Speaker stand recommendation

Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I've been searching for some speaker stands to be used for the surround sound channels in the back of my room. I wanted something decent so that they could also be used to hold monitors in my two-channel stystem when there's the need. I had my mind set on the top of the line offering from Sanus (Sanus UF30) because they are cheap, $230 on eBay. But I just read the spec and they can only hold up to 25 lbs. I am thinking that you would probably want something stronger? Or is that enough? One of the speakers I'm planning to use it for is the USHER Be-718, which is at least 20 lbs each. So I am sure some other monitors would be heavier than that.

Any recommendation for some good & inexpensive speaker stands? (Something under $300 a pair other than concrete blocks!)
