I'm Looking for Speaker (Monitor) Stands

Hi,

I am on the market for good speaker stands.

This is what I found. - Premium Pedestal Stands Pair 78cm Tall for Home Theatre Bookshelf Speakers Black $135

I want them to be sturdy, good quality, nice looking.

Are there any better alternatives?

Thanks.

  • LPT: if the uprights are of hollow material, if you can gain access, fill with sand to dampen any resonance.

    Edit: read the description, hardwood upright. Ignore comment above.

    • Thanks, could not understand what LPT means.

    Those ones look light and wobbly to me.

    These look better to me. Most of them are sand fillable.

    • Thanks, but they all look a bit like coffins. I prefer modern design. Also, prefer not to use wood.

  • As someone who purchased $199 speaker stands and was able to resell them for the princely sum of $30. You may want to check through Gumtree and fb marketplace for higher quality (heavier) stands for less.

    • Yes, that was my first option, but I could only find some overpriced and rusty ones, no good options. I will keep checking there as well.

  • I used to work for a government department that dealt with safety and possibly health.

    Our monitor stands were phone books.

    A shame if you actually needed a phone book. I am going back a very long time when I say this!

    • I am talking studio monitors, not displays.

    • Not bad thanks, cheap and good looking. The spikes look scary though, I hope they are rubber or plastic, otherwise they will scratch out of speakers and hard floors.

      • I think the spikes at least on the floor side are to give grip on carpet, best to email the seller I guess or try these glass ones dearer but …
