If someone wants to send me an Audiobyte setup, I'll make and send them stands.

. So I guess that's a 'No' then... \:\)

I could do the woodwork (I built my own aquarium stand and canopy that's 6' long and about 8' tall with the aquarium in it, and those things have to be absolutely true, no errors allowed, otherwise the glass will eventually break - the weight of the water causes too much stress).

The problem is that I don't have the time right now [sigh]. Working at Apple sometimes involves 12-hour days and 6-day weeks - hence the speakers in the first place; I need some decent music to listen to in the office , to stop myself going insane...

I'm a bit surprised that Axiom don't have a set of stands, given that they do other ones, and that the speakers are pretty unique in their typical deployment. The closest I've found available commercially are the 'wood technologies' WC-10.5 stands, but they have 8" square tops, which would just look poor. Having spent the cash on speakers that look good, I don't want to plonk them on top of stands that look like they're for far larger speakers...

Oh well, perhaps there's some large candle-holders, or blocky-type book-ends I can find on Amazon...

Hi Simon,

I'll pass along your suggestion for dedicated Audiobyte stands to El Capitan at Axiom. And by the way, I want to compliment you on using the correct spelling in your first post of complement, which almost no-one knows how to use correctly.

As a former magazine editor, I'm a bit of a word-maven, but I always like to encourage good grammar and correct usage.

Regards,

Alan

So, I'm going for a custom pair from Tyler Acoustics ...



They'll make them suit the dimensions of the speaker, and make them 11" high, which puts the tweeter at ear-height on my desk \:\) I think the glossy blue finish speakers will look pretty darn gorgeous on those \:\)

I would love to see a photo when done. I saw a whole slew of different color pallets for speakers once at the Axiom plant including the blue and an orange...but not any speakers in that finish.
