New Speaker Stands Recommendations

[East Anglian Discos]

Hi

I'm going to buy a pair of new speaker stands with a carry bag. I've got 12 years out of my existing ones:)

Any recommendations please?

I use these and they seem to last a few years.

OK i'll have a look at those

I use the ultimate support ts100b stands and find them excellent also bought the bag to go with them which is fantastic quality,plus all parts are available as spares.......the only downside they are quite expensive.

I had other adjectives in mind, of a slightly more emphatic nature. ;)

That said, they're exceedingly impressive, but perhaps best suited to larger/heavier cabs, which need heavy duty support.

I have used these for years, they are solid, super compact & lightweight - perfect for lighter speakers:

they look nice for what I'm after, but do they only go 6 ft high ?

Yep height is restricted, but i have never had a problem even during wedding breakfasts where the speakers need to be as high as possible. Always over head height. In those situations I have used my Proel lighting stand (heavy duty air speaker stand) which goes much higher.

I have everything in one box so space saving is quite important. All my lighting, all three stands and other bits are in this:

In my experience, best speaker stands are K&M from Germany, no question. I've had mine for about twelve years now, and watched all my DJ friends buy and buy again cheap aluminium ones which invariably buckle and dent. Quality costs (naturally!) but I cannot recommend K&M stuff highly enough.
If you can find them in the UK, then try to buy from a UK dealer, but Thomann nearly always do the best deals.

They look nice :)

+1 from me for the Ultimate Support. Pricey, but incredibly stable and very, very well built.

Thanks for your views.

I like the sound of the K&M stands

Does anyone know anything about wind up style stands?

I'm looking for a pair to make like easier for me.

Been looking at NJS Heavy Duty Wind Up DJ Disco PA Speaker Stands which come with a 5 Year Warranty, and have a load rating up to 60kg, which should suit my hisys 2xt's nicely , for about £110 a pair

My only concern with wind up heavy duty stands, were that they were very heavy. For my speakers they were 'over the top' for the weight I was putting on them. Used them twice and sold them on.

I skipped wind up and went for air lift. Much easier (takes more effort to bring them down than put them up!!) and they're still relatively light. There's a few options around for these which cost less than the Ultimate Support ones (similar to your wind up stands) and are even lighter than the ultimate support. Just Google
