I have gone back and fourth on this, I have Skylan and Target steel stands for my Spendors, they do not sound the same. The steel has more top end and retail, the MDF more laid back. I have some Micro Bearings ordered to load the steel stands, I took the kitty litter out of the Skylan . I like the steel better at the moment but am still working on them. The Atacama stands look good and are not too high.
MDF vs. Steel Speaker Stands
I am looking for stands for Spendor SA1's, which are 12"H x 6.5"W x 7.5" D. Do you have an opinion on whether stands with steel posts are superior to MDF posts? Any recommendations on stands that do not cost a fortune, i.e., $150 or less? (The Spendor stands for these list price $2195 small bookshelf speakers are prohibitively expensive ($650); what were they thinking?) Thank you.
