Why are speaker stands so expensive?!
I've been looking to buy a good pair of stands for my bookshelf speakers and for some reason I can't seem to find anything reasonably priced. Why are speakers stands so exorbitantly expensive?
If anyone has recommendations for good stands that won't break the bank, please share!
Note: matching your speaker’s color (not grain) You could ask for unfinished oak, and a few waste strips of that oak (from that batch).. Then you need to try on the waste strips until you find the color that works with that oak that ends up very close to your finish. OR, asked for painted, black or send a color chip, paint can, .... You get the idea, make them look like factory or custom. |
Another vote for the Monoprice stands! I have a pair in 24", 28" & 32". They are WONDERFUL. Can be filled and modified if needed. If you can catch a Monoprice sale with free shipping, they can be really inexpensive. I spent on average for my (3) pair, just $71.00 a pair SHIPPED! Highly recommended!!!

Accessories that do not cost much to produce are where most dealers make their profit. Always has been always will be the case. High end merely takes that to the highest level possible without jail time. There is this thing called capitalism and free markets plus marketing to keep it all humming. Pretty crazy eh?
Oh wait……🙄 |
@phylophyl , exactly. +1 and agree. |
I got those Monoprice stands, and two of the holes did not line up between the platform and the base, so I could only screw in 2 of the 4 screws. I read other reviewers on Amazon saying the same thing. Still works, though. For some speakers, the stands, though extra, are still considered an integral part of the speaker, though for some, the stands are included in the price, like Dynaudio Confidence 20.... |
