Can anyone suggest a speaker stand that looks as good as the Grand Prix amp stands?

I have my DIY speakers that are in a black Hi-Gloss finish and I am presently using black Pangea 24" speaker stands. These stands are ok but not as exotic looking as I would prefer.
I really like the look of the Grand Prix amps stands that I am using with my mono block amps and getting speaker stands that are similar would be great..

Can anyone suggest some stands?

Some of my requirements.
1. I don't need to hide the wires.
2. They should be about 24" tall
3. Be able to support about 35lbs 
4. Wide top platform.
5. Prefer stainless steel but I guess silver or black would do.

Thanks,
ozzy

thaluza,

I have the Audiopoints that I use under my JL F-113 subs.
There is something to be said about the appearance of the stands. When others first view my system the Grand Prix amp stands always stand out with my Tube mono blocks. I just wish I could find something with the similar appearance.
That is long legs, spiked heels... Wait a minute my mind started wondering.

Back to the speaker stands. Something more than just a flower pot style stand which seems to be what most speaker stands look like.

Ozzy,

I found this old link to Star Sound which shows what their speaker stands used to look like: http://www.starsoundtechnologies.com/OLDSITE/compactmonitorplaforms.HTML

They show a  "topless" model, with "long legs and spikes" which might be up your alley.

If you put an acrylic shelf on top, and get silver colored posts (which they offer with their racks), you would have something that looks very close to the GP stands that you have.

Acrylic shelves would have to bought separately, but are relatively inexpensive. I got 3/4 inch shelves from a local acrylic shop  that cost around $100 a shelf.

thaluza,

They do look very much like the Grand Prix style. Any idea what they cost?

I found a review on the 20 inch model.  It had a retail price of $879 a pair back in 2007.

mofimadness,

Thank you very much.

Audiopoint, (Robert)

I sent a message through your web page as you suggested. I am interested in the stands shown at the bottom of the link suggested by mofimadness above. Preferable in brushed SS .
