Spendor Stand question on the new SA1

I would go with the Skylan stands. I was a Spendor dealer for years and still have 6 pairs and have used Target [was a dealer] and sound anchor and the Skylan are MUCH better. They are used under the expensive Harbeth [forget the model] and make my Sp-1s and S100s sound better than they ever have.

I used Skylan under my Spendor 3/1's (filled with a combination of kitty litter and #8 lead shot) and Sound Anchor's under my 1/2e's. Both delivered great results.

I've read that the Spendor SA1 stands are light weight and undamped. The Targets and Sound Anchors are really heavy and damped. So which is best with these light weight BBC type speaker designs? I have not heard of the Skylans, I will check them out. Thanks for the Skylan info.

I have found the heavy metal stands to appear to store vibration more than the lighter ones. I am using kitty litter also, formerly used lead shot but have decided it adds a coloration to the sound. My TNT stand sounded better without it.

Regardless of which stands you get, and I'd have to defer to Stanwal on the type due to his experience, use a set of Herbies black dots between the speakers and the top platform of the stand.
