12" or so monitor stands

I second the Sound Anchor suggestion. I looked all over the place for a stand of about 16 inches tall and didnt find anything that satisfied my requirements. The Lovan stands were too short or too tall. I called Sound Anchors & ordered, and I am quite impressed with the stands they made for me. It is difficult to believe that stands could make such a big difference, but I was extremely pleased with their service and product.

The Lovan Jazz are 18" tall, they do have a 600 series which is 6" tall. Bob at Sound Anchors would make any type of stand you need.

Sistrm will make you some and there is nothing to compare. Read my review, but I misspelled sistrum so it says systrum. If these are two expsive I have my old autio notes that I will make you a good deal on.

Marco beat me to it. The Lovan Jazz is a great looking speaker stand that fits your description. It should be available on Audio Advisor http://www.audioadvisor.com

I believe that Lovan makes (made) one. I think it was called the Jazz(?).

With some very basic carpentry skills you could build a pair of 12" deep sandboxes, place a plinth across the sand (that did not touch the walls of the sandbox) and set the monitors on top. Filled with sand they'd weigh around 50-75 lbs each I'd guess ...... anyone ever tried anything like this: sandboxes for speakers?
