“I wish I had bought these stands before I spent a similar amount on another pair that were not nearly as well made, and which could not be filled with shot or sand as these can. Easy to assemble. You will want to use a funnel if you choose to fill them with sand or lead shot. I did add some lead shot to mine for added stability because they are supporting a pair of rather large and heavy 3-way M-Audio M3-8 self powered monitors. The three supporting posts really make them solid and they look good as well. Obvious quality as to design, construction, materials. As a careful shopper I really wanted to spend less, but was disappointed when I did. I am well pleased with everything about these, and recommend them enthusiastically.”
“I didn't know my bookshelf speakers could sound this good! Once I got them off the wooden entertainment center and onto the LS300s my speakers for hi-fi and TV really rock. These stands are highly recommended and a great value.”
“My audio nut friend told me I would get better sound if I put my Dynaudio Excite speakers on a speaker stand instead of my bookshelf. Turns out he was right. These speaker stands were a HUGE improvement in the sound of my speakers. Now its like the performance is in my room instead of behind the wall. Best upgrade ever.”
“I saw these stands in a room at the Rocky Mountain HiFi Show in Denver. I was pretty shocked at how good they looked for the price. I was using a pair of PSB Monitor B speakers on single-post Sanus stands. I talked to the guy in the room - Stephen? - and he suggested I try a pair. These stands come in a heavy box but they come in two boxes that are wrapped with tape so they were ok. The stands went together in around 15 minutes. Then I poured in my special mix of kitty litter + steel shot to deaden them further. I also use blutack to mate my speakers to the top plate. Blutak is better than spikes IMO. My speakers really sound great. I'd swear the soundstage got deeper. Sharper transients, too. A good upgrade for $120.”
“I bought new b&w 685 bookshelf speakers last year and put them on my old wood stands. I love the sound of the 685 but not the base. I also was worried about putting an expensive speaker on an inexpensive stand. I just got a pair of LS300 stands and I love'm. Well constructed, good finish, and rock solid. I use blutack to mate the speakers to the stands. My speakers look better, are more secure and I think they have better bass now, too.”
“The guy down to hall bought one of these Vulcan racks. Neither one of us could believe how nice it was for the price. So I ordered one. I got mine in two days. It went to gether in a few minutes. Joe bought a black one, but I sprung for the rosenut finish. Nice finish. The Rack is real solid. Now my turntable wont skip when my roommate slams the door. Recommended without hesitation.”
