Hi, I have managed to find out the differences between the metal square tubular speaker stands used for the s45-2 and mc120.2 etc and am wondering if anyone can tell me if it is ok to use the stands designed for the s45-2 for the mc120.2 speakers please?....the stands vary in height , 44cm against 51cm....the rest of the sizes look the same...I dont mind the stands being 7cm lower than the ones I already have but wondering if there is anything I am unaware of which would rule them out? This is really a step along question from the one I posted the other day....many thanks in advance for any help and assistance......

speaker stand suitability s45-2 vs mc120.2

Apparently, the height matters to some extent - or Bang & Olufsen wouldn't have made different stands.
Your speakers will play regardless - of course - though it may not be at the most ideal height, which is usually centered vertically around the height of your ears when listening (usually in a sitting position).
Also, - the S45-2 stands came in two versions; One has the vertical part assembled with a screw from below to the base part, the other is permanently welded.
I think the version with screw wouldn't be strong enough for MC120.2 to be safe.

Hi and thankyou again for your advice....thought there would be a good reason why maybe to wait for proper intended stands for my other pair of 120s ....have a pair of 45-2`s about without stands so might see how theings go with them....always appreciate the advice, many thanks.....Tony...
