K&M 19670 Speaker Stand Angle Adap

These tilting adapters work fine are well made and have lasted me well. However, they do make the speakers look slightly wonky when in use which I think looks a little unprofessional and I would always prefer to use speakers with tilted top hats already installed as they ensure the weight is properly balanced over the centre of the stand, but they get you out of trouble when avoiding reflections off a back wall. The tightening nuts can dent aluminium speaker stands it would be better if they either fit more snugly on 35mm stands thus removing need for tightening bolt or had some sort of rubber cushion.

I find these very useful and they have improved my sound in certain venues. The speakers can be raised above the crowd and then tilted as much as 15 degrees to reduce ceiling reflections and increase the quality of the sound reaching the audience. The design is simple, but very elegant and effective. I've had these for 4 months and I've had no fundamental problems. However, the little plastic ring that indicates the degree of tilt fell off one of them. It's not a huge problem, but it shouldn't really happen. I would highly recommend this product to gigging musicians who have to set up their own PA.
