Pangea Audio LS300 Speaker Stand - Pair (28 Inch)

Fini poudre mince, semble sensible à la rouille mais solide.

Ich habe die Ständer für Dali Zensor 3 Boxen gekauft und seit etwa einem Jahr im Einsatz. Es sind meine ersten Lautsprecherständer, darum kann ich keinene Vergleich zu anderen ziehen. Auf mich machen sie aber einen sehr robusten und hochwertigen Eindruck (fühlen sich auch so an), die Kabel können gut durch die Ständer selbst geführt werden und der Aufbau ging schnell und flott von der Hand. Insgesamt bin ich sehr zufrieden und sie wirken unaufdringlich und trotzdem stabil.

I recently purchased a set of these 28-inch speaker stands from Amazon to replace another set that were too low (i.e. 19 inches). Now, the tweeter to my Polk Audio Rti4 monitors is at ear-level when I'm sitting in my listening spot, just the way I like it. These stands made a significant difference in high frequency and mid-range response, too. Everything just sounds clearer and cleaner, more than likely because my floor isn't impacting the sound as much as before. My former VTI stands seem like they are manufactured a bit more robustly than these Pangea Audio stands overall, but for the money these stands are an excellent buy. The stands came well packaged and assembly was relatively easy, too. The only knock I can find with these stands is that some of the powder coating on the edge of the top plates and the underside of the base plate was rubbed off or missing, but this won't be seen in normal use. Two of the tubes for each stand can be loaded with sand or lead to improve stability, but doing so may require some effort, as the holes for filling them are only about 3/8" dia. Also, the stands do not come with cups for the floor spikes if used on hardwood floors, but I just attached some adhesive felt pads to the bottom of mine anyway. Otherwise, I would have rated these stands 5-stars. If you have small monitor-type speakers and don't want to spend exorbitant prices on stands, these 28-inch Pangea Audio speaker stands are the way to go.

Needed some affordable speaker stands for a pair of vintage EPOS ES11 speakers I wanted to put back in my stereo system. The Pangea LS300 stands from Audio Advisor seemed to fit the bill but in the process of assembling them I found multiple defects. The were a couple of dents in the bottom of the base columns which also were covered by a fine layer of red brown rust oxide, the rust is from the inside of the columns and I just wiped it off. The dents in the base would have made it difficult to fill the columns with sand so I used black caulk to seal the bottom before filling. The columns ring like church bells so they definitely needed to be filled. But it wasn't until the stands were 90% assembled that I discovered the top plate on one stand was crooked relative to the base. (see photo) I used some Herbie's Audio Fat Dot squares on the top plate to get better isolation of the speakers from the stands and used Herbie's Audio Threaded Stud Gliders instead of the Pangea spikes to isolate the stands from the floor without damaging the hardwood floors. With multiple tweeks the EPOS ES11s (bought from Audio Advisor many years ago) sound quality is pretty good but if I were to do it again I'd buy a better brand of speaker stands

If you're going to fill them with sand, get Fine Grain sand, not all-purpose, as the all-purpose has larger bits that don't fit through the holes (I learned this the hard way). I covered the holes on the bottom with some duct tape so the sand won't leak through. After I attached the tubes to the base (don't tighten them all the way until you attach the tops) I tightly wrapped and taped a piece of cardboard to the top of the tubes to create a sort of sleeve that extended up a few inches, then poured the sand into that and it flowed into the tubes. Periodically tap on the tubes and you'll hear a deader sound where the sand is so you can guestimate and slow down pouring when it's getting full. A little messy, if you can't do it outside you could put the stand in the empty box so that any spilled sand is mostly caught in the box instead of going all over your floor. After they are filled, loosely attach the top plate, make sure it's all straight and tighten everything up. I guess I can used the all-purpose sand on my walkway this winter.
