Sanus Speaker Stand

The Sanus speaker stand for sonos play 5 generation 2 speakers are a very solid choice. With its main competition being the much more expensive Flexson and Vogel speaker stands. Comparing the three, I would say the Sanus with its aluminum stand is a more aesthetic looking stand than the flexson and probably on par with the Vogel stand. The white stand matches very well with my white speaker. Also as a plus the speakers can be mounted both horizontally and vertically. The one downside of the stand though is the stability of the speaker on the metal plate. The metal plate that the speaker sits on does not have a "locked in" feel and relies on a very shallow socket that you place your speaker on (photo attached). From what I have read, when sonos made the generation 2 speakers, they removed a screw hole from the bottom of the speaker that would allow a more stable mount. From the instruction manual, Sanus gives the option of using a 3M sticky strip (not included) which can add stability to the mount, and I would likely recommend doing this. Regardless of the stability of the speaker on the base, I would certainly recommend placing the stand somewhere away from where accidents can occur, especially if one has children or pets at home. I don't think it would be too hard to knock the stand down (and goodbye speaker) if someone bumped into it, even if the speakers were taped to the stand.
