    I have the Pangea stands. They are very stout. The Mono Price stands look very similar at almost half the price. Had the Monos been available when I was in need of stands,they would have been my choice.

    After reading your post ZLTFUL, I would say the mono,and pangea are pretty close in looks and function. I don’t have the Pangeas loaded,yet......

    I noticed on the monoprice you have to use silicon to seal them before you fill them.

    I have a set of the Pangea DS300, which I think are an earlier version of the DS400. I'm not sure of the design differences. I thought the DS300 stands are a bit expensive for their build quality. Had the Monos been available at that time I'm pretty sure I'd just have tried those.

    Re: the use of sealant on the Monoprice ones - sealant of some sort is required on the Pangea ones, too. I used pieces of Dynamat at the bottom to seal them before mass loading with sand. I haven't had any leaks.

    Here's a thread where I detailed the build. You can see how I sealed them.

    I disabled signatures.

    I have the Pangea Audio DS100 All-Steel Speaker Stands (got them when they were on sale from AA for ~ 1/2 price). I would not recommend the DS100 with the single pole as it is not very stable, even when filled with non-clumping clay cat litter. A set of the Pangea stands with 3 or 4 legs would even out the weight distribution and would be much more stable. They only came with spikes so I put some felt on the bottom to keep them from scratching up the floors. I have not had the Monoprice stands but they look like a good deal. The Skylan stands are probably amazing but are too $$$ for me.

    I have Skylan stands, they're awesome. He'll make them to fit your speakers and ear height exactly.
