Is it ok to place a speaker on a stand that has a smaller top platform than the base of the speaker? Is this not advisable?

yeah...that is fine, but obviously it is not as stable.

Probably not a good idea if you're in earthquake country like Calif, or have little ones around. Accident waiting to happen.
Blue-Tack is a lifesaver. I have my 340s atop a pair of Wood Technology MU30s filled with sand and no worries at all.

Ascend is currently out of CBM-170 stands.
Who has found a functional alternative stand for the size/weight of the ascend 170's? Can you direct me to a useful site?
Thanks.
Thanks--a great link for alternative stands from Ascend's line for the CBM-170. How small a speaker platform can you go for a CBM-170 with a 9in x 10in base and retain a reasonable amount of stability? Looks like the 170's are 31 lbs per pair shipped, so I estimate less than 15 lbs per speaker. Any idea what the exact weight is?
Glen,
go to Amazon.com and do a search for "Wood Technology MU-30 metal stands." I got these for my CMT-340s,they should work for the 170s too. Very nicelooking, easy to assemble, reasonable price.
Cheaper stands available at partsexpress.com and accessories4less.com ... the 170s are small and light, just about anything will do.
When I was deciding between the 170's and 200's, one of the criteria was speaker stands. The 200's fit my Parts Express speakers stands but the 170's would not. Don't assume any stand will work.Originally Posted by Eddie

im using the dayton tri-tube stands from parts express and they work great. have some strong velco attaching the 170s to the stands, and when the dog tries to kick them over, they dont fall off. not the fanciest stand, but for the money i like the look with the 170s, and they do the job
