Best Stand for Harbeth 7ES-3 Compact

If the sound anchors were better musically, I would have bought them.
The sound anchors do very much effect the way a harbeth sounds! That's my whole issue with them! And they rob them of all their great capabilities.
Why take a great speaker and muck it up.
Each to their own, I suppose. Just don't invite me over to listen. :)

Chashas1 - you're absolutely correct about Herbie's Big Fat Dots under the speakers. I found that out for myself. My wifes jaw hit the floor when I removed the Herbie's. I think they're better suited for use underneath a rack. I love the tenderfeet under my CDP as well.

Perhaps they work with other speaker brands, but not with the harbeths. My listening panel reacted just like your wife. You're lucky to have her good ears and sense. You two would be fun to listen with.

Given Alan's thoughts on resonance as part of his design philosophy, I would think that whatever stands he uses or recommends are an important part of his design philosophy - if he works with Skylan, it is likely that the two are made for each other - you would think he would make his own stands to accompany his smaller speakers, but I guess that is a different kind of work.

My Harbeth dealer only uses Sound anchor stands and he is the #1 selling Harbeth dealer in the country. To me that says it all.
