for in a speaker stand? I'm on a budget, so I'm wondering if I should just go to target and pick up some generic stands or if it would be worth it to buy something a bit more expensive.Thanks again.

Hey Ken, have you any experience with Nad, Jolida, Creek, Rotel, or Rega amps? I would like to know how the decco amp compares. 
Decco from Preachtree audio
Thanks for the input Ken. The amp section is what I am trying to get more info on, so this is exactly the review I needed.How is it holding up? Are you still liking the sound?I have no idea what OP chip amps are... it seems to be tough to find muc... 
Decco from Preachtree audio
Hey... me again.Does anybody have any experience with the amp/pre-amp of the decco as well as an amp such as a NAD c325bee or a Rotel 1062?I would like to know how they compare.The thing is... I could buy a paradisea+ and a NAD c325bee or c352bee ...
