Hey RGA, I see you talking about the Skylan stands a lot, so I checked them out. But I'm curious about what they are made out of....you said they are some sort of fiberboard? How heavy are they?

I currently use these stands:

Which are $175. They are thick steel, and they take at least 3 people to move around when I have them filled. I assume since you chose not to use a heavy steel stand like these and spent more for the Skylans you think they are better, so why are they better?

What makes the 4 pillar Skylans $150 better? I'm serious here, sell 'em to me! I'm finally upgrading my rear speakers to match the front and I'm planning on using those same Studio Tech stands right now.

Are they heavier/more stable than the steel stands? Although it would take a small tractor to knock mine over now....I can't imagine anything being any more sturdy.
