Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's

I can't figure out how to attach a pic....

I have the TonTrager stands for my Harbeth HL5. If you want to do a true clone the bottom should be open with no spikes! The one inch risers should be on the bottom the same as on the top!

I have the 30.2XD’s

Resonance dissipation and decoupling:
Extended tenons -  top AND bottom - allow direct absorption of cabinet resonances and decouple the speaker from the ground.

the extended tenons on top of mine have routered out oval “dimples” in the extended tenons - “tone beds” are explained below ,,,, the tenons are not flat …It matters too,

I know that the 40.2’s have the extended tenons too, and it appears that they also have the routered out “dimpled “ tone beds in their model extended tenons.

Extended Tenons

• The frames of the audio boards are joined with a mortise and tenon joint.
• The so-called "extended tenons" are evolved out of the wood connection to form the four contact points for the speaker.
• The upper tenons absorb cabinet resonances.
• The lower tenons serve to decouple external influences.
• The "extended tenons" replace the use of spikes.

ToneBed

• An oval hollow on top of the tenons ( routered out) reduces the contact surface to achieve maximum form fit.
• The ToneBeds prevent vibration bridges.

I would not chintz it …if it’s too much for you, then give it up , step down, and chooses a larger mass speaker stand & save the $$

resonant woods (ones i have), skylans and sound anchors are fine too

best for bbc heritage speakers to have an open frame design though, if you adhere to the purists...
