Probably not helpful, but on that page were links to stands.

Yep.  I'm always running into problems like that.  Most people just  
compromise, but I can't stand not getting exactly what  want.

Yes.

What I mean to say is that online stores and even some local shops  
I've been in list "keyhole speaker stands", but when you go look at  
them, that isn't really what they are.  They have a fairly liberal  
definition of what "keyhole" means it seems.

I did find some stands a year ago by going to a local guitar center.   
Unfortunately they were out of my budget, but the guys in that place  
knew what I was looking for so I just put my project on the back burner.

Maybe you should try some local pro music shops.
