A friend recommended K&M about a year ago, and told me to look out for their gear on television. I'd never noticed before, but there are an awful lot of K&M stands knocking about on television on all sorts of shows. This in itself led me to believe that the brand must be at the top of their game.
When I first searched Thomann for K&M I was rather surprised to see how much variety there was, and how greatly their products ranged in price, as I had expected them to be way out of my budget. However, I worried that the low-mid range kit wouldn't be any good. I was wrong.
When my speaker stands arrived I was well impressed. I was worried about the plastic clips but they have proven to be a simple and effective approach to setting up the stands. The stands are sturdy and take the weight of my JBL 712s active speakers with no signs of collapsing or toppling over. The carry carry bag is a great touch.
These stands are lightweight, strong and attractive. They led me to purchase more K&M gear. I can sneak some of it into the carry bag to save hassle too!
