Which stands are recommended for ProAC 1SC speaker


"I recently bought a Creek 5350SE amp and Rega Jupiter cd player and Im planning to but the Proac1SC speakers-I need recommendations for interconnects, speaker cable and stands for my system. Thanks."

I had my 1SCs on Target R1 stands, filled with sand from Home Depot. They were such a good match that I felt the R1s were designed for the 1SCs. I had little dabs of Blue Tac squeezed in between to prevent any accidental sliding. My interconnects and speaker cables were Cardas Golden Cross, which had a dark, buttery character that I thought complemented the potentially bright high end of the 1SCs.
My stands for the 1SC's are Sound Anchors, heavy, spiked and stable. I use Ensemble cables, both speaker and interconnects. I find nothing bright about the 1SC's in my system, in my system (with ARC CA50 45-watt tube integrated) they sound just like Jameswei describes--warm and "buttery." Lots of detail, no boomy bass.
Try get a pair of Osiris stands. These are no longer made
but they crop up from time to time on Audiogon. Each stand
is two 3 inch columns which can be sand/shot filled and
they have 1 inch diameter brass spikes. They look very
tasteful.

Kimber cables work well with these and my Cary SLI-80 amp.
