No experience with the Skylans but I used the Sanus Steel Foundation stands for awhile and passed them along to a friend when I sold her my Soliloquy 5.0's. They're nice stands, well made and good looking. When you fill the tubes with sand they're quite heavy and with the wide base they're very stable. They were the best thing I could find in that price range when I was shopping.
Sanus, Skylan stand questions
I just bought some small monitor speakers; my first. They are Era Design 5s; rather small, with two mounting threads on the bottom.
I now need stands, and have narrowed the choices down to these three:
1. The manufacturer recommended the Sanus Ultimate Foundations. A bit more than I want to spend, at about $300.
2. Sanus also has the Steel Foundations stands, which are a more reasonable $150.
3. Skylan.
All three allow mass-loading.
Any experiences/opinions that can inform my decision? Between the 1 and 2 option, for example, I'm curious what I'm paying twice the price for, and whether it's really worth it?
