Sanus - Speaker Stands (Pair) - Black
Proudly display your satellite speakers with these Sanus HTB3-B1 speaker stands, which adjust from 26" to 39" high for optimal acoustics and provide cord storage to conceal and reduce clutter. Rubber feet and carpet spikes ensure stability.
Not worth it! Cheaper, better options available.

These are - well - garbage. The stands are very flimsy and finicky to tighten. They come with a good amount of hardware for a wide variety of speakers, but the stands themselves do not support the weight they recommend with any type of certainty. I had rear speakers from the Samsung Q90 Soundbar and the stands were bending at their highest height setting. The 'cable 'management' feature is also silly unless you have very thin speaker wires - anything larger will not fit through the holes. I recommend looking at something more durable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

In my room I have the Martin Logan 4i and 8i system with a Martin Logan Dynamo 800x subwoofer.
I have demoed the following receivers in the past several weeks:
Pioneer VSXLX104 (sound was far too flat, lackluster room correction software), Denon AVRX2600H (lacked punch, power was underwhelming, better room correction), Onkyo TX-NR797 (Sound was overly bright and metallic sounding, room correction was about as good as the Pioneer, and HDMI switching was problematic).
Pioneer VSXLX104 (sound was far too flat, lackluster room correction software), Denon AVRX2600H (lacked punch, power was underwhelming, better room correction), Onkyo TX-NR797 (Sound was overly bright and metallic sounding, room correction was about as good as the Pioneer, and HDMI switching was problematic).
Enter the Marantz SR5013. I was very skeptical trying the Marantz because of the less-than-stellar reviews it had received vs. Denon.
From the minute I unpacked it, I could tell this was the best machine I had purchased in my pursuit of a great A/V Atmos receiver. The build quality was excellent, the connectors, heft, and included accessories all felt more premium than any of the previous receivers I had tried.
After unboxing and setting up the unit, I had an issue where my HDMI Arc Output was not working with my Samsung. I installed a firmware update, and it started working.
I ran the room correction software, and was immediately impressed with the sound. Everything sounded extremely well balanced. Not overly bright like the Onkyo, and not flat and lifeless like the Pioneer. Extremely pleasing and natural with the right about of life and presence. It also has more power than the Denon - although this receiver is a few hundred dollars more.
One thing it excels in, is with Atmos and audio height presentations. The way it renders audio across my room is (without a doubt)the best i've experienced with the receivers I have tried out.
Highly recommended!
I would recommend this to a friend!
