i ended up building my own for the LCR speakers. my subs don't need stands, they are too heavy as is and any higher off the ground would put them in line of site.

i just made basically boxes for my LR speakers and painted them with duratex. the center one was more of a "step" than a box, and i put 2 door stoppers under it to angle it up a bit so it was pointed at the seats.

i couldn't find any stands that i liked other than the ones that the speaker company sells, but they were not cheap at all, and and had to be shipped, so i just built ones that looked very similar. i made them out of plywood for the LR ones, and the center one was 2x4's with a plywood top.
 
i got some pics from another thread. here is what they looked like when finished and in place.

in my HT "build" log i posted about when i built them and kind of have the steps and everything. here is the final post i made after finishing them that has some close ups of them and stuff. also, if you go to this thread and go back some posts (probably around to post 450 or so) i discussed how i built them and stuff, with some advice on how to do it from other posters.

those aren't that large, just amazon up some speaker stands, basically anything will work for something that size.

the metal ones are slightly more sturdy vs the wood ones but cost more
 
I bought a sanus stand for my center recently. Seems to be good quality and just took a few minutes to put it together. Purchased from Amazon.

And yeah those speakers aren't that large. Be sure you don't set them to large when setting up your receiver.
 
Sanus is pretty well received. assuming youre in the US - those can be picked off amazon
personally i use HiVi Swans MT-ST2 - they serve very well
