I think you have answered your own question, it will always bug you a little if you don't have the original stands!
I am not sure where you are located, but on UK Ebay a set of S45-2s with original stands will often fetch less than a set of stands sold separately, so it is worth keeping an eye out and getting a spare pair of speakers into the bargain.

pjorde:Hi Peter,
Thanks for the response...yes, the stands are T6017 and my speakers are T6312. Based on your previous notes, this is not the designated stand for the my speakers. If you were me would you make these stands work or wait to find the T6013s?
