Much also depends on type of speakers you are using. Found that Maggies blom with the added rigid support of Mye stands. The Maggie community has embraced them and recommended as the most bang for the buck upgrade you can acquire.
Do different speaker stands can really make a big sound improvement?
I am looking for stands for my new Harbeth P3ESR XD speakers and wonder how much improvement one can actually hear between close to a $1000 stands and a $100 one filled with sand?
