This is one of the few taller stands I could find on Amazon that are suitable for a small pair of Cambridge Audio speakers. A taller stand is required to raise small speakers so that the tweeter is at ear height. The other reviews of the Transdeco stands were positive so a set was ordered.The stand fits together quite easily but, as other reviewers have noted, it does need some minor help to make it truly solid. Remember, when it comes to audio equipment, vibration is the enemy so everything needs to be solid to ensure the best sound.The main complaint with the product is the attachment of the center pole to the glass base. Because the hole in the base is oversized, the bolt that runs through it from the underside to fasten into the center post has no lateral support and so the assembly is not entirely secure. Thank you to the other reviewer here who recommended installing 3/4" diameter washers with a 5/16th center into the hole to provide that missing support. I ordered a pack of 100 at the same time as the stands and I used over half of them during assembly - see photos. The washers fitted perfectly and provided the missing support. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KFS11QD). You should also use the washers underneath the top plate to provide a tight fit. I'm also planning on adding a couple of rubber washers at the top and bottom of each washer stack to prevent any potential rattling.With the stands securely assembled the next job was to deaden the central pillar which rang like a bell when tapped. Not good. I decided to use children's play sand as filler to mass-damp it. Rather than just pouring the sand into the pillar, I used an old pair of my wife's winter tights (thicker than nylon) to prevent the sand from leaking out. Just push them inside the post and fill them from the top with sand using a funnel and tie off the top securely with a couple of cable ties. I used a total of about 15lbs of sand in each post. This worked really well in totally deadening the ringing.The 4 pads supplied for each top plate to place the speakers on are wholly inadequate for the purpose IMO so those were dumped and replaced with a set of Hudson Hifi 1" silicone isolation dots which provide vastly superior isolation and are naturally non-slip so hold the speaker much more securely. The sound improved enormously with them under my Cambridge Audio speakers - HIGHLY recommended and cheap too (set of 16 at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0857161Q1).The spikes fit okay but you need to use a metric size 10 wrench to tighten the lock nuts in order to prevent them from rocking. Be sure to take your time to get them level - it can take a while but it's worth it for a secure base.The supplied feet covers were thrown away immediately since, although they cover the spikes, they possess next to no isolation properties. I added a set of cups underneath the spikes (amazon.com/gp/product/B07KVWPWX5) together with the remaining Hudson dots superglued to their base to further isolate the stand and to stop the spikes from slipping on my tile floor.With all of that done, the stand was utterly stable and was vibration inert. The sound of my system improved out of all recognition with amazingly solid bass and great imaging. Job done.So, in summary, these stands are well worth the money. The glass base and glossy black painted metal looks great. Most importantly, they perform really well and provide a super-sturdy base once suitably modified. Highly recommended.
