You get what you pay for. Not audiophile grade stands, but they get the job done. I would recommend filling them with some type of ballast as they are pretty top heavy with speakers on them. The spikes are pretty lame and on some the screw threading ends before they are flush with the base plate - causing more wobble. If you do not fill them, the hollow tubes may resonate from the transfer vibration from the woofer. I gave these stands two stars because they are better than my speakers sitting on the floor. I will probably try to sell them and get a pair of Sound Anchor Stands in the future.
