A:AnswerThey are just for isolating the speaker from the stands. Some people prefer doing that, but Sanus also provides small pieces of foam with adhesive pre-applied on one side.
A:AnswerHello Baker,
Thanks for the question. Yes, these stands should work for your speakers as they are 10lbs a piece and the stands hold up to 25lbs.
Enjoy and thanks again,
Michael with the SANUS Care Team
A:AnswerNot really. If you check the dimensions of the 161's they won't fit without hanging over quite a bit. The 161's do however come with wall mounts included.
A:AnswerI don't know specifically about the Bose speakers, but the stands do come with two different "platforms" at the top -- you install one or the other. One of them is quite small, and it's the one I use.
A:AnswerHello There,
This will fit all speakers under 25lbs. The platform is 6" x6" on top and the base of the stand is 11.75" deep by 10.5" wide. If you have any other questions, please call us at 800-359-5520. We're here 7 days a week to help!

A:AnswerHi LM,
Our speaker stands are meant to be universal. If the hole pattern on the speaker doesn't line up, we provide neoprene pads to make sure they adhere the speaker to the stand. Our awesome Customer Care team would be able to walk you through this process if you give them a ring @ 800-359-5520.
Thanks,
Jake with SANUS
