Ultimate Support MS-100R MS Series Professional Column Studio Monitor Stand with Adjustable Angle and Axis - Red

I needed a stand that would pick the speakers up above the floor as I no other place to put them. They were easy to assemble, look great, and though a little bit pricey, I would not hesitate to recommend them is function and good simple looks are important. Well made construction and easy to assemble.

The media could not be loaded.  These stands are amazing and look Super Classy. They hold my Klipsch "RP 150M" Monitor Speakers like a glove. They were extremely easy to build almost to easy. They are well built. They came well packaged in 3 boxes till you get to the original shipper blue and white box, so you know they want these to arrive damage free :o)Almost instantly , I was able to hear a difference in the Clarity of my Klipsch Monitor speakers, they even sounded louder and Crisp.I know these are a bit expensive, but well worth it. Save your money and get these, Don't settle for less. Down the road if you want to get rid of them I am sure they will hold their value well and it won't be much of a loss when compared to cheaper stands that hold little to no resale value.Adjusting the sound isolating damping pad was simple and easy.Wire Management is clean. Has 3 channels, Two chambers for power and Speaker wire, 3rd and largest chamber can be filled with sand or any other material, except lead, which is dangerous to handle or have laying around.Round top Metal plate that sits under adjustable sound isolating pad also has a few holes as well to run speaker wire for a wire free stealth look.Con? Not really. If you have a set of professional factory made dual Banana plugs that have the "Y" adapter you won't be able to get them through the top metal plate where the isolating pad sits at, because the pre made holes to run the wires are made for bare wires before before a Banana plug is attached to the speaker wire itself. Good news is that you can run the professional "Y" Factory made Banana plug wires under the Isolating pad as well for that clean wire stealth look. Please view photos amd video for a better picture of my Explanation.Ultimate Support should make a hole at least an inch or inch and a half wide so professional factory made "Y" Style wires can be run through. Just a thought Ultimate Support :o)I would definitely Recommend these Beefy Sexy, Ultimate Support MS-100B Speaker Stands.Sold by PitBull Audio. Fast Shipping and in A+ Condition. Thanks Pitbull Audio.

I bought these from midi store. Be advised that the units they are selling are not current product. Based on the manufacturer's website, current product is in a blue and white box and is required if you ever want to get longer stalks.Now, with that said, I kept them but I'm not really happy with them. I don't know what monitors the other reviewers are putting on these, but I can tell you my Emotiva Stealth 8's are well on the outer edge of safe. If you touch the monitors, the stands wobble back and forth. If you ever have anyone who is unmindfull and bumps into them, they will be on the floor. I've ordered some molle straps and sand bags to hopefully make me a little more comfortable with other people in the room. I'll post some photos and a video when I have some time.Docking two stars for instability.

These things are pretty remarkable. Especially if you take the time to fill them with sand, they do an amazing job of isolating your monitors. I have a pair of Mackie HR 824 Mk 2s which are some serious speakers with 8.25 inch drivers and a lot of power and previously, they could easily shake the hell out of my house when placed directly on a desk.Now that I have them on these stands and in the proper equilateral triangle positioning and angle adjustments, their sound stays tightly inside of the listening area. You'll have more than enough listening volume in your chair but get up and walk to the side and note an immediate drop-off in db outside of the sweet spot. This is great, especially if you're in some situation where sound carry to neighbors could be an issue. My monitors are now also producing a crazy level of detail I wasn't getting before. And songs that used to sound especially bassy now have so much more depth in the mix. My mixdown and mastering is going to be a surgical endeavor from here out. I can really catch frequency and stereo separations like never before. My already awesome monitors sound like I paid another $1000 for them.The cable routing is likewise great as I'm crazy OCD about cable management and keeping things tidy. It just looks decidedly pro. I found that 15 foot TRS cables and grounded power lines provided plenty of slack for routing everything. Might have made it with just 10 foot cables but that's pushing it for my configuration.My only real complaint is the angle adjustment mechanism seems a tad flimsy and does not seem like it would respond well to the speaker stands being bonked into if you have some big monitors (which these stands really seem made for, otherwise). If you can keep them in a safe place away from through traffic, you should be fine but for a set of stands otherwise built like tanks, the tilt mechanism on the top plates doesn't meet that grade of heftiness.Zero other complaints and that wont stop me from giving 5 stars. Buy these, forget the rest.

Pros:Great quality steel (much better than expected)Good designHuge sound improvement over desk mounted monitorsSand didn't leakCons:The "pads" that the monitors rest on only have these little plastic spikes to hold on to the stand. I know this is for decoupling, but it actually makes them unstable.

Product came damaged. I paid $620 for speaker stands, they couldn't even give me a pristine product at that price point. Might as well have gone with some $50 stands.
