Ah, it's a pity that they are no longer made. The stands one tends to see these days look so ... massive--antitheses of what I'm looking for. I am/was hoping to find something strong and rigid, yet seems to visually disappear--you know, something like your stands. But you've given me some great ideas about how I might be able to make my SolidSteel stands work for me after all--if they're tall enough, that is. Thanks so much!
One more question: Your speaker cabinets are MDF (particle board), aren't they? Did you have any hesitation about putting lag screws into MDF?
