Speaker Stands Question

There is a pair of osiris stands for sale in ny for $300...

I think the Pvc route would look janky, and might be a waste of $ and time. Building them to be flat, equal and aesthetically pleasing would be difficult.

I agree with what was said about the stands being sturdy, heavy and stable. Add in non resonant and level, with spikes top and bottom and you should be good.

If you dont want to spend much, b&w stands filled with sand are decent and only cost $130 ish.

If you're looking for a workout, Cinder blocks work well in determining how tall of a stand works best.

No offense to anyone with janky stands... I've used them before too :)

So I looked up the pvc stands... Maybe that isnt a horrible idea as long as you don't have me help you. You should see what the stands that I built looked like; absolutely horrific and I spent 3 days on them. Good luck!

I just had a pair made by Tyler Acoustics. Outstanding quality and service.

Why not Pangaea audio's DS00 on Audio Advisor? I am considering those for my Pioneer bookshelf speakers.

Quality Speakers Stands are a MUST. Besides the correct height
the top platform should be in size of your speakers .
The speakers should be "sitting" on the corners. That's the
best way to transfer the energy from the Speakers to the Stands. Much better sound stage and the bass.
The Sound Anchors are among the best stands if not the best.
They come with the Blue Tack but they have low profile. You
need 1/2" between the speakers and the top plate.
The coupling isolation feet are very important. I purchased
Atacama Isolation Feet and they are perfect. All my friends who are into this "hobby" are using them.
