Skylan vs. Sound Anchor speaker stands? Comments?

I would think the dealer knows the various kinds of stands that work best and how each may impact the speakers sound.

Perhapsyou can contact AN directly by eamil?

What amp did you settle on for your new speakers?

Thanks

Clearly, Audio Note has a vested interest in recommending their stands, but some Audio Note owners have reported that other stands work better...and may be less expensive.

I have not settled on an amp, and likely will not do so for several months.

Sound Anchor adds their own filler to their stands. I have owned both Sound Anchor and Skylan although not at the same time and with different speakers so I can't give you a fair comparison. The Sound Anchors are heavier-duty and cost more than the Skylan. If you are going with the Audionote speakers, what does the manufacturer recommend for them?

Audio Note recommends Audio Note stands.

I am interested in alternatives for reasons explained earlier in the thread.

I'm sure you've done your homework researching all the alternatives for your new speakers. Here's a review for an amp to add to your list of considerations:
