Hmmn... finding these has been a pain. Very few dealers have them, and none have them on display. I have to purchase a pair (@ about $149 a pair) just to evaluate them because there is surprisingly little information about them (apart from one picture).

Can you give people any details on things like:

How high off the ground they hold the SS50s?
Can the height of the speakers be adjusted once mounted?
Do the stands hide the speaker wire?
Do the stands come with mounting hardware?
Triton Two front L/R
SuperSat 50c center
Triton Seven surround L/R
SuperSat 50 surround rear L/R
AVR Arcam AVR-21
Amp Marantz mm7025
Velodyne optimum 10” sealed, back left corner
SuperSub X front-right corner

Sorry, its true, very few dealer are displaying the floor stands.

The floor stands are designed to put the speakers' tweeter at ear-level. They are not adjustable in height for stability and cost reasons. The stands to have a speaker wire chase to neatly hide the speaker wires. The stands come with everything you need to attach the SuperSat speakers.

If you are not happy with the stands after purchase, return them to your dealer for credit. FWIW, no complaints from users yet. :)

Picked a set of these up today (a local dealer gave me a 14 day no-questions return policy). Assembly was very easy, and they are quite sturdy with the speakers mounted; though I didn't realize the base would be tempered glass. The appearance is, as I'd hoped, well executed with minimalistic style.

The top of the SS50 sits at about 4' off the floor, and the top of the tweeter is right at 3'. The center of the tweeter sits at a bit less than 35". This is a little shorter than my previous setup, but not so much so that it makes a difference when listening (likely due to the tweeters vertical dispersion).

For those that are curious - the mount is attached to the SS50 at two points: The threaded entry just below the banana plug connectors, and inside the cross-hair wall mount placed a bit further down.

The only real problem I had was in talking to three local dealers, where I got responses like this:

"I believe your thinking of the pedestal table-stands."
"They only make floor-stands for the SS3s."
"I can call the GE rep to see if they even make something like that."

The box says "Super Stand 50" - that may help anyone who's talking to an uninformed dealer. Anyhow, the stands are solid - I'll keep 'em.

Thanks for the excellent feedback. I'll let the sales team about the uninformed dealers issue. Dealers have a lot to pay attention to and sometimes miss the important but small details. Our apologies and thanks again.
