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

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 .

$879 is less than I expected.

The review I read from Dagogo was effusive about the sound, but there is one caveat:

"When you first put your speakers on them, they can be a little wobbly, but after a few days they settle in and have no movement front to back or side to side. Of course, like all tripods they can be unstable if struck on the corners, or if you lean on the corners." http://www.dagogo.com/sistrum-stands-review

Shouldn't be an issue if you are usually careful and not a klutz. I imagine if you have not had any problems with your current stands, that the Star Sound stands would not be a problem either.
