Why are speaker stands so expensive?!

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.... 

On the Monoprice stands that the screws don't align, make sure you have the top plate on correctly.  Turn it 90 degrees and the holes should line up.

I made that mistake on my first pair.  The top plate runs in line with the bottom plate, not across.
