The Skylans only use MDF for the top and bottom plate. The supports are extruded polymer.

I still need some quality stands for my Twin Signatures and was leaning towards Skylans (custom top plate, relatively cheap, Canadian made, comes with spikes and soft footers and can be set up for 3 or 4 spikes/feet per stand).

I'm not sure that Magic Stands, sans spikes (as you recommend), will be as stable (blu-tak'd to the floor or not) as a mass loaded stand (even a non-mass loaded stand) that sits on 4 adjustable spikes/feet or 3 spikes/feet which are essentially self leveling. It also seems like it would be a hell of a lot easier to move the speakers around to try different locations when you aren't dealing with Blu-Tak between the stands and the floor.

Maybe I am wrong and the Magic Stands work like a charm from a functional standpoint. Being able to see them in person before plopping down $400 would sure be a big help. Unfortunately, Toronto is a bit of a trek from Amherst.
