I'm sitting in the living room, listening to music whilst on the Pat & Mick and since there is little else I am able to do I have been considering the stands for my speakers.
Following a nasty cat/ Magneplanar incident last year I was forced by said cat, to reconsider my choice of speaker (not sadly choice of cat). Off went the Maggies and in their place I bought a pair of ropey Cheviots. I sent them to RFC and had some nice external crossovers made- all internal wiring replaced and the cabs stiffened and the damping material replaced. I love them and don't foresee a need to ever sell them (perhaps custom cabs might be nice though). When I got them home I was so eager to try them out that I hastily wrapped concrete blocks in black cloth and plonked the speakers on top.I say 'plonked' but they are well positioned in the room. The stands look crap but I don't care however I do see an opportunity for possible sonic improvement as my wife isn't keen on the stands (can't blame her really).
So, the question is this- what stands do you use with your Tannoys to provide the best possible sound? BTW the tweeters are at ear height.
Cheers.
