Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's

@whipsaw 

I am not sure there is anything I can add. I said it all, the value (let's not call it value but substance/significance) of my comment was that there is a massive void of aesthetics in audio gear and equipment and furniture. Which is clearly seen with this speaker stand. If you don't see any point in my comment, that's fine. 

Also, my opinion is not hyperbolic. On the one hand design is a matter of taste, on the other hand it's very objective. There are many ways to evaluate if something has aesthetic value and the fact that a lot of members of a group find it attractive is interesting but does not make it a visually good design.

We can move on. 

Gig Harbor Audio makes/sells stands for the Graham Products they sell.

I would call Eric/owner and have a discussion. His run around $1,000.

Beautiful? I will let you decide.

Grissle,

RE Beauty. No discount for ugly is there? 

I bought the Dynaudio 20's for my standpoints.

Reasons:

1. Most stable design I have seen. Tip overs can really ruin your day

 so I prioritized this.

2. Cable Management system reduces odds of day tripping.

3. Designed to hold 15-20 lbs of sand in each stand. Adds to stability and vibration control.

4. Each stand comes with 4 adjustable spikes.

MSRP is $500. My friend Dan Harmon at Dedicated Audio made a special

purchase and sold me mine for $350. Dan gets a  "highly recommended"

from me. 

They may not win any "design" awards but form follows function in my book.

"the TonTraegers look hideous"

...

Also, my opinion is not hyperbolic.

🤣🤣🤣

With all 3 series of the Harbeth SHL5’s that I owned I used Something Solid XF speaker stands. They sounded great with all of the 5’s.

Since these are metal they are not a DIY project but they cost around $500 and they sounded almost as good as the Ton-Trager's.
