I'm currently using Sanus systems "Hover Foundation" stands. They come with a wide variety of connectivity options - which is good and bad. The hover series has a much larger base than the EFT, and is much more stable - albeit it looks a lot larger as well.
For the rear SS3's, I'm using the angled bar with a basic T mount, screwed into the metal mounting fitting on the SS3. The Hover Foundation stand allows me to get the SS3's about 5 or so feet off the ground, and angled down towards my listening position. The large footprint base keeps things very steady.
For the front SS50's, I'm using the same Hover Foundation stands, but with the optional straight bars and L bracket, screwed into the upper mount on the SS50. I have the L bracket facing downward - and the SS50's are placed just far enough away from the mounting pole to allow for banana plugs.
In both cases, I'm using the supplied foam cushions so that no part of the mounting brackets touch the SS3/50's.
The rear SS3's are very stable, mounted high, and are positioned very well with the large base hidden behind furniture. The front SS50s are stable and placed well - but the hover foundation stands aren't that aesthetically pleasing out in the open - due to their large footprint, and the fact that the L bracket protrudes from the back of the mount.
I am looking forward to see what GE releases, so that I can display the SS50's in better style.
