Best Quality Stands for Fewest $$$?

Hi all,

I'm looking for a pair of ~ 24" speaker stands. I really like the Osiris stands for $299 delivered, but if I can find something that's almost as good for less money, that'd be great.

I found some stands on partsexpress.com that look pretty nice for only $100. Could this be?

Also, I talked to a dealer about a new pair of stands from Sound Organisation Z570. They're a four pillar design that also looks pretty nice. I can get them for about $210.

Any other recommendations? Anybody have any experience with any of these?

Thanks for your advice,

Dan

I have the Osiris stands--they are extremely solid but also very nicely finished & look GREAT. Probably the nicest stands I've seen.

Get the Osiris and quit farting around. Nothing better unless you pay 600.00+ One ad here is selling NEW for 239.00+shipping, cost me 265.00 to my door. Your speakers will thank you. Fill two thirds with sand, level carefully(can be done while listening) add three balls of Blu-tac, press speaker to stand and enjoy.

If you can find a used pair of Sonus Faber stands, new they are ~ 400, absolutely beautiful and w/o the big metal tube look like the Osiris.

Dan, I have a pair of those $100 stands. They're heavily built and seem pretty rigid. I'm pleased enough with their performance. A good idea to fill them with sand. Filled, they weigh about 30 lb each. That said, I'll add that speaker stands are one of the few audiophile areas where I haven't invested many $. I claim no expertise with the higher-end ones. However, this $100 pair is a big step beyond cheap ones. Gary.
