Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's

the TonTraegers look hideous

@yogiboy

you are right. My apologies. What was I thinking. 

Entering my opinion about looks on an anonymous forum?

Here is a constructive angle: if you are to build stands that you will look at all day, make them pretty.

@donvito that's what I find pleasing to look at. To each his own.

@whipsaw

so I could have added "IMHO" or to my caveman taste or anything like that. But I thought it's implied, if X says: "roses smell terrible" he means "to him", not to the 8 billion residents of the Planet 

And yes, I am compelled to express that many audiophiles on this forum have a very different taste than I do. I am horrified by speaker stand design and the furniture people surround their 50-100K equipment with.

today is women's day dude, limit it to schoolboys :)

"form follows function" absolutely. I agree with that.

@whipsaw 

I am not sure there is anything I can add. I said it all, the value (let's not call it value but substance/significance) of my comment was that there is a massive void of aesthetics in audio gear and equipment and furniture. Which is clearly seen with this speaker stand. If you don't see any point in my comment, that's fine. 

Also, my opinion is not hyperbolic. On the one hand design is a matter of taste, on the other hand it's very objective. There are many ways to evaluate if something has aesthetic value and the fact that a lot of members of a group find it attractive is interesting but does not make it a visually good design.

We can move on. 

@whipsaw obviously you can't let this go, not sure how to help you :(

if insulting me does help, please have at it.
