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...
Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's
I talked with my builder today. I told them I would reach out for more expert opinions on a final design.
Since the TonTragers are the benchmark for Harbeth stands, I'm trying to match them as much as possible.
Question 1- The TonTragers have a 1 inch riser in each corner of the top of the stand. Is this critical for optimal sound ? Or would it be sufficient for the speaker to sit flat on the top of the stand ?
Question 2- Obviously the top needs to be open except for the exterior frame, but can the base be a solid flat piece of wood...or should that be open also ?
Please chime in with any ideas...also I plan on using some good cone spikes on the bottom.
I've attached a pic of the TonTrager for reference for the above questions.
Thanks in advance.

Have you considered Sound Anchors stands? I have seen them used fairly often with Harbeth speakers and they make stands dedicated specifically for the Harbeth Monitor 40 line. The cost for their Signature Stands is a little less than the cost of the TonTraeger stands, and they may be a good trade-off compared to the time, materials, and skill required to achieve a suitable DIY result. Just a thought. Good luck getting exactly what you want. |
