The ME1 stands have a nice feature that allows one to zip tie the cables to them, so they do not work loose at the binding posts. There are a pair of used WB Endeavors now listed. Those are incredible. I have only heard A3 once in demo, not A1.

The spiffy finishes should please the wife. I think I saw a pair listed today for about $10k. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisbd992-b-w-bowers-wilkins-805-d4-monitors
