Custom Alternatives to Skylan Stands

[L0rdGwyn]

Hi there - title says it all, any good / similar alternatives to Skylan for custom stands?

I have a pair of Skylans for my Snell J/II, however they were bought / made for a pair of Omega speakers originally, so the dimensions are overly large.

I'd like to get something custom that is ideal for the J/II as I plan to own these speakers for years, they are "it" for me.

I reached out to Noel at Skylan, but unfortunately he is out of the top plates that are the ideal size for my Snells and won't get them back in stock for several months. Given the price of Skylans, I can't justify buying something that isn't tailor-made for the J/II. I could wait it out, but figured I'd see what else is out there while I am at it.

Thanks.

Sound Anchors are not cheap, but they are very, very good. I have them on my modified Snell E II's.

Thanks @trinhsman , unless the pricing is really nutso, I'm willing to pay for it. Custom doesn't every come cheap in my experience. They look for nice and solid, shooting them an email now to see what they can offer.

They are built like tanks. Very heavy and IMHO worth every penny. I even looked at the Audio Note stands, since the Audio Note Type E speakers are the same dimensions. Sound Anchors were built better, IMHO.

Great information, thanks again. We'll see what they have to say, I spent a lot of time redoing the crossovers and replacing drivers on these speakers, I love the sound so I think it is worth the investment.

I came across some Sound Anchors stands made for the Audio Note AN-J, something like below would be ideal, I think my mind is just about made up.

That's what you will get. Heavy as all get out.

Sound Anchors got back to me, holy smokes you weren't kidding about the prices. But I am always willing to pay for the right product, especially when it comes to quality. Can't say I will pull the trigger immediately, but I will be getting a pair of 3-post stands from them sooner rather than later. Thanks for the $0.02, @trinhsman .

Will the 3 legged design work with kids and dogs. I always fear tip over .

Well I have no kids or dogs just a few docile cats. But in all seriousness, judging from the photos, they look very stable. They are welded steel and are filled. While there are three posts, the top is rectangular from what I am seeing.
