I am having a horrible time trying to find a very sturdy, high speaker stand for a pair of monitor 40's. I want to try to get them as tall as possible since they are being used as surround speakers. I also have a 2 year old so I have to consider that. Any help would be appreciated also would like to know what anyone else is using.

Thanks.
My setup:
Pioneer VSX-03
Polk CS2: center
Polk Monitor 60: fronts
Polk Monitor 40's: L+R surround
Polk 505: sub

    I'm using some end tables that I have.. that said.. they are at ear level at that point.. but I still like the sound of it.. If you want to get them higher you could look at a maybe a bookshelf for each one.
    Main 2ch -
    BlueSound Node->Ethereal optical cable->Peachtree Audio Nova 150->GoldenEar Triton 2+
    TT - Pro-ject Classic SB with Sumiko Bluepoint.

    TV 3.1 system -
    Denon 3500 -> Dynaudio Excite 32/22

    I bought a pair of the silver 30" ones from this page for my monitor 40s

    they match perfectly, and are very nice stands.... especially for how cheap they are. Fast shipping and a smooth transaction as well.

    I suggest building some with a hollow but sealed center. Then you can fill the center with kitty litter. That will add stability to the stand.
