Hi there,
as you can see, slowly getting components. searched a bit here but there's no threads about speaker stands/ racks so wanted to check what you guys use. value-for-money brands and also where can check them out, besides adelphi.
my budget for;
speaker stands max about $250-$300 (this is already more that the cost of my speakers but i think can put in more as they are for the long run)
hifi rack 4 tier $300+- (eventually with turntable on top, 2nd tier dac and cd transport, 3 tier pre amp, 4th tier power amp, though for now, likely only an integrated, a with cd player/ transport and dac)
i know it's not a lot but i think they should be in line with what they're holding, (obviously not very high end stuff).
also have another questions,
should they be in wood or metal (both stand and rack)?
i need them to be about 50cm (speaker stands) cos my "future" listening position is quite low (head rest of chair is about 80cm from the ground). my speakers are all about 30cm tall, with some feet should be about right height.
i figured if too low, can prop it higher, but if too high, i cannot make it lower (most stands are fixed heights).
so far i've only seen stands from 60cm upwards (in stores). 50cm like never see before, only on TB, where they also have 40cm.
would love to see what you guys are using (if you use stands and racks).
thanks!
