Speaker stands for Reference 3A De Capo i

The De Capo's have incredible bass when placed on the right stands. I pine after a pair of Partington Super Dreadnought stands, but they are only available in the UK. Currently use 24 inch B&W stands lead filled.

I did a search one time regarding monitor stands and one of the names which seemed to come up most often as the best is Osiris. The Osiris looks to be built like a tank. Whatever you decide, make sure that they are heavy metal with hopefully the option to fill with lead buckshot or sand to add further to the weight as well as provide dampening effects. The extra weight also helps when toddlers and pets or maids bump into the stands. Good luck.

P.S. I just found a bargain on this website for a pair of Lovan stands for only $99.00, and that includes free shipping. I liked the deal so much for my bedroom monitors that I ordered a pair for myself for Christmas. Yes, Virginia. There is a Santa Claus...

If you choose to go with a budget stand, the high mass stand from PartsExpress is pretty good too. I think they still sell for $99 and they use a thick steel plate on the top and bottom and have a single thick/heavy fillable post.

Enjoy,

You have many good options already above, I'll add one more, I use a little known stand that I'm thrilled with. They're very solid/heavy cast iron top/bottom plate, well made and reasonably priced. http://www.ohiovalleyaudio.com/classic_toys_007.htm

I'm kind of reviving this thread because I just took delivery of a new pair of De Capo iA's and need stands for them. I have a pair of Osiris metal stands, sand filled. They are very solid and heavy. Their top plate was the perfect size for my Ref 3a Dulcets but will be a bit small for the De Capo's.
Does that matter? If so, any current stand suggestions?
