Grand Prix versus Stillpoints

I knew this was going to be a tough question.

I searched Audiogon forums and also pro reviews via Google before asking. It's amazing that as well known as these two are there seems to be no direct comparison.

A good comparison of component stands wouldn't be the easiest thing to do. I suppose it probably doesn't happen very often.

For what it's worth, I did a direct comparison with Finite Elemente and GPA Monaco a few years back when I bought my GPA rack. The difference, while not huge, was evident in favor of the GPA to my ears.

I currently have the Grand Prix Audio Monaco stands under my amps and when I first installed them the upgrade was nothing short of amazing.

The only fault with my test previously, the amps were sitting flat on the floor with no isolation at all.

Hi Albert, have you tried the formula shelves? This is a nice improvement to. I've heard the GPA with and with out the carbon fibres shelves, it's a nice upgrade.

Also, I think GPA is coming out with a new higher end line up. You took some great pics of it at ces :)
