I can attest to an audible improvement with my HL5+XD’s when I replaced my height appropriate but “massy” stands with the TonTragger recommended option. I wouldn’t say the same about more typical rigid speakers I’ve used previously. Cost was about $750 CAN extra used and well worth it to me.
Do different speaker stands can really make a big sound improvement?
I am looking for stands for my new Harbeth P3ESR XD speakers and wonder how much improvement one can actually hear between close to a $1000 stands and a $100 one filled with sand?
