Why are speaker stands so expensive?!

@roxy54 TonTrager, I have them for my Harbeth HL5s! BTW, I bought the Harbeths used and the seller included the stands!

Monoprice has great stands at very reasonable prices. Heavy and sturdy.

I use something like this....

Yes, that is the name that I was thinking of. They are beautiful, and specifically designed to allow all surfaces of that box to resonate if I recall. You were very fortunate to get them with the speakers.

Those stands look good. Timbernation also makes good stands of different solid hardwoods.

I’m not sure what you consider to be expensive, but I’m a big fan of Kanto SX22 and Kanto SX26 speaker stands. Both the 22” and 26” models come in black or white. There’s a lot I like about them.

• They are made of thick metal, and they can also be sand-filled. Once so, they weigh about 40lbs.
• They come with innovative isolation feet whose spikes easily pull off to reveal silicone footers for hard floors.
• They come with two different sized plates to accommodate both large and small sized standmount speakers.
• they have a cable hiding mechanism, if your speaker cables can fit.
