Gig Harbor Audio makes/sells stands for the Graham Products they sell.
I would call Eric/owner and have a discussion. His run around $1,000.
Beautiful? I will let you decide.
Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's
I talked with my builder today. I told them I would reach out for more expert opinions on a final design.
Since the TonTragers are the benchmark for Harbeth stands, I'm trying to match them as much as possible.
Question 1- The TonTragers have a 1 inch riser in each corner of the top of the stand. Is this critical for optimal sound ? Or would it be sufficient for the speaker to sit flat on the top of the stand ?
Question 2- Obviously the top needs to be open except for the exterior frame, but can the base be a solid flat piece of wood...or should that be open also ?
Please chime in with any ideas...also I plan on using some good cone spikes on the bottom.
I've attached a pic of the TonTrager for reference for the above questions.
Thanks in advance.

Grissle, RE Beauty. No discount for ugly is there? I bought the Dynaudio 20's for my standpoints. Reasons: 1. Most stable design I have seen. Tip overs can really ruin your day so I prioritized this. 2. Cable Management system reduces odds of day tripping. 3. Designed to hold 15-20 lbs of sand in each stand. Adds to stability and vibration control. 4. Each stand comes with 4 adjustable spikes. MSRP is $500. My friend Dan Harmon at Dedicated Audio made a special purchase and sold me mine for $350. Dan gets a "highly recommended" from me. They may not win any "design" awards but form follows function in my book.

With all 3 series of the Harbeth SHL5’s that I owned I used Something Solid XF speaker stands. They sounded great with all of the 5’s. https://www.decoaudio.com/deco_audio_speaker_stands.html Since these are metal they are not a DIY project but they cost around $500 and they sounded almost as good as the Ton-Trager's. |
