Thanks for the advice chess, I just got off the phone with Joe. If anyone else is having an issue with the speaker stands he is the man to talk to. He told me there were either pre-drilled holes in the back or punched holes in order to screw the speaker to the stands. Another issue I was not aware of for those of you that are have vibration problems when using a stand, is that there are extra rubber feet that come with the stand. Take one of those rubber feet and put it on the back of the speaker where it comes in contact with the pole section of the stand and it should eliminate any vibrations. Chess thanks once again and I will let ya know how the setup works out.
