Skylan vs. Sound Anchor speaker stands? Comments?


Is there an appreciable difference between Sound Anchor and Skylan speaker stands? They both appear well made. Each can be filled with sand.

If you believe one is superior, please explain why.

Thanks in advance.

I read someone say that the 3 post jazz is not very stable. That issue is what lead me to EPOS ST12. Well that and I could borrow it from a friend first to check it out :)

ps: I use 24" Lovan's (thin 2-post 4-spike metal) in my bedroom system for usher s520 and it seems a match made in heaven. Both are gloss black too. Cool. But they don't seem stable enough for the Silverline 17.5's.
I'm using the 20" skylan stands for the harbeths....
There was a thread on speaker asylum where Noel and his friend Moray were experimenting with cat litter and sand, and then rice, which they seemed to prefer, filled all the way. So when I bought the stands Noel suggested the rice, which I've done. I think they sound great, although I haven't emptied them out and filled with sand, so I don't really have a comparison. For some reason I like the idea of not using metal. Maybe I'm just mental....
Grant,
Check out the system of Audiogon member, Audioot. He made his own custom stands for his AudioNote speakers. Maybe he'll make you a pair for a reasonable price.

Thanks for the link, Sherod. If I have read his system page correctly, he lives in the Netherlands.
