Comment:
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.
