Sound Anchors are a "can't miss" choice.
Just purchased Usher Be-718. Need Help with Setup
I've just purchased Usher Audio's Be-718. So now I'm researching on speaker stands so far i've only found a few...
There are two from Usher: 708 and 728 spearker stands
I really like the fact that they are adjustable (because I'm also shopping around for a new listening chair...)
but only thing that bugs me is the fact that the wood doesnt quite match the Be-718. (my brother has the 728stands)
Then there are Sound Anchors (custom made for Be-718). Comes in 3&4 post flavors. Never seen them in person, but they look sturdy enough to support a truck.
And I've also found Solid Steel SS series. I really like the way they look. I've seen their equipment racks and heard great things about them. http://www.solidsteel.it/
To Be-718 owners: What stands are you using??
Anyone with experience with Sound Anchors/Solid Steel speaker stands?
What other stands should I look into?
Ofcourse acoustic/build quality comes first, but as far as price, I would like to keep them under $500. $600 is my screaming point. Never knew good stands could cost so much... Any more than that, maybe i should considered getting floor stand speakers instead of stand-mount.

If you want something more furniture like, check this link. I'm seriously considering one of Core's models myself. http://www.corefurniture.com/index.htm |
whatever stand you end up getting, I suggest getting a tall stand. I am using one of the Usher adjustable stand with my BE-718, I wish it could go up higher but now it's only about 24" tall. I tend to like my sound stage on the higher plane which also creates a more airy and transparent sound. you will lose some bass as a result, but I think the trade off is well worth it. |
