When you are shopping for PA speaker stands, there are several important things to keep in mind. The best PA speaker stands will be sturdy enough to hold heavy speakers securely, and allow you to be able to raise and lower the speakers easily. Don't forget to make sure you get the right insert size for your speaker cabinets (typically 1-3/8" or 1-1/2"). The very best stands will be lightweight and portable, so that they don't add unnecessary weight to pack in and out of gigs. Some of our favorite stands are the Ultimate Support TS-100B, which use a hydraulic "gas spring" to reduces your lift load. We also like the Samson LS2, Fender Audio ST275 Passport Speaker Stands, and On-Stage Stands SS8800B+ which feature a hand crank to raise the poles. So if you need new stands for your sound system, we would encourage you to check out the reviews on these popular models and see which PA speaker stands are best for you.
