I've always wondered... what are the usual methods for securing speakers to stands like this? I have Alesis M1 MK2 Actives and I don't to have to put screw holes in them or anything... at the same time I don't want them to fall off my desk :/

i need some speaker stands too, but i'm sure as hell not gonna pay over 100€ for them. i can't understand how they're so god damn expensive!
i also don't want to drill holes in my precious speakers.

Use non-skid rubber pads that you can buy to put in cabinets, on your car dash, etc.
I had a set of speakers sitting on top of a larger set of speakers which would fall off due to the vibration. This fixed my problem.

your monitors should just sit comfortably on the stands they shouldnt have to be screwed in or anything. The weight of monitors alone will secure them...also most stands have adjustable pegs on the base and are sometimes bottom heavy.
I just bought those 2 days ago. Waiting for them to come in, probably next week. most important is the size of the base for the speaker to stand on. And the foot (spikes are good , the less contact with the floor is made the better - this reduces the chance of resonating elements).
These stands I bought can be filled with sand (which is probably one of the best materials to reduce resonance).
If less is more think about how much more more would be.

These are not too expensive, but a bit narrow on top. The alternative might be to use some Auralex Mopad. different (bookshelf positioning)but good stuff

thanks for the replies guys, I actually own a pair of behringer Truth monitors (the active ones)...worth double their price in quality and build imho...(yes i know, behringer!). anyways, so i'll be trying to find stands that fit those...@ spirit: pm'd bud.
