Speaker Stand for Focal SR 900 Surrounds

Greetings,

I have two questions re: speaker stands I'd be grateful for help with:

1) Does anyone know if the Focal SR 900 surround speaker has screw holes on the underside? I won't be able to wall mount my surrounds, and so am looking for a reasonable stand solution.

2) If the answer to question 1 is that no, it doesn't take screws, then I'd like to find a stand that is a) very sturdy, and b) good for sound. Dimensions I'm looking for would be:

Height: >25"
Width: 16-18"
Depth: 8-12"

I realize this is a lot of constraints, and there may not actually exist a stand that meets all of them. I've searched online a fair amount (e.g., various "best of 2020" lists from high end audio sites), but have so far been unsuccessful. Would be grateful if anyone has a hot tip.

All best wishes, and thanks for reading,

Brian

Since it has a mounting bracket on the back doubt there's anything on the bottom as well. You could always drill your own (but make sure the crossover isn't in the way).
You could simply build your own stands to spec if you can't find any. Why do you only want 25" height, tho? Why the bi-pole style of speaker, too?

I think those SR900 surround speakers were meant to be mounted on a wall, not standing away from a wall.

You can make screw holes with threaded inserts anywhere you wish in a speaker with a wooden cabinet. Buy threaded inserts for soft wood. You can get them with #8-32 threads or ¼-20 threads, with or without flanges, in various lengths. Get them short enough, 10 or 13 mm, so they don't go all the way through the wood cabinet. One brand name is E-ZLOK, but there are others. Here are some examples with flanges:

They're easy to install. A bag of 25 allows you to practice on some scrap wood. The tools you need are a drill, drill bits, and an Allen wrench set.
