Is Onkyo A good speaker brand?
This is a mid-range speaker set and for the price probably the best speaker set out there. It is THX certified so you can rest assured that they are working properly and the sound is as the sound producer intended. I highly recommend this set. I purchased two of these so that I can have the full 7.2.

How do speakers stay on stands?
When it comes to placing speakers on stands, our preferred method is Blu-tack. Some stands come with spikes fitted to the top but we find that most of the time Blu-tack seems to work better. It holds the speaker firmly in place and (we suspect) provides a degree of mechanical de-coupling between speaker and stand.
How high should my speaker stands be?
What is the Ideal Speaker Stand Height for My Home? In terms of height, the best speaker stand should have its tweeter (listening axix) or its smallest speaker at ear level, which is roughly 37″ above the floor – you’ll need a 24-26″-high stand to raise the speaker to this level.
