Excellent Quality
By NCguy
I purchased the Lovan Affiniti 29" Stands for use with my AudioEngine A5's. The AE speakers fit atop these stands as if the stands werecustom fitted for them. Perfect!The Lovan stands are constructed of very heavy gauge steel, and may be filled with either sand or lead as a means of damping out resonances, and making the standa bit more imperturbable. I chose to fill mine with "Play Sand" (about $3) from the local home store, and it works great.The supplied "Spikes" (feet) are essential for a solid footing on carpeted surfaces.The Lovan Stands are easy to assemble with the supplied hex key, and bolts (4 bolts per stand). There IS a tendency for the top and bottom plates to go out of alignment when tightening the bolts, so I have an EZ procedure to prevent this:1) Attach the bottom plate to the two uprights using two (2) bolts. Snug, but do NOT tighten the bolts.2) Fill the uprights with DRY sand, or lead shot. (if using lead shot, DO wash your hands thoroughly afterwards)3) Attach the top plate to the uprights using two (2) bolts. Snug, but do NOT tighten the bolts.4) Lay the stand on it's side on a level, firm surface. A tile floor is perfect.5) In an alternating fashion, tighten the bolts on both the upper and lower plates a bit at a time, until the bolts are fully tightened.6) The stands upper/lower plates should be in perfect alignment at this time. If not, loosen the bolts slightly to relieve any twist, and then retighten slowly.7) Attach spike feet, and you're done.8) Have a beer.9) Go ahead....have another!!!Takes longer to explain than it actually takes to do.In summary, these are great stands, and are substantially more robust than many other offerings. For smaller speakers, these are ideal in most situationsand I can recommend them wholeheartedly.

By Scorpio69
Heavy-duty construction + simple assembly = rock-solid platforms for your speakers. None of that pressed wood junk. These are heavy metal, but with an elegant look. They'll outlast both you and your speakers. In fact, I see no reason why these won't last at least as long as has the Great Pyramid.Hmmm, maybe I'll inscribe something totally indecipherable on them just to screw up future archaeologists...

Sturdy and solid.
By KCCjr
I bought the 29" tall version of the piano black Lovan stands. The contents were packaged solidly by the manufacturer, but poorly boxed by Amazon. The Amazon box was too big, loosely filled (for 26lbs of metal), and poorly taped. Fortunately, the original box was fine and all the metal parts were wrapped well enough for the journey. The piano black paint wasn't particularly smooth, it showed some orange peel surface. The seams on the vertical box tubes was evident mainly because of the glossy paint. The stands are very sturdy and solid. The instructions are sufficient. The picture on the instruction sheet show the back box tube turned 90 degrees from the front one. The floor spikes aren't super sharp and the cap nuts didn't have as glossy a finish as the stand itself. You could see some of the paint seemed buffed off a little. From a distance, you can't tell. Supposedly, one can fill the stands with lead shot or sand. However, each end of the box tube has a recessed cap with a threaded receptacle for the allen screws that bind the plates to the tubes. Unless one is supposed to fill the tubes through this tiny opening, there is no practical way to further weigh or dampen the resonant frequency of the stands. Sure, fill a 29" tall tube with sand or shot through a hole smaller than a straw, I dare you! I never intended to. Assembly is easy. It took me about 10 minutes total. An allen key was provided, too. I put Polk LSi9 on top (14-7/8" H x 8-5/8", 33lbs each) and they are stable. I chose the piano black to complement the piano black finish on the speakers. Visually, the combination of speakers and stands is unobtrusive. Functionally, these would rate about 4.5 stars. But the finish (for $40 more than matte black) is decided lack-lustre and brings the total review to 3 stars. If the price were the same as matte black, I'd give it 4 stars.
