Stands and Mounts is a good site for all kinds of stands: http://www.standsandmounts.com/

Be careful if you have kids around, speaker stands can become top heavy and easy to knock over.

What is the dimensions between spikes in HB-1 ?
Could it be equal 6"x6" by the chance?
I'm looking for nf-30 http://www.sanus.com/assets/NF30-M1_NF30-NF36_cut_sheet.pdf
Would it fit?

Yan, that stand should work very nicely. The HB-1 MK2 does not have anything on the bottom of the speaker, it's smooth there. If going on a flat surface, one can use four small pieces of double-sided tape.

Note that the distance from the bottom of the HB-1 MK2 to the tweeter is 11 inches. So the ideal height for the speakers is with tweeter at ear level when sitting down (ie. height of stand + 11 inches = height of ear when sitting down).

Sincerely,
Yan

Thank you Pete for your advice The distance between the bottom of the speaker and center line of tweeter will help me to choose height of stand more precise.
My ear level when sitting down in my primary listening position is 32" what need speaker stand apr. 20". Ear level in my secondary listening position(bar stool in my kitchen) is 53" what needs 42" stand. So to feel comfortable in both positions I think about average stand height of 30" ;)
