H.P.Caravelles owners, are you still Satisfied.

Lo and Behold. I've had (6) of these triangular shaped speaker stands sittin in (2) boxes for awhile. Their very heavy covered with a black felt-like fabric and have (3) audiopoints on the bottom and (1) on the top and now I know where their from-Star-sound M-1 speaker stands. Christ-I was wonderin who made these things! I think their made with lead and some poured molding material. As I said very damp and very heavy and esxactly like the photo from the Harmoni-Precision webpage.

Powder, you are the VERY first that I know of who owns these babies, other than myself, of course. Can you give us the who, what, where, when and why on these stands? These are amazing speaker stands. Will bring out the best in any pair of speakers, particulary the Caravelles. Please give us the scoop. thanks in advance, warren :)

Warren: I picked these stands up from a guy in Brooklyn back in '99. As you know, very solid yet adjustable acct. the audiopoints on the top. I assumed they were designed and built by a midwestener, sort of a "silo" thing but I was never sure. As far as age I don't really know-but they are certain to outlast me. I believe each silo is a core of lead surrounded by ???, then shaped and wrapped in fabric. I've had these in boxes for years-now I know what they are!

Blcube and Ozzy I would love to audition a pair of these wooden stands in comparison to the Caravelle stands. I have listened to the Caravelles on four different sets of stands.Tom

First, many thanks to everyone on this thread for taking the time to post their experiences with this speaker - based on all the feedback it sound like a superb speaker.

Have any of the HP Caravelle owners had a chance to compare it with either the Merlin TSM-MX or possibly the VSM-MX models - both speakers that also receive amazing user feedback too. If so, I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions on the two.

I'll soon be changing from a larger speaker (Dunlavy Athena) to something smaller for space reasons - both the HP Caravelle and the Merlin TSM/VSM-MX's will be on the top of my list to audition.

Many thanks in advance for your help and advise.

All the best,
Neville
