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.

Never received a response from Skylan, so that brand is out of consideration.

It's down to Audio Note, Sound Anchor, Sistrum, or custom built mass loaded wood.
It's too bad that Noel at Skylan didn't get back with you. I have read many threads where he has made custom stands for many different speakers.

I emailed him over a week ago now (I think) asking if prices on his web site were US or Canadian dollars. It took many days for him to get back to me (it's Canadian). I think he is just very busy.

btw Tvad when you do get the speakers set up properly I hope you post your comments here on Agon.

I really love to corner load my kit 3, the sound gets an intimate quality that focuses on fundamentals but the tonal balance is too far off (bass heavy) so I keep them about a foot out usually. I hear this can happen with the kits and the factory built speakers are leaner which is what I heard at AK Fest these last few years.

All the best
