Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's

I talked with my builder today. I told them I would reach out for more expert opinions on a final design.

Since the TonTragers are the benchmark for Harbeth stands, I'm trying to match them as much as possible.

Question 1- The TonTragers have a 1 inch riser in each corner of the top of the stand. Is this critical for optimal sound ? Or would it be sufficient for the speaker to sit flat on the top of the stand ?

Question 2- Obviously the top needs to be open except for the exterior frame, but can the base be a solid flat piece of wood...or should that be open also ?

Please chime in with any ideas...also I plan on using some good cone spikes on the bottom.

I've attached a pic of the TonTrager for reference for the above questions.

Thanks in advance.

Gig Harbor Audio makes/sells stands for the Graham Products they sell.

I would call Eric/owner and have a discussion. His run around $1,000.

Beautiful? I will let you decide.

Grissle,

RE Beauty. No discount for ugly is there? 

I bought the Dynaudio 20's for my standpoints.

Reasons:

1. Most stable design I have seen. Tip overs can really ruin your day

 so I prioritized this.

2. Cable Management system reduces odds of day tripping.

3. Designed to hold 15-20 lbs of sand in each stand. Adds to stability and vibration control.

4. Each stand comes with 4 adjustable spikes.

MSRP is $500. My friend Dan Harmon at Dedicated Audio made a special

purchase and sold me mine for $350. Dan gets a  "highly recommended"

from me. 

They may not win any "design" awards but form follows function in my book.
