Looking for sturdy studio monitor stands

[fmessier6]

Hey!

I'm looking for something like the photo attached, with these requirements:

• For studio monitors, so at least 90/100 cm tall
• Shipping to Europe (my studio is in Italy)
• Sturdy: able to hold at least 30 kg)
• The feet are not a deal breaker, it could just have a huge metal base
  
  
  

The selection on Thomann is pretty disappointing, either flimsy metal stands or insanely expensive Zaor columns (300+ euro each).

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Assuming you put some sound isolation pads (or something similar) between the top of the stand and the speaker, these could get to 90cm? They can hold 45kg, and while currently sold out if they come back in stock it looks like they’re only €71.99 each.

I have the shorter version of these stands. They are above average quality, but not great. They are very sturdy and will hold heavy speakers. Mine are filled with baking soda and topped with Sorbothane discs. No real complaints.

DIY - a 38 mm strong base plate in MDF with 4 adjustable spikes, a thinner top plate and 2 or 3 pieces of wood planks are all you need for 1 stand. Mounted like a V table. 20 € should be enough for 2 stands if you don't buy the spikes in a hifi shop.

Before throwing money by the windows, it will be better to read the link below.

It's a subject I don't totally understand -to say the least, since it can be very technical. But I want to learn to do it right. First, here are 2 great threads about the subject, covered mainly by Thomas JJ/Northward. All quotes from this message are fro

I also have the shorter version. I filled mine with sand; they have been quite silent. I'm happy with them.
