Labor intensive, all American. A work of art designed to fit right up against the wall or deep into a corner. All other speaker stands have big, flat bases, which is the least expensive way to design a stand. A small footprint requires mass. 11 lbs./channel of cold rolled, high carbon, USA steel from American mills. It's a Hunk Of Solid Steel! Every inch of a HOSS Stand is custom. It takes a significant mount of time, hand labor and materials to transform 20 foot, 874 lb. bars into sculptures. It takes a fork lift just to move them from the saw to a lathe. The polisher, plating shop, packaging, all vendors have to move each 11 Lb. base, by hand, without leaving any marks. Then imagine the bill :) HOSS, by any comparison to 'design' objects, is a serious bargain. HOSS requires the Lexan Carpet Kit when there is padding under your carpet or if you want to protect your floor (marble. wood) Specifications: 39.5" tall (to top of speaker); 4" Wide (diameter) 26 pounds/pair.
