Keep the stands if you don't keep the speakers. They're not that common and they look much better than the modern "tower"style stands IMHO. I paid peanuts for my S45-2s, but the seller sold the stands separately for 3 times as much. My FiL gave me a pair a year later so all is good now / CSB.
I see. BTW did you get the cables with your speakers? It's probably a silly question but how do you pair normal size cables with DIN connectors that have tiny cable entries?
