I've had a silver pair of these without the leveling leg for a couple of years, and loved them. I really liked that I could raise my speakers up to 9-ft, so that the speakers weren't blasting directly in by-passer's ears, and so that the sound could more easily travel above the vehicles at the outdoor car shows that I frequently DJ. I was going to get another pair just like them, but then saw this new model with the leveling leg, and thought that was a *great* idea. Being able to adjust 1 leg makes it much easier, because otherwise you have to find a perfectly level spot for the stand, or prop up a leg with wooden blocks.
