S45 (83-86) floor stand ???

27 replies

Hello 🙂

Two days ago I found good example of above mentioned speakers without floor stand. I see that it is very complicated to find just stand for this speakers therefore, on second thought I was thinking maybe I can try to make them, as I see stand are not that complicated to make.

So my question is, if someone have this stands I would be very happy if I can get some pictures and some basic dimensions ...

Thank you 🙂

 

I think I can help you... but give me a day or three! 😕

I saw that s45, s55, s80 from 83-86 have same stands, at least they look same on pictures.

Are they the same ?

 

S45/S55 might well be the same since the speakers are pretty much the same size.

I have a pair of S80.2's with stands, but the speakers seem to have ~7 cm more depth, and these stands might look a bit "long toed" on the others... But if Jeff can't find the correct stands, I'll be happy to measure mine - probably all that differs (if anything) is the size of the rectangle on the floor.

I saw this picture and to me they all look the same ....

 

 

 

So these are S80.2 stands - perhaps Jeff can confirm if the S45 stands are indeed the same.

The material is 15 x 25 mm rectangular steel tube for all parts except the mounting bar at the top, that is 10 x 16 mm solid steel.

The outer dimensions of the bottom rectangle are 265 (W) x 255 (D). The length of the vertical bar is 510 mm - as you can see in this side view, it is slightly angled.

Here's the bottom view. Everything else is welded together except this joint for the vertical bar, it has an Allen screw inside. It might be easier to simply weld this joint as well if you don't ever need to ship these in a flat package.

There are four plastic feet, apparently plugged into holes in the steel tube.

Here's a closeup of the top bar. The mounting holes for the speaker are 185 mm apart and countersunk. The speakers have threads for metric M4 screws.

One thing I forgot to photograph - the vertical angle of the speakers can be adjusted with another M4 screw, there's a thread for it on the inside of the vertical bar, 160 mm from the top. The holes on the stand need to be a little larger than normal (for a M4)  to let the screws move a little with this adjustment.

The end of the vertical bar has a gray plastic plug on top.

That's it. You are probably much better qualified to draw a real mechanical drawing on these 😂

I think I might also get some made. Only thing is finding out the angle of the vertical bar! Are they painted or metal?
