Using these Kanto SP26PL speaker stands is a breeze. First, pick the right top plate for your speakers - the 4.3x7.1 - inch one for standard ones and the 7x7 - inch for larger models. Then, attach the top plate to the stand using the included mounting screws if you want a more secure fit. Next, choose the appropriate feet: dome feet for hard floors and spike feet for carpets. Place your speakers on the stands gently. When it comes to maintenance, keep the stands clean by wiping them with a dry cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals. And remember, these stands can hold up to 30 lbs per stand, so don't overload them. Also, speakers are not included with the stands.
