I'm getting my LSi9's fairly soon and need some 27" or so stands to match. Black preferably as I have an uber dark (chocolate as my g/f calls it) wood entertainment center so no wood finishes. My 9's are ebony so I might go with a black wood stand as well. I'd like to get something that is extremely sturdy and possibly even hollow that I can fill with lead shot. I've seen Sanus and a few other brands, and I know there's gotta be hundreds of companies making them that I haven't heard of. What do you guys like when it comes to stands???

Car Setup: OEM Radio, RF 360.2v2, Polk SR6500 quad amped off 4 Xtant 1.1 100w mono amps, Xtant 6.1 to run an eD 13av.2, all Stinger wiring and Raammat deadener.

    Those also seem like good solid choices. I was contemplating the UFs, but I wanted to get something with a larger baseplate, seeing that my LSi9''s are 15" deep. Plus, the triangular base of the UF's would conflict with the floor space I have allocated for my audio rack and subwoofer.

    I found some stands that I like but can't find a decent price. They're Target Audio HR70's (28") and found a set once for $175 but seemed to have misplaced that page. Everything now is $200 and above. I just don't know if I can justify $200 for speaker stands... $150 maybe. I want something that I can fill with shot/sand and has straight lines (nothing tubular like the Sanus UF30's). Anyone know of a similar model stand??

    I saw these for your LSi9's, but they are tubular.
