Yu2

As other people are suggesting, an upgrade to your speakers may be better. I have used Kanto YU2 in the past, they do other speakers as well. You will need a sub to go with those though as they don't have a lot of low end, but they are small.

They are decent steel stands but the top plates are a bit flimsy because they are designed to mount directly to the Kanto YU2 series of speakers some the regular top plate wobbles a bit. They'll work no problem but there's probably a better 26" stand out there for a similar price.

I have a pair of YU2 along with a Kanto SUB8 (8"). They have enough juice to work but for me EQ is a must with this config. The YU2's have a dip in the 200-800Hz that makes it so that if you pair a sub, the 100-200Hz area becomes overwhelming and makes the sound too dark, specially considering they

Like would spending the extra money on something like the kanto yu2 really be worth it
