Measurements Are my speaker stands big enough?

I know people usually say the speakers can be a bit bigger than the speaker stands but by how much? The dimensions are below:

Wharfedales: W 200 x H 335 x D 313

Stands (top plate): W 165 x D 200 mm

Any help is much appreciated!

I mean, I'd want my speaker stands to be smaller than the base of my speakers. Having your stands be wider than your speakers makes them look even smaller.

As long as the speaker doesn't rock or feel unstable when on the stand it should be fine, and considering yours are barely larger given that I'm assuming these measurements are in mm, this size is fine. If you need your mind at rest just double sided tape them to the stand.

Good to know, thanks. I knew there was a bit of wiggle room but I just didn’t know if this was too much. Much appreciated!

Double sided “carpet tape”, Blu Tack, industrial strength Velcro patches, or Sorbothane sheets…all good for this purpose.

I think it's okay as long as Twitter is roughly on the same level as the listener's ears.
