Gallo 3.1.....mapleshade or brightstar stands?


I understand substantial improvements in performance can be achieved by putting the gallos on good stands. Anyone got experience with BOTH the brightstar and the mapleshade? Or do you know of any reviews comparing the two.
I have Mapleshades modded Scott and it's a honey of an amp but...the stands are $$$$.

Dopogue...did you hear the Gallos on Bright Stars? I agree the Mapleshades look a lot better but aesthetics aren't as important as sound or $$$?
Templetech, actually the custom sand-filled stands that I had made for my Gallos LOOKED better than either, but neither they nor the Bright Stars offer the mass and damping/coupling that (I think) make all the difference.
Sound Anchors could probably make you some stands that might save you some money on your project. I had some made for a pair of speakers once and was pleased with them.
