Stands for new Rega Kytes

[Gerard124]

Brother-In-Law has just purchased a Rega System One.

He's looking for some nice stands for the Kytes.

Any suggestions for reasonably priced stands that would be a good fit for the Kytes and look the part?

The old Ikea ones work really well if you can track them down. What my friend Chris Harris used with his.

He will need the Rega stand adapters first.
Then any decent stand with a height of 55-66cm, tons out there.

Good idea. One wouldn't need purchase the Rega stand adapters either.

Far too low placement

They angle the loudspeakers upward. Depending upon room and furniture layout, obstuctions, etc. a lot of 'speakers can sound really good like this.

These have also become the default choice for users of Shahinian Acoustics' smallest model, called Super Elf.

 

[JezmondTutu]

Absolutely

Have you ever listened to speakers on low angled stands, or to Neat Iota Alphas?

Don't like the look of those screw heads protruding out the top plate there.

Coincidentally, I was loosely associated with a small Canadian fabricator that had a contract with Mission Canada to do stands. Always fit countersunk screws, anything else would have been crap.

Yes, I spotted those not ideal

Screws are flush on the top plate, have a look at the Mission website.

Certainly, I have owned Carlsson and Iota Alphas as mentioned.
Both great loudspeakers which is designed this way, Kyte is not.

Richer will have gotten the artwork from Mission.

EDIT: If you scroll down on the Mission site you'll also see the same exposed screw heads photo, as posted on Richer Sounds.

My daughter has these. I was sure they were countersunk, I’ll check.

I thought Rega was planning on making bespoke stands for the kytes. What happened?
