Monolith 28 Inch Speaker Stand (Each) - Black | Supports 100 lbs, Adjustable Spikes, Compatible With Bose, Polk, Sony, Yamaha, Pioneer and others

After reading countless reviews, I decided to purchase these stands for my new Polk R200's. Item came well packaged. 1) Extremely easy to assemble (reiterating a tip share by another reviewer - do not tighten all screws till you get all the legs nice and straight. 2) Filled all the 8 tubes with a 20-lb 5$ bag of cat litter. 3) For the feet, I purchased some M8x25 feet from the BigRiver and since we have hardwood floors, put some felt pads on those. Both stands are solidly stable! 4) For the speakers, used some Bostick DAP putty under the speakers where they sit on the stand top plate (stock plate is more than sufficient to hold my R200's nicely). Overall, the sound improvement with the cat litter fill, bostick was so good even my wife (not a audio enthusiast at all) was like "This sounds good!" and she watched "Elvis" again as it sounded so good! Buy these as you cant go wrong!.

The parts are high quality and it was dead simple to put together. They look fantastic. The only con I can think of is that there was a tiny ding in the finish that I noticed while building them. It is not noticeable unless you're staring straight at it so I don't see it as a major issue. I just flipped that side to face the wall.

Another Monoprice home run. These stands are stable solid reasonably priced and easy to assemble. I added some Hudson hifi idolaters to the top and some adhesive cable management that's out of sight down the center. Very pleased with these stands!

Excellent speaker stands I filled both tubes with aquarium gravel so there?s not any vibration. With the aquarium gravel it makes it a lot more sturdy and won?t move f it gets bumped. A 20 pound bag works well may get another one to top them off. That being said they are made very well and look great purchased some black zip ties to pull the speaker cables between the back space to secure them and keep them out of sight.

We have a few of these supporting anything from 50 to 80 lb speakers. They arrived double boxed, which was nice. These allow you to fill each stand vertical piece with ~20lbs of sand, damping resonance and adding mass for stability. You simply attach the base to an almost tight, or tight enough to now allow sand to spill out during the filling process. Turn the open top stands upright, then you stuff a funnel in the top and carefully pour the sand in. When it fills to the top, simply tap on the vertical pieces a few times to compress and settle the sand, then top everything off then tighten the top plate. The sand level will drop more than you think it will, so keep tapping until you see the sand level no longer drops. Turn the stand on its side, twist the vertical colums into place, and fully tighten the bottom plate. We've found that using 3M clear paint protection film allows you to protect your speaker from any scratches and it acts like an anti-slip surface as well. As we have experienced with all Monolith items, these are a great value for the money.

Very solid. Easy to fill with sand. My issue is the top plate is not flat. One speaker only makes contact on the 3 corners and the other doesn?t make contact in the middle. This has made my use of decoupling materials less effective.

Very good and sturdy. Hold my 8" sub woofer, no problem.

Nice quality stands. Easy to assemble. Would recommend these to anyone looking for nice stands for a reasonable price should purchase these

Very surprised at the quality for the price. These stands are very nice!

I have 2 sets of these in the top two heights. I've got a set of ELAC BSU5s on one and Tekton Mini Lore Monitors on the other. These are really solid for the money. I highly recommend filling them at least 1/2 way with sand or shot as they really ring when assembled and not filled. Note there is no cable management on these. I wish they came with alternative feet for hard floors. That sea some adhesive clips for cable management would make them about perfect.

i use these with The Fives from Klipsch. i did not fill mine. these are extremely solid and well made! if placing on wood or tile order these adjustable rubber feet: 352-30-15-M8-S-55 2419-352-30-15-M8-S-55-ND RUBBER BUMPER CYLINDRICAL STEEL Shipped By: J.W. Winco

Very solid and sturdy. They look expensive. I'm totally satisfied.

These stands are very well made and sturdy, just make sure to fill them with sand; they ring like a bell without it. They are comfortably heavy, and with the added weight of the sand I?m confident they can take an accidental bumping-into. For the price point these are really unmatched, and they look great.

The stands look good and are just what we expected.

The height was as described but it was a lot heavier than I expected and worked great!

These stands are in my opinion the best value for a premium look and build as well as its overall package for what you get out of the box. They were shipped very well packed in the Monoprice logo box with heavy duty straps to ensure a premium experience. I still can?t believe how inexpensive these were. I really felt like I got my money?s worth compared to other brands that look just like these but have their own badge on them. This is also my first time buying directly from Monoprice, the shipping was fast, and painless. As soon as these arrived I was able to put them both together with ease. Are there cons? Yes but only if you don?t like to modify. There is no cable management. You have to machine that yourself. There are only spikes for carpet, not hardwood floors, so you have to modify and buy some rubber feet as well. You can al also modify the the stand by using sand or something similar for sound deadening for the 4 tubes. So firm or me these aren?t cons, these are fun mods to mess around with or alter to my needs, as I like little projects like these. Strait out of the box though these are beautiful. I highly recommend these

I love these stands at the price point. The only stands that I like better (for certain bookshelf speakers) are in the $600.00 range. These are that nice. Cannot recommend them enough.

Great stands. Fast shipping. No drama assembling. As advertised. Work perfectly. Reasonably priced. And I'm a picky PITA. Thanks MP!

Super stands when modified. Ring like a bell when assembled and speakers would fly right off the top. 30 lbs of sand and some Gorilla double sided tape that comes in black solved both of those. So less than $10 to solve both of those. One gripe in todays world the fasteners would work better if Torx or square headed ones where used. You have to spend about $125 each to get stands that did not seem superior in any way.

I have purchased two sets of these speaker stands and have been very pleased with both sets. They are super sturdy and look great. I would definitely recommend them.
