Speaker Stands Question


Hi All!

I'm in the market for speaker stands and wondering if there are any rules or guidelines to follow. I'll be using the Nola Boxer speaker.
Thanks, Pete

Talk to Noel at Skylan Speaker Stands... give him the Nola dimensions and he will make custom stands for you (about 350.00)
Assuming good build quality. The biggest difference will be with where the speaker is located and oriented vertically and also whether the stands couple to the floor acoustically or are isolated. Best choice will vary case by case room by room and listener to listener.
You want the tweeters the same height as your ears while sitting in your listening chair... go to Cardas speaker placement calculator site for help with placement
For my Nola Boxers I built a pair of 20" stands that put the tweeters at ear level while sitting on my couch. The Boxers sound great in that setup.

The front edge of the couch cushions is only 15" off the floor, though, so you'd want to adjust for your own sitting position.

The top and bottom of the stands are two glued-together layers of MDF, 11 1/2" X 9" on bottom, 9 1/2" X 7 on top, and the center column is 4" diameter PVC pipe filled with sand. Finish is flat black spray paint.
