Best 27' speaker stands?

Irish 65 thanks for the info.

TBG, The top black/bottom plates are steel.

I believe they are also going to release a steel plate version
of the stage rack (but with brass rods) at some point to hit a lower
price point, as the Stage is something like $7000 retail per shelf.

Emailist, why so expensive? Brass is not that expensive.

Tbg,
The SPK series stand has the flexibility to go from 6-8" left to right and 6-12" from front to back. It will accommodate most monitors. The Stage series has much more flexibility.
The black material (SPK series) is some sort of steel that has a powder coat finish.

Aren't the LSA1s very similar to the Von Schweikert VR-1s? If so, I highly recommended the VR stands. I owned a pair when I had my VR-1s, and they were both very solid and very stylish for not much money. There are a couple pairs sale right now - no connection with the seller.

TBG,

I too was shocked when I heard the price. I was looking to get a 6 tier rack.

That would only set me back $42,000. I have enough gear for 2 rack probably.

When talking with Robert at Starsound he indicated that the purity and machining of brass they use is unlike almost any other in the audio biz.

They have really broken this down to a science, and the metalurgy is crucial to the effectiveness. I have read their credits on thier site about the scientific background of their rather large team of scientists, designers and fabricators.

These people are serious! To call them just a stand seems like a huge understatement.

You can read their white papers here.

I would like to see other manufacturers utilizing some of their products and designs inside componenent where they could be even mor eeffective than simply sitting on a stand. I in fact am going to try to modify my MA-1 amps internally using Sistrum products. You can clearly tell I have drunk the cool-aid on this one.
