StingRayBoy42 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Can anyone recommend some PA speaker stands? I know K&M are the best, but jebus they're pricey. Any decent budget ones I should know about? Any I should avoid? Ta Edited August 21 by StingRayBoy42 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 K&M are highly regarded because not only are they more robust than most of the competition, but should something break they make spares easily available. My band doesn't have any speaker stands because everywhere we play has in-house PA systems but all our instrument and equipments stands are K&M and personally I would have to have a very good reason to consider anything else. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWarning Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 we bought the cheapest ones we could find about 18 years and well over 700 gigs and ago they've had a few repairs over the years, replacing nut's and bolts that have fell out and got lost, but they're still going strong, we may have got lucky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Whatever you choose, check also the weight. K&M isn't very heavy, and the price included a functional bag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I own some Gorilla ones and they're fine. Although after buying a K&M microphone stand I'd buy their speaker stands if I needed another pair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorilla ones for me too, they've needed a nut and a star bolt replaced in ten years or more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chienmortbb Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I am another K&M stand Fanboi but I have boughgt two stands recently that were not K&M. Speaker stands. Novopro. These have a limited amount fo air cushioning but for heavy12s and 15s it only helps a bit. However, rather than those silly metal rods that poke through holes in the stand, the Novopros have a latching system that works really well. I also bought a mic stand that was not K&M but that was a stock issue. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
