Stands for Philharmonic BMR?

[KEW]

Just wondering if anyone knows what height should be and happened to see some that made a nice presentation!
Thanks!

Look for a stand about 18-20" tall.

I would day 22-24" would work fine Kurt. I also recommend these for the BMR's:

The Model 1 stands look even better in person. Ty can customize them for you as well. They cost $400 a set! For the BMR's, it would easily be worth it inmho.


Cheers,

Phil

PS: You will have to scroll down a little bit to see the Model 1's!

I had something like these in mind. Still searching for something cheaper but in a similar style. At least they're slightly cheaper than the Tyler stands anyway. Edit: Here you go.

Or option 2. Too bad this little dude isn't holding his book level.

Or if you don't think your wife will go for lawn decor as speaker stands, here's a different direction.

Or if you're looking for cheap, you could get these and fill the tubes with sand or cat litter or something.

Or there are lots of small night stands around the neighborhood of your height requirements. You might even take your wife and a measuring tape to a few antique stores and let her help you pick out a pair. Wives love finding treasures at antique stores.

BMR has good vertical dispersion. One would want to be at listening height. I use Sanus 22" stand.

Found you a couple of stands for $1159 shipped. Or if you prefer something a little more subtle, here's a different pair for $1198.

Holy crap! Dude, just pick which design you like and I'll build it for you!

Seriously!

Kurt, if you want to go cheap but effective why not try a set of these:

With a top plate of 9.5" squared and a weight capacity of 90-lbs. would certainly work. Not to mention, they are also adjustable! Not bad for ONLY $69.95 shipped! Just saying............


Cheers,

Phil

Build him a pair of these, but shorter.

Aw, snap! This. [/thread]

Ya know, I haven't had the T or A conversation with him yet...

Build your own stands. Much cheaper and you can get them to the exact height you need. You should mount the speakers so that the tweeter will be at your listening position ear height.

I made some based off of this design:

Simple and sturdy construction, very easy to build. You could make a set with just one sheet of plywood or MDF. That design can hold any amount of weight, and has a lower center of gravity with respect to other stands as well.

Cinder blocks.

Cinder blocks.

Be sure to use audiophile-grade cinder blocks

When I searched for audio quality cinder blocks, I also found this:

But wait, there's more…

Forget those puny subwoofers in flimsy cardboard sonotubes. Use concrete drain pipe for those big subwoofers.

When I searched for audio quality cinder blocks, I also found this:

But why is the port in the opposite chamber from the mid driver? Are they venting the tweeter for extended bass range? o°/

When I searched for audio quality cinder blocks, I also found this:

I like the concept!
And at first thought this might actually be a legit design, but the interior volume is limited for the woofer and it looks like the tweeter is ported? WTF!
Looks like he had a CNC router with the recessed gasket and grooved and gasketed routing for the wires going from the XO to the woofer (at least that is what it looks like to me)!
Still there is a certain utilitarian post-apocalyptic appeal!

Right . That bass-reflex tweeter and the limited cabinet volume for the woofer made it look like some DIY speaker designs I've seen in Popular Mechanics.

In this picture we can see engineers carefully installing the port on my ported sub.

This is some Italian company called Solidsteel. They make all sorts of audio furniture. Their products can be bought through musicdirect.com, but I think these tripods are discontinued.

Solid Steel is also a great radio show

In regards to stands, the Monoprice Monolith stands look fairly heavy duty. Currently on sale for $40/ea with shipping included. Great deal imo because I'm sure the shipping isn't cheap. I might buy some.

I ordered these for my speakers awhile back. I haven't assembled them however so I can't really speak to the quality:
