Using these Kanto speaker stands is easy. First, decide whether you're using them on a hard floor or carpet. If it's a hard floor, attach the dome feet; for carpet, use the spike feet. Then, choose the appropriate top plate for your speaker size - the smaller one for standard speakers and the larger one for bigger models. You can use the top plates with or without the included mounting screws, depending on your preference. Place your speakers on the stands and route the cables through the hollow tubes to keep them tidy. When it comes to maintenance, simply wipe the stands with a clean, dry cloth to keep them looking good. Remember, these stands are made to hold a maximum of 30 lbs per stand, so don't overload them. And don't forget that the speakers themselves are not included with the stands.
