Skylan stand tweeks

Great. I'm ordering today....I like the idea of using 3 vs 4, makes it easier to keep level.

Thanks.
So then Thorman, are you using 4 per plate or 3? I've heard good things about Herbies, plus his prices are very reasonable.

Thanks,Chayro! Yes, maybe a tad muddy...good,though, or decent. Could it be the rice? I'd hate to dump it all out and start over with kitty litter.

I did have some all metal stands to use for a while, which is what I've always been used to for a standmount, and they sounded a little grittier(?), steelier, than the skylans.

I have a feeling the spikes will be better than the rounded head inserts. I might give it a try, I have small brass cone pucks to use.

Don't worry, I've been playing lots of music. I love the Harbeths. I keep trying to find fault, but I find myself just playing and humming along, they really carry a tune. I've had speakers that gave a more "realistic, live" approach, which I like, but these guys just sing and I forget all about presentation.

Thanks very much for your input. I appreciate it.

Did Noel fill you in on the amount? He told me to fill em up if using rice.
There's a thread on Speaker Asylum with he and his friend Moray experimenting with different fill levels and mixtures.
Sometime when I'm energetic I may try kitty litter.
