Our stands have two top plates 4.3x7.1 and 7x7 so hopefully one of them worksThanks mate. I'm worried about the top plate on the Kanto

Hi
I made those .... actually , I had someone cut the wood and plywood pieces for me ...

These are not my pictures, but my stands are the same , I don't think the entire wood, plywood, screws , glues and cutting cost me $50... I glued and screwed the pieces
I got the idea from this webpage:
25 Excellent DIY Speaker Stands You Should Duplicate
I can't believe I read that in 2021! Wow

I can feel my wallet screaming rn....
Any thoughts on these modestly priced stands? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fisual-Dyn...3e30f2&pd_rd_wg=EToEw&pd_rd_i=B07TF9Y3Q9&th=1

Wow...sorry to be harsh, but some of those look terrible. Maybe it's some Peter Pan syndrome kicking in since I lived the milk crate speaker stand life through and after college, but even now I think I would pick the milk crates mentioned earlier over about 50-75% of those. Some of those are like if Red Green were audiophiles.
Yeah that's another good point that is often forgotten: Sometimes the price of high quality stands (like those designed specifically for a particular bookshelf speaker) plus the price of the bookshelf speakers will cost almost as much as tower speakers from the same manufacturer/brand!
In such cases, the tower speakers are almost always the better buy (better power and sometimes sound quality, more stability since the single-piece speaker is its own stand, sometimes better aesthetics, etc.) However it does not look like this is the case with Q Acoustics at least, so OP is safe there -- their tower speaker offering costs 2x as much as the bookshelves and stands combo, despite adding only a single extra bass driver per tower versus the bookshelves.
The only real advantages to bookshelf speakers on stands is that they're easier to transport (you can pack up the speakers separately from the less fragile stands), and that they sometimes (as in this case with Q Acoustics) enable a better performance/price ratio.
And I haven't seen a good tower setup in a kitchen yet
Some need some finishing but really no uglier than most stands are in the first place......but what does "if Red Green were audiophiles" mean?
Sorry, a little bit of a deep refernce that I wasn't sure if many would get. https://www.google.com/search?q=red+green&tbm=vid
I use kanto stands because they:
- are stable
- aren't expensive
- are well made
- come in a variety of heights
- have interchangeable base plates with built in foam pads
- have built in cable management
- were easy to put together by myself
When you wander off into the realm of esthetic, there is no limit on what you can spend of speakers stands. (or pretty much anything).Wow...sorry to be harsh, but some of those look terrible.
