jezzaboogie Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 After some suggestions on stands for a pair of Lenehan ML1s. Height around the 600mm mark. Would prefer to keep the cost below $300 but we will see... It's a bit tricky to buy on the 2nd hand market because I'm in Hobart and stands are usually advertised as "pickup only". I found these (postable) options on ebay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NorStone-Esse-Speaker-Stands-Black-Pair-Bookshelf-Stereo-Rack-Stand-/171043761440?pt=AU_Electronics_Accessories_Stands_Racks&hash=item27d300ad20 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Pair-Black-Glass-Speaker-Stands-for-Bookshelf-Speakers-/370794958402?pt=AU_Electronics_Accessories_Stands_Racks&hash=item56551a0e42 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/600mm-Heavy-Duty-Home-Theatre-Speaker-Stands-Black-/370810293894?pt=AU_Electronics_Accessories_Stands_Racks&hash=item5656040e86 Thanks in advance.
matt200sr Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 I strongly recommend you ask Mike for a price on the proper Tunestands. You never know he might be able to do you a deal on a demo pair he has in the workshop. As your probably aware the Tunestands are specifically developed for the ML1's and each stand is about twice the weight of the speaker. I couldn't imagine using some of the lesser stands as the stand itself needs to be heavy and inert. I use Tunestands with the carpet piercing spikes wound all the way in to the stand base. I can then "dial out" and movement in the stand due to the uneven floor with a couple of rotations on one of the rear spikes. I also decouple the speaker from the stand top plate using 4 of Herbie's Audio Lab Big Fat Dots on each corner, very effective. I have noticed that some people have previously used B&W FS700 stands with ML1's so you may want to check them out. They may be more in line with your existing budget. 1
DoggieHowser Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Mike does HAVE a pair of Tunestands in the factory Dunno if he's sold them yet tho.
