Tree/Branch Stands - audio quality comparison with traditional stands?

[em0]

Quick question for you Branch/Tree owners.

Once you installed the Phantom on the stands, how solid is the connection?  By this question, I'm really asking - Can you MOVE the Phantom/Branch combo by simply lifting the stand and moving it up and down a flight of stairs?  Is the connection strong/tight enough that you can hold the long stand horizontally and balance it like you would an actual log when carrying it?  Or would the Phantom fall off?  It is after all over 11 kg/24 lbs.

Thanks!

I would be very hesitant to carry it horizontally. Even vertically, there is a slight give to the speakers. There is rubber padding as if that slight give was anticipated/designed.
