I've been upgrading gear and bags recently and my old "mild steel" speaker stands have been looking tatty... 
These hercules ones are very light, and smart looking . I probably bought them because I have a couple of Hercules mic stands as well that have been trouble free. 
It's hard to get excited about speaker stands - these are better than my old ones, the bag and zipper look durable. 
They have a twisty bit to fit differing pole holes - I'm using mine with Yamamha DSR15's and they work a treat !
