Re: Advice on Speaker Stands

They don't look very solid to me :lol: :lol: something solid my arse :roll: Rigidity is the 'selling' point. One advantage is that they are made to measure - so they can be made wider than 'off the peg' 60cm speaker stands. But if you want really solid... http://imageshack.com/a/img924/4424/KK1itf....
