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

If you are willing to invest some "elbow grease", and are
into the homebrew method, a " Target" type stand can be made
at a very reasonable cost! The 2x3" rectangular tubing and the top/bottom plates cab be cut to length/dimensions, and can be found at a steel supply company. Some grinding/filing
will be required to finish the edges(the hard part). The columns can then be "soldered" to the top/bottom plates using a propane torch and massive amounts of solder and flux. The finished stands can be painted(I used flat black),
and drilled/threaded for spikes and sand filling. Mine cost
about $75 total, and weigh 100 lbs each. For pictures, email
