I totally understand the speaker is heavy and the bottom woofer does present a design challenge in a new type of stand. How about just wrapping the two posts in the same boston cherry covering as the speakers. That might get rid of some of the black and improve the WAF. Just a thought. This thread is great - lots of interesting ideas and excellent feedback - thanks for starting it! A redesign of the metal stands, or maybe some wood stands, for the QS series. IMHO the metal stands look kinda goofy and bottom heavy. Although well constructed and functional it's alot of stand for a speaker of it's size. We'd love to hear suggestions on this one. The challenge is of course having a design that lets the bottom woofer fire freely, and doesn't make the stand top&front heavy. Would something like a music stand's U-shaped support have more appeal, do you think? Or have you got any ideas already that might look more streamlined?

Ah, okay, so it isn't the two-poles-vs-one-pole. Gotcha.

... with the woofer covered in silk. ...for silky smooth bass, and ferrofluid in the mid drivers and tweeters...for liquid mids/highs. :-S

I wanna see a M100 flagship model. Priced around 3 to 5k and devastatingly bad ass. Full range with active sub in each tower.
That or a professional line of studio monitors.
That's an untapped market that Focal has taken great advantage of.

I'm still waiting to see QS4/QS8 speakers with a mounting option similar to the M0 On-Walls. Oh, I guess it's already started. solarrdadd posted the following on the Blu-ray.com forum: one thing i do like is that the QS8's all now come with power mounting brackets standard. you connect your wires to the mounting bracket, mount the bracket to the wall and clip the speakers onto the bracket to power them. that solves the issue of banana, spade or pin type connectors sticking out and making the speaker sit out and look odd. it also means you don't have to try to wire directly to the speaker while holding it up in the air then trying to mount it.
the last QS speaker i got had the power bracket mount and they said they all will be like that from now on.
