K&M 26740

I’m a recording enthousiast and these stands are my first speaker stands ever. I wanted to get stands to seperate my Adam A7x monitors from my desk and this seemed like a solid choice. My monitors fit nicely on them

Pro: The stands are easy to install and feel very sturdy. I’m confident that if I bump against them my speakers won’t fall. They seem to do a good job at separating the speaker from the room.

Cons: it looks like one of the stands is slightly leaning. (In all honesty, it could be my floor that’s a bit crooked) the round base makes it a bit awkward to set your speakers up. But after quite a bit of moving around I got them set up perfectly. (Tip: follow the Phantom Speaker Test instructions from Jesco at acousticsinsider.com)
The stands were a little too tall for me. It would have been nice to have an even lower setting then the ones that are available now.
The spikes could possibly scratch the bottom of your speakers but I’m not really concerned about that.
I guess the price could be a con too but I feel like this was the best option for me. I trust K&M’s products to be good quality which it is, if that comes with a slightly pricier budget, I’m ok with that.

Despite of the cons I am very happy with them and I don’t regret getting them. The overall build is good. It does what it’s supposed to do. you just might have to take some time tweaking depending on if your desk is in the way or not.

The K&M 26740 is a very solid stand! I am using it with the Yamaha HS7 powered monitor speaker, and the mounting-plate of this stand is the perfect size for the speaker.

I have been very impressed with the weight of the circular base piece, which means the stand cannot be easily tipped if you bump it. My speakers are merely resting on top (not stuck down) and even if I give the stand a decent whack the speakers don't budge. It even stood up through an earthquake!

The vertical pole is nice and thick, and the height-adjustment is rock solid once set. It includes both a slot which accepts a crossbar to ensure the height adjustment cannot fail and drop the speaker, and then a tightening mechanism which makes everything solid and prevents wobbling.

It is a pricey stand, but in my experience the less expensive ones aren't usually worth bothering with; they are often flimsy and cheaply-made, and can tip over easily. For my money, this K&M is the best monitor stand you can possibly get.

Well engineered, highly recommended.

I bought one of these nearly 10 years ago and it's still in use. The (cast-iron?) plate is super heavy and the overall build feels like the specified 35kg capacity is far less than what the stand could actually support. Even the surface hasn't suffered from any scratches.

I definitely trust these with my Adam A8X:s, which aren't exactly very light or very cheap.

The height adjustment slots could be a bit more tightly spaced (for needlessly nerding out the absolute perfect height) and only one set of rubber stands is included (One of the stands came loose after years of use). Also, there's the issue of a rather steep price. So four stars.

I'll still buy another one soon. I'll gladly pay premium for this kind of build quality.
