These near field monitor stands come from a highly respected pro product manufacturer - Ultimate Support. We have used many of their products in the live sound industry and rely on the name to provide us with with quality, well built tools. Their execution on these monitor stands does not disappoint. They are "pricy", but worth every cent. The attention to detail is exemplary. Wide stable tripod base. Rubber isolation feet. Internal cable tunnels on the upright supports for a clean look. A separate tunnel to add shot or sand for additional mass if desired (I did not). Another rubber isolation pad on the speaker platform. Horizontal and vertical angle adjustment on the speaker platform. All of the separate parts fit together perfectly on assembly. Highly recommended
