Ultimate Support MS-90/36B 36 Inches Studio Monitor Stands - Black Finish

I recently purchased this product ie (Jan. 2025) after returning a pair of speaker stands that were constructed of cheap pressed wood. These bookshelf speaker stands are constructed of Aluminum & are designed to hold a decent amount of weight. The cable management built into each stand is exceptional. The top plate has four rubber mounts which are excellent & do absorb vibrations a speaker may resonate. You really get what you pay for with these speaker stands. If you want cheap then that's up to you, but if you're in the market for great quality bookshelf speaker stands then these may just be the ones for you. Each tower stands @ 36 inches in height & have a solid heavy base plate which comes with rubber feet. If you're going to purchase these stands make sure you know the exact weight of your bookshelf speakers & dimensions. I personally recommend this product & I'm glad I spent a little more for something that's going to last for years.

These stands were recommended to me by an audio equipment and speaker manufacturer (Emotiva) as what they use in their sound room. While they are expensive, I have never seen a better engineered and made pair of satellite or bookshelf speaker stands.As a former “high-end” audio sales person, I have seen and sold a number of types of speaker stands over the years…some good and some not so good. These stands are beautifully made, and have precisely machined bolt holes that make assembly a breeze as long as you leave the bolts slightly loose and fit everything together before final tightening. Standard carpet spikes (a MUST if you have carpet) can also be covered with plastic caps if you don’t wish to use the spikes, although they definitely make the stands more stable… There are also a couple of internal channels in the main stand column, one of which can be filled with shot or sand to increase the mass, while the other can be used to run cabling up to the speakers so that it is invisible… Great design and engineering! I can detect no resonance whatsoever and my speakers stay put on the top of the stands..The double boxed packaging is also impressive, with everything packed in protective plastic and all major parts zip tied to a cardboard backing so things do not shift around in the box and hit each other during transit, all the way from China. Everything arrived in pristine condition and there were no missing parts.These are fairly contemporary looking so they may not fit into every decor. My wife is not too crazy about the look but I bought them for sound quality and not for the styling (hehe) so if you want some thing that is more invisible you may want to look elsewhere. But you certainly won’t find stands that are better made.While some may find it hard to call these a “good value” at over $2XX per pair, this really is the case…you won’t get better for less money! I am very satisfied and highly recommend these satellite speaker stands!

I needed something stable and fillable for Neumann KH120a monitors. I think the stands are great. Totally stable and they even look cool. I filled them with baked playground sand (fyi it made the place kinda smelly for a few days) and there's no ringing at all. I like how they have the different chambers inside. I wish they were adjustable but they happen to be at the perfect height for me in a mixing situation, which is how I use them. The speakers sound fantastic on them and I was really surprised at the amount of improvement.Some cons:I don't think a 2nd set of stands would fit right next to these (like for a 2nd set of monitors), the legs would get in each other's way but I could be wrong. Also the tops are kinda small. It's fine for a KH120a but for instance a Presonus Eris E8 XT or Yamaha HS8 might be too big for the top platform. And that's a shame because I think the stands could handle those speakers just fine otherwise. Also the way the feet are means I can't get the back of the speaker as close to the wall as I'd like. I suspect it'd lose stability if the design were different so I'm ok with it.Overall, if I had the bucks and needed another set of stands I'd likely get these again.

I'll start this off by saying the 3 legs make me a little nervous, especially considering my new room has a slightly sloped floor, although I could alleviate it by placing sand inside the center of the stands. I would assume the 3 legs is to make it easier to place the stand whichever angle you'd like, though I'd still prefer a 4th leg.These are quite heavy in their own right, but I imagine they'd be even more so if you fill them with sand to make them more sturdy--they're already rather study to begin with. The rubber isolation pads on the top can easily be removed, they just pop out of their sockets. I mention this because of their size and shape, they might not be adequate for the way you rest your monitors on them, in which case pulling them out then putting full size isolation pads on top would suffice.They're a little pricey, but because of the build quality and robustness I think I'll get my moneys worth for many years to come.

Nice sturdy stands. I added pebbles to the column for weight and stability. These stands are not adjustable which makes them solid, rigid, and limited in their application; its a trade off.I've bumped into these stands multiple times and they never fell over, very good.
