Gallo Reference 3 stand bracket question

I've made some brackets for my Gallo reference 3's. The standard foot placement at 6 inches apart was just too narrow. I'm thinking of making having these made in bulk on a CNC machine, but perhaps in a more swept back deisgn. Something that looks a little less industrial. Any opinions on this basic concept? Any interest in buying these for your Reference 3's? I've got the BDR cones installed on mine, but the threading is the same for the stock Gallo feet, so those could be used as well,. These will also work on the speakers without the Brightstar stands.
You can see pictures of them on my system page.
Any idea what would be a reasonable price point?

Thanks,
Dave

Matthew,
I used the 4's, but think the 3's would work equally well, depending on whether you wanted more warmth, or detail out of your speakers.

Thanks, I think I will try the cones.

Do you have any photos of your stands?

Thanks for the tip on finding the photos. Wow! Looks nice and obviously pretty stable. Too bad I live so far away from you (Ontario, Canada). I bet it would be great to listen in person.

Anyways, I'm going to try the BDR cones you suggested. And who knows, perhaps new stands in the future.

Matthew,
If you try the BDR cones, you'll need to get the adapters from BDR too. The thread size of the BDR cones is different from the thread size of the Gallo cones. I don't remember the difference in sizing off hand, but BDR sells a short adapter. It is somewhat short though. I actually had a local machine shop make up longer threaded rods so I'd have some room for adjustment.
