AT Reader Charles writes to us, I am looking for a pair of speaker stands for under $ 100.00. They are to be used for the rear speakers of the energy sound system (sorry forgot the model).

I'd like a model that is sturdy, silver, 40" tall. Any recommendation?

Charles, We've turned up some options for you, like the ones on the left: Sanus Speaker Stands for $54.99. However, these are for mini-speakers, so they might not qualify for the "sturdy" you're looking for if your speakers weigh more than 4 lbs.

Another option is StudioTech G5S, for $85, which holds speakers up to 8 lbs.

However, we know you readers know more about this than us...what's worked for you? What have you seen that you can suggest?
