Sound Anchor Stands...worth the money?

Great stands, if they are in fact great, will make a very significant difference in your system. That being said, read my review on the Sistrum Mini Monitor platform system. Starsound Technologies have other speaker stands as well that will lift your system to new levels. Call Robert, over there. He be da man. He'll set you free. If you do buy the Sound Anchor stands, don't fill them with lead or sand. After you get on with Robert, you'll understand. My review will give you some more info about resonance transferrence as opposed to isolation. Hold off on those stands 'till you have all the facts. you can email me on the side for more info. peace, warren

They are a must have with my ET LFVIII's. Cost aobut the same as a good power cord and will contribute more than any other "accessory" I've come across. Highly recommened! Jeff

You'll be extremely satified with the build quality of Sound Anchors. I use a center channel stand and an amp stand that they custom built to my specs. I'm thrilled. I feel that I got my money's worth. Let's face it. A lot of components sold to the "high-end" crowd are over-priced and very cheaply built. Some of the racks and stands that I've seen selling for over 500.00 are of low quality. Others while extremely well built, are over-priced. Billy Bags comes to mind. All of my stand and rack needs will be served by Sound Anchors. I'm that happy with my purchases. Sound Anchors is a breath of fresh air after all of that cheap sheet metal junk that I've purchased because I was unaware of Sound Anchors. Lastly, they were extremely helpful. I gave them the measurements for what I needed. Sound Anchors then e-mailed me an exact diagram of what they would be making for me. In about 10 days, I had the amp and center stand. Perfect. As for whether stands improve the sound of your speakers, I would say it is extremely likely. I have found that if you have carpet, just extra long spikes greatly improve the sound and not just in the bass. Speakers seem to "open-up" when gotten up and off the floor.

Instead of an anwser, I have a question. I understand that if one had wood floors or a suspended floor how Sound Anchors would benefit. Is my assumption correct in that if one had a concrete floor under thick pile carpeting or throw rug, that products such as Sound Anchors would really not benefit those situations? Like most I'm always looking for the next tweak to make an improvement.

How expencive are sound anchors?

After reading bulldogger's response im intrigued. It would be nice to have something custom made.
