Skylan vs. Sound Anchor speaker stands? Comments?

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:

I know Paul Folbrecht used those amps with his Audio Notes.

I have a pair of George Wright Signature AU-15 (2A3) monoblocks I am going to try, as well as the Pass Labs XA-60.5.

There are many options.

Grant - not to hijack your thread, but have you considered looking for a pair of Osiris stands?

Marco, thanks for the idea. If they were still being produced, I'd definitely be considering them. I think it's unlikely I'll run across a used pair to fit the AN-E speakers, as the AN-E stands are just 10" tall, and sized to precisely fit the footprint of the speakers to allow close placement to side and rear walls.

Sorry, Grant, I missed that you were looking for AN-E compatible stands. Funny, I was just close to auditioning the pair that's local to me, but my wife vetoed them. Let me know how you like those speakers. I like George's Au-15's a whole lot, btw.
