Review on πŸ”Š Monoprice Elements Speaker Stand - 23 Inch (Pair) with Cable Management and Tempered Glass Base - Black, Model 139495 by Jason Bell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

One sided but for the wrong reasons

I got them yesterday, I have a section they are perfect for when it comes to my front speakers; Klipsh RP-600M. When I opened the box, I noticed that they were pretty cheap, as expected. Right off the bat I didn't need any instructions to read them, but as I assembled them I noticed I had some assembly bumps as well. my speakers. One frame tilted up, the other to the side. I read the manual and it said nothing about leveling the base that the speaker sits on. Until I discovered something. The plastic piece you attach to the bar will not seat properly due to poor tolerances. This forces the base of the speaker to be at any angle and that's the problem. What I had to do was press on each corner and then hear the plastic push through the outside edge of the bar and I checked the bubble level. I went from 4 degrees to about 1.2 degrees. I secured the rest with spikes to position the speaker properly. Aside from my $600 speakers being horribly unsteady and possibly an accidental but entirely possible hip bump against the stand, I couldn't believe what nearly killed those stands. I had a plastic seal there.
