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

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.

Excellent speaker stands. Very well made and easy to assemble. Even the bolts for assembly were very high quality. Exceptionally sturdy. I have large Pioneer Elite bookshelf Dolby ATMOS surround speakers mounted on these and they are very stable, even on carpet without any additional ballast in the column support channels. Easy to pass wires up through the base and column to the top. Decorative scallop design of speaker platforms a nice touch. Feet have smooth tips for hardwood floors that can be easily removed to reveal spikes for carpet. Extremely pleased with these. Worth the price. Highly recommend.

Super-solid and super-stable speaker support even before filling the central post with lead shot and concrete mix. Very good looking in a way that doesn't call attention to themselves but also doesn't detract from the speakers, or the rest of the studio/listening room. Great flexibility in providing a choice of sharp carpet-piercing spikes or hard rubber feet by retaining or removing the hard rubber covering over the spikes. Rubber bumpers on the top plate hold speakers securely without marring their finish and provide some decoupling from the stand. And to top off this well thought-out design, even with the large chamber filled with damping/ballast material, there are two channels available for running speaker cable and for amplified monitor speakers, the power lead separately.You could spend hundreds more for "audiophile" speaker stands that are no more solid and certainly less well designed than these.The Nerds service and fast shipping and great price made this an excellent purchase.

Very easy to assemble, nicely constructed product. Looks good around my studio setup.

The build of these stands are nice. But ever since I opened the box there is this intense odor that after 2 months of owning it have still not disappeared. I researched the materials and there only appears to be three used those being aluminum alloy, rubber and the paint. My guess is the paint might be toxic because after throwing these stands away my headaches how been reduced and my room is much more pleasant to be living in again. The smells resembles burnt something. These stands are made in China and I am aware that the regulations are low to non existing. Maybe Ultimate Stand should manufacture their products in the USA I would gladly pay for them if their paint or unknown material did cause me health problems.

Tengo unos KRK Rockit (6) y es la mejor inversión para mis monitores, super estables, de calidad y cero vibraciones. Tamaño perfecto para estos monitores

Very steady, stable and nice looking stands. Quick and easy to assemble. For better stability good to add some silica sand. Posts have a special compartment for it. Posts high enough to stay behind chairs (for back speakers position)Check prices, since they fluctuate. I purchased it for a really great price and happy with the purchase. Rubber bumps on the top plate hold speakers well, but I also used blu tack for better security.

Ultimate stands are the best. Have owned the older types, these new designs are very good. Lots of de-coupling for your speaker. 36inch is a perfect height for project studios, mixing environments etc. The 45 I would place more behine a console or mixing desk.

Blown away by the quality and structural integrity of these amazing stands. I am using them for surrounds in my home theatre set up and they are the best I have ever encountered for this purpose. Just the right height and visually pleasing! Top notch product! Well worth the price.

excellent speaker stands, once filled with dry sand you can hear the audio separation and sturdy enough for adam a77x.
