Need some help with speaker stands

I'm looking to buy my first set of speaker stands. My budget tops off at about $150, though I'd love to spend less. Having no experience in the matter, I'd appreciate any suggestions. One catch: the stands have to pass the ugly test with my girlfriend. I caught enough slack for bringing home the Lovan rack my system currently sits on.

oh yeah, I should mention that I'm using Focal-JM Lab Chorus 705s bookshelf speakers. They weigh 11.2 lbs, if that matters.

Thanks in advance for your help.

You might look at Atlantis Pros for $169 at Audio Concepts Inc (really fine folks). www.audioc.com/accessories/AtlantisStands.htm

I came across the atacama stands during the course of my research, but their website didn't list any US distributors. Are they available in the US?

Kotta, I'd love to see a picture of your home-made stands.

Thanks to all for the suggestions.

The U.S. web-site which carried these stands no longer have them. You'll have to do some searching but it will be worth it. In England they are everywhere it seems. I wish I was able to post a picture of my stands, but I don't own a digital camera and even if I did, I probably wouldn't know how to post a picture on the internet. I'm a two-channel guy. The last to get any new technology. Perhaps one day in the near-future I'll be able. The oak stands were relatively easy to build. (They match the custom oak TV/Stereo Stand I built for my "basement" system. Nothing elaborate. Functional) The lumber cost for the stands was under $50. Good luck w/your search. Bill
