The stands are made entirely of metal and on the surface structure, they act as if they are sprayed with sand and then painted over it. Therefore, they are not smooth and shimmering light, which I personally liked a lot and I think looks quality. Is halt Geschmacksache.Die baseplate is down with a foam rubber strip circular pasted (a recess for the cable), so that even a smooth floor protected and unscratched wird.Ich use them for two small Bose cubes (8x8 cm), which diesbezgl. , the fastening means of a square enclosed angle (incl. fitting screws). Unfortunately, the rear bow (10cm) is slightly too high for the small cubes so that they hervor- / drüberschauen. Diesbezgl. I'm still thinking if I said Ironing something soon or am satisfied admit. To fasten other boxes in which a mounting on the box bottom is possible three different sized floor panels are attached. Due to the rather thin stand, I think that a use for "Brüllwürfel" absolutely is fine, while I still have my doubts as regards the use of larger / heavier boxes. With regard to the wiring, ie the cable (2x1,5mm) to pass through the stand pipes, I had no problems, but this might not be as easy for thicker cables. Otherwise, both stand are fully fit processed, ie I had no problems with not matching threads. Finally, can I absolutely recommend the speaker stand by my side, at least for "Brüllwürfel"!
