Can anyone suggest a speaker stand that looks as good as the Grand Prix amp stands?

I have my DIY speakers that are in a black Hi-Gloss finish and I am presently using black Pangea 24" speaker stands. These stands are ok but not as exotic looking as I would prefer.
I really like the look of the Grand Prix amps stands that I am using with my mono block amps and getting speaker stands that are similar would be great..

Can anyone suggest some stands?

Some of my requirements.
1. I don't need to hide the wires.
2. They should be about 24" tall
3. Be able to support about 35lbs 
4. Wide top platform.
5. Prefer stainless steel but I guess silver or black would do.

Thanks,
ozzy

Wow! Thank you all for the great suggestions. Many of them have my interest but I still have in my mind a unique design. I'm thinking perhaps something that appears to defy gravity or made with a bent diagonal center frame.

mofimadness,

Definitely some interesting designs.

Question: Wasn't there somebody selling a levitation stand for turntables?
That might be pretty good for speaker stands.

Thank you, I have purchased from you previously. I will send you an email.

mofomadness,
The floating platforms may still be available. Seems like a good way to isolate the speaker from the stand. I will investigate.

thaluza,

I have the Audiopoints that I use under my JL F-113 subs.
There is something to be said about the appearance of the stands. When others first view my system the Grand Prix amp stands always stand out with my Tube mono blocks. I just wish I could find something with the similar appearance.
That is long legs, spiked heels... Wait a minute my mind started wondering.

Back to the speaker stands. Something more than just a flower pot style stand which seems to be what most speaker stands look like.

thaluza,

They do look very much like the Grand Prix style. Any idea what they cost?

mofimadness,

Thank you very much.

I sent a message through your web page as you suggested. I am interested in the stands shown at the bottom of the link suggested by mofimadness above. Preferable in brushed SS .

.thaluza,

I don't think that review is about the monitor stands. Probably those would even be more prone to tipping.

joey54,

Thanks they do look very nice. However, the top plate is only 6 x 6" wide. My speakers are 8" wide X 14" deep with these there would be quite an overhang.
