(Repeating an earlier post)

I'm currently using Sanus systems "Hover Foundation" stands, which 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 - but overall, they aren't as attractive as the SS3 stands that GE makes (which is ok, they are behind my couch hidden).

Below is an example of how you can angle the SS3's with these mounts. I think they are about $50 a pair, which makes them lighter on the pocketbook - as long as they aren't out front-and-center.

I wonder how you would attach the Sat3's to those stands Hover Stands ????

We've used those, they include an assortment of hardware and brackets that will work with the 1/4-20 threaded insert in the back/center of the SuperSat 3.

Can someone please post a picture of the 50's installed using the L-brackets?

Sorry - I have deprecated the sanus hover stands in favor of the super stands for the ss50s. I still use the hover stands for my ss3's in back.

This is a picture of a similar stand (different base footprint, but same L bracket). As you can see, the L bracket faces out, and it would connect to the upper screw connection on the ss50. This means that much of the ss50 hangs in front of, and parallel to the hover stand bar. The stand itself raises quite high, so it's easy to get the ss50 well off the ground.



The thing to notice is that the L bracket will sit flush with the SS50 (advised to use the foam padding between the L bracket and speaker), but the L bracket actually extends at least an inch or so beyond the bar it attaches to, towards the rear. From the side this is fairly noticeable. The pic above is a side shot, btw. Left side would connect to the ss50, right side shows the overhang of the L bracket to the rear.


Even if I had the speakers setup like this, I'd have to take about 5 or so different pictures from different angles to really give you an idea of each detail. Suffice to say that they are probably in stock at your local big-box dealer. Try them out, and if you aren't completely satisfied, return them. (if your in Colorado, let me know - I have a pair you can have).

The super stand 50's are much better looking, cleaner and more refined. If they would have been out when I purchased my speakers - I would have just gone with them for the front speakers. GE doesn't make anything quite like the hover stands which can get the rear SS3s up high, and angled down - so I still consider those the best-bet for rear surrounds. (see below pic for an idea of how I have the SS3's setup in back)

Can anyone post a picture of their GoldenEar Sat50's with the GoldenEar Super Stands? I've been considering purchasing a set, depending on how they look.
