“I had originally purchased the 26" pair for 2ch. Then purchased the 34" for rears. Assembly was pretty straight forward. I've had projects that got a little complicated but this was cake. These stands are pretty sturdy as is, you can add shot or sand for additional stability but mine are stock and I've had absolutely no issues. I use these for PolkAudio LSiM 703's. You get the option of using tiny spikes or rubber isolators to support the speaker. I opted for the rubber pads and everything is cool.”
