Cambridge SoundWorks Speaker Stands, Fixed At 31" (Pair), Black

Summary: You get what you pay for....
Review: Cambridge SoundWorks makes these relatively inexpensive speaker stands for their ensemble IV satellite speakers. They are adequate for the job, but less than desirable. The 31" fixed height is shorter than the ideal height of speaker stands. Since most surround sounds pros advise speaker height to be at the level of one's ears when sitting, these stands fall a bit short of that. The stands are very simple in design: wooden base, metal pole which can conceal the speaker wire, a few screws that tighten w/ an allen wrench. I bought the Ensemble IV system b/c it was so inexpensive and I just started out in the surround sound experience, and I'm quite happy w/ it. However, I do wish these speaker stands were eaither fixed at a taller height, or even better, were adjustable.
