Stand Recommendations for Essence V's

colem9 · « **on:** 31 Jan 2006, 01:30 am »

Just curious if someone can recommend a sturdy stand for the Essence V's. I have a 3 year old son and do not want to risk him getting hurt by knocking them over.

Right now I have one speaker on top of my SVS PB2+/2 and the other on an end table. One option would be to get rid of the end table, buy a Maestro, and set it on top of that.

Have you thought about building your own? You probably want about 14-18" height. I'm sure ACI has some, or DIY. More than a few times I've just piled bricks

Our stand vendors changed their line ups and we really don't have a perfect stand in stock for the Essence Vs. I like a height around 16-20" depending on seat height. If you want a GREAT stand, I'm sure Bobby at Sound Anchors can do a fantastic set that will be perfect, but they won't be inexpensive. Maestro? Heck yeh

When I stopped at the office today Brenda showed me a pair of 16" Atlantis stands we have that are perfect for the Essence. I forgot we had them . . . email me or contact Brenda if you're interested. They were assembled for photo but otherwise unused. $99 plus shipping for the pair.

Although I haven't purchased from them - I've seen a number of good reports on Skylan stands, which appear to be custom made:

Thanks for all the replies. I am currently pricing one of those Maestro stands.

elcaptain88,
Those stands look great. My biggest concern is that my 2 1/2 year old knocking them over and possibley getting hurt. Those Essence V's are large and very heavy. We will see what happens.
