“I did not expect much when I bought these speaker stands. Wow was I wrong. Very distinct difference in the speaker character. Distinctive change in the base. More solid and pronounced.”
“I purchased the 32" model for my KEF LS30 Anni Edition speakers. They arrived quickly and were easy to assemble. I filled them with playground sand from Home Depot....no leaks as some had reported. After initial assembly, I noticed the columns were not quiet parallel, so I loosened, reoriented, and retightened. I also applied a little oil to the threads of the spikes, and still needed pliers to fully tighten.
I've had the comparable Target stands and can't really tell much difference, if any. Recommended.”
“received the stands today packing was great stands went together with ease. the sound from my speakers is now tighter and image much better .outstanding for the price thanks A.A.”
“For those who do not want to use spikes on hardwood floors it may be of interest that the spike treads are 8M. With that information you can now order feet from Herbie's Audio Lab or other source. Great stands. We are having them powder coated in Piano Black!”
“After initially ordering these stands I changed my mind, feeling that the stands I already own were good enough, and that I could use the money I paid for these stands on something else. I contacted A.A. about returning them, spoke to a person - Beth? - who I remember talking to regarding purchases a few times before - I've pretty much bought my whole system from A.A. - and just like each other instance she was very helpful and patient, and she arranged to have the stands returned. Done deal right?When the stands arrived the box was HEAVY! Hmmm. Out of curiosity I opened the box to see what they looked like, and was instantly hooked on them. They looked/seemed just like what I felt a good stand should be. Thick, heavy, well build stands, plain and simple. My immediate thought after visually seeing them was "No way I'm sending these back." Putting them together was a breeze, and these babies have to hold almost seventy pounds of sand total, between the two. I set the speakers on them, measured of the room/listening seat dimensions, and then sat down to listen.For about a good ten minutes I thought, "Well, not much difference from my old stands. From about minute eleven on I heard a much more solid presentation than with the old stands, with increased bass weight, increased dynamics, and because it was easy to position these speakers accurately, what appears to be a more defined soundstage too, although I'm sure the increased solidity of sound also had something to do with that. Wow. All that AND a bag of chips!In conclusion, I'd like A.A. and its customers to know, THESE STANDS ARE KEEPERS!”
“Excellent!!!!! Had to modify top plate 6" x 8-1/2" by anchoring a 9" x 12" x 1/2" plate to it.. Needed for B&W 805 D3 speakers that had 9-1/8" 6mm mounting holes. Very sturdy sand filled. Highly recommended!”
