Butcher Block Adjustable Speaker Stands

I finally scratched an itch that has been bothering me for a year. The issue is getting my speakers at exactly the right height/angle for my listening room. As some may know I have relatively large 2-way monitors which sit on end tables that have the crossovers built-into the drawers.

I’ve tried IsoAcoustics monitor stands, and yes, I think they are great, but unfortunately the medium stands were too tall / had the wrong angles. While they are adjustable to some degree they have no fine control.

Anyway, to make a long story short this Memorial day Butcher Block had a sale on their component platforms, with a range of adjustable, screw on feet and voila! Problem solved. The combination of height and tilt has been dialed in perfectly.

I still recommend IsoAcoustics, and may even at some point spring for their screw in speaker feet but right now everything sounds so good I dare not touch a thing.

PS - A tweeter is not always the ideal determinant of where your head should be.  It's useful to attempt listening below and to the sides. Focal, B&W and other brands really benefit from non-tweeter axis listening.
