Millenium BS-2222 Pro Set

I normally buy K&M branded stuff for stands and support stuff but needed a cheaper option for a small additional PA set up. As I didn't fancy spending a lot on something that wasn't going to get lots of use, I went for the Millenium set. I've had a few of their line-up a few years ago and had mixed results. Some were great, a few were broken/shoddy - I guess that's the Far-East quality control slipping. However in this case, the stands are pretty much identical to the K&M versions and a lot cheaper. They are very well made and re-assuringly slick with motion and set up. They may be cheaper materials somewhere but it certainly seems close enough for most people not to notice or care.
Yeah the bag isn't the best but it does the job and it's nice that it's included. I'd definitely recommend these to anyone with a small portable PA or some additional speakers they need stands for. Given how much cheaper they are than the big name brands, it feels slightly better taking them to gigs as if they get damaged or stolen it's not as big a spend on something dull like stands!

Ok so I have been using expensive aluminium stands for a around 10 years which were ultra light but they've reached their usable life span as all the fastenings are now loose or broken. They were expensive, double the price of these but were great quality.

These Millenium Pro stands are a fair bit heavier but are built like a tank. The difference in the fastenings is crazy, they really are Pro Stands, much more sturdy than the old ones I had.

Only issue I had with these is that the box they were in must have been dropped in the factory or wharehouse and one of the plastic end caps was broken and you could see the box was damaged but literally nothing else was broken, it shows how strong they are!

Highly recommended if a little heavy but that's understandable due to how robust they are.
