Stirling Broadcast / BBC LS3/6

I just took the grills off mine this afternoon. They are very snug and held on with six pegs. I used a butter knife to gently pry the edges out. You're "supposed" to leave the grills on. They are supposed to tame the top end a bit. I don't notice much, if any difference.  They look better (to me) without the grills and the tweeters have metal grills over them and are well protected. 

thanks. i assume you started at the corners. a butter knife is a good idea. I tried with a credit card but did not get anywhere. 

Near the corners, not in them. Then move a few inches and lift up a little more and so on. Take your time.

big_greg and chrisr, i am having difficulties locating appropriate stands. Resonant Woods which is in my state of NH is moving and will not be able to deliver for three months or so. Which stands do you use? thanks in advance, 

Petar,

I bought my LS3/6 pre-owned and they came with the stands.  There's no branding on them, so I'm not sure who made them.

I suggest reaching out to Gig Harbor Audio.  They will make custom stands.  That's where I got the stands for my Harbeths. 

Any stands made for Harbeth Super HL5 Plus should work, but there's a slight difference in size so they won't be the exact same dimensions as the base of the speakers.  I think the Stirlings are a hair smaller, but don't quote me on that, it might be the other way around.
