[WTD] Target r4 speaker stands

[john howard]

Obviously, due to weight it would be collection only

 

[john howard]

Anyone?

 

[Tim Jones]

Anyone?

I posted a very similar ad here just over a year ago. They are not easy to find. In the meantime I bought two other sets of stands which turned out to be pale imitations, and then eventually got lucky on eBay six months ago. A firm called Sonus started to make a facsimile in the UK just after Target ceased its distribution here. Not sure if they're still going, but might be helpful for eBay searches etc.

How much did you end up paying Tim?

£125 I think, inc postage. Which was nice.

These look like R4s to me....

Target Audio Speaker Stands | eBay

<p>heavy duty speaker stand by Target suitable for any weight of stand mount speaker. Height is 535mm excluding spikes. The top plate measures 215mm deep x 152mm wide. Adjustable spikes are included. They are very heavy so local collection from Henley on Thames or maybe I able to meet up</p>

www.ebay.co.uk

Edit: sorry, probably R3s, as ad lists height exc spikes as 53.5cm, while my R4s are 61.5cm.

There’s a pair on eBay but they’re £400!

Ive got the R4's, they're filled with 'crushed aggregate', often people have said it's lead but the official brochure from Target says the former and I've checked.

Anyone?

John, do not overlook Sonus R4 which are the same things- but you probably know that any way.

 

[john howard]

I’m having no luck at all, might have to consider the Custom Design FS104s any one using these?

Be patient John, they do show up and they are certainly worth the wait.

Those custom design stands are poor substitute, quite thin walled tubes.
Attacama Hms get close to the Targets imo.

What speakers will the R4's be under John out of curiosity?
