Osiris stand owners.....


Recently purchased these stands...and WOW!...do they make a difference...I am always amazed when someone buys a very good pair of monitors and "cheaps out" on the stands...big mistake in my book...at any rate...what is everyone using to fill the chambers with? Sand,leadshot,cement(just kidding)?

At first the thought of actually spending decent money on materials to fill my Osiris stands was out of the question, until on I whim I gave the folks at www.audiopoints.com a call and ended up filling my stands with their "Micro-Bearing Conductive Steel Fill Material". Was a major improvement over sand filled.

Would suggest you give them a call. Some of the most helpful people I've talked to, and you can hear their interest and knowledge in the conversation instead of a typical sales pitch, or worse, a sales pitch without knowledge behind it, or someone that doesn't know more than a product brochure.

They'll end up asking exactly which models you have, what speakers are on top, sizes, weights, everything and give you an estimate on exactly what you need and how much.

Even if you are hesitant or straight up not going to purchase it -- give them a call. First time I was on the phone with them, I didn't end up making a purchase, but spoke for over an hour and got quite a lesson and opinion.

Check them out. Benefits were immense in my application.

I'm sure others will chime in with many other alternatives as well.
I'll try and dig up my past invoice to see exactly the amount purchased -- I want to say it was 1/2 to 2/3 full, but frankly if I'd mentioned that I had a different speaker atop the stands, their recommendations may have changed.

Worth a call -- very friendly folks.

The speakers used with them are Acoustic Reality Studios, which are a Vifa Ring Radiator tweeter, 7" Scanspeak Revelator, and a series crossover.

With the speakers on the stands -- on the sides maybe a half inch or inch of overhang, front/back overhang is maybe 3 or 4 inches, and they are maybe 13 inches high or so...
