Hey All,

I guess you'll need to be a little careful with regard to the angle.... as the speaker basically 'hangs' off the stand cantilevering over the base it needs to have the perfect balance for stability and I'm sure B&O did a few test stands to get this right... I would recommend doing a mockup first to make sure you've got it right...

Good point Laurence, but I don't think there's any real danger. I guesstimate these S80.2's of mine can be tilted 10-15° degrees each way before they would tip over - about the same as my passive Pentas. The center of gravity is a bit on the front side on these, I guess the smaller and flatter models will be even more stable.

I believe the angle is there purely for the looks - if you leave out the adjustment screw as in my last picture, the bottom of the speaker sits nearly exactly above the bottom of the stand.
