FS: Custom built Bamboo Speaker Stands

[alphaiii]

This listing is for a trio of custom Plyboo (bamboo ply) speaker stands built by Ascend/AVS forum member Jason Coleman to match Ascend Sierra-1 speakers in natural bamboo finish. I had to sell off my Ascend Speakers for $$ reasons, so these are a bit out of place with my Rosenut Energy speakers now.

Included are two 24" stands for the L/R speakers, one 12" center channel stand, GR research brass spikes, screws and assembly instructions, and BluStik. The center channel stand has an 8 degree angle so the center can be angled up toward the listener. The top plates were cut to match the footprint of each speaker - the top plate of the center channel stand matches the size of the horizontal Sierra-1 center.

I bought these in May, and have only assembled the L/R stands (see pics). The center stand is still wrapped in bubble wrap. I rate 8/10 since the L/R have been assembled, and there is a small ding on the column of one of the stands.

I can disassemble the stands and ship at the buyers expense. Local pickup is also fine with payment prior to pickup. I will accept USPS money order or Paypal.

I paid $200 + shipping for these. Asking $170 + shipping costs, OBO.

The fine details:

As I mentioned, they're made of Bamboo ply. It's non-resonant, heavy and sturdy. IMO, it's a hell of a lot more durable than MDF. Unfortunately, it's expensive as hell - I priced it at around $300 for a 4x8 sheet.

The top plate dimensions for the L/R stands - 7.5" wide x 10.5" deep, with (I believe) a 3/8" radius on front edge - perfect match for the footprint of the Sierra monitor.

The top plate for the center stand is 14.25" wide x 10.5" deep to match the horizontal Sierra center.

The columns for all 3 stands are 6" x 6", and are sand fill-able, as the bottom of the column is sealed. The column for the center stand has an 8 degree cut on the top to angle the top plate upward.

The bottom plates for all 3 stands are 10" x 12".

That's a steal... I sold another trio of stands to the guy that you purchased your Sierras from for $350 or so. This is half price. Even the raw Plyboo is worth more than $170...

Hi Jason,

Yeah, I think it's a hell of a price on these too... Very nice stands. If I hadn't sold off my Ascend Sierra's (unfortunately), I would be keeping them.

On the other hand, when I am in a position to own those Sierra's again, it's a good chance I'll buy them down the road. It might be awhile, but if I can't get a reasonable amount out of these stands, they might be staying, even if they don't match right now...

Regarding Your Custom built Bamboo Speaker Stands

Hi.

I'm considering these for my Jam0 C603 bookshelf speakers.

Do you have boxes for these stands (for the purpose of shipping)?

I'm in the 28081 zip code. Any idea what shipping costs would be?

Thanks.

I have the box and all of the bubble wrap that Jason Coleman packed the stands in to ship them to me.

As far as shipping costs... I'm getting about $25 from FedEx.

I'd pm this to you if I didn't just join the forum, having seen this thread. How's $100 sound, and I'll pick them up if you're within an hour or two away from Baltimore?
