Does anyone own Snell EIII Speakers and/or Stands?

I thought I would post to this thread again, since there haven't been any other posts in the last few days. I'm still looking for pictures or information on the speaker stands that Snell made to go with these EIIIs. If anyone has a suggestion on where I might look (I've already gotten what Snell could send), please let me know. Should I post my home email address in this forum? Thanks for any suggestions.

I do have a picture of the "stands" Snell offered for this speaker. It's basically a box that the base of the speaker sits in. The bases would be very easy to fabricate, I think, unless there's something else going on in this box besides air.

My brother has a pair of EIIs, though no stands. The stands seem like a good idea. The E really is a great speaker but the tweeter needs to be a bit higher to get it closer to the listener's ear level. Let's connect via email, and I'll locate the picture.

I own a pair of Snell E/III's......with the stands.
What do you want to know?

boy have you hit a nerve,
I too have lookedfor the stands for the e lll if you ever ae succsessful perhaps you can share the info with others. thanks

Hi Paulo2, thanks for responding. I'm trying to figure out how the stands are constructed on the inside, how the joints are constructed, if there are any internal braces for support, and if the compartment designed to fill with sand/lead is open or closed. If I am going to make these or have them made, I want to make sure that the joints will support the weight of the speakers.

I can see on my Es that there is a lip that runs all the way around the speaker, approx. 2 inches from the bottom. When in the base, does the weight of the speaker rest on this lip, sitting on the outer edge of the stand, or is there a "top" on the inside of the stand, on which the bottom of the speaker rests? I also have in my head that the compartment for sand would fill from the top of the stand when it's right-side-up, but I suppose it could be that the bottom of the stand would have a panel that removes to add the filler.

SJ sent pictures of front and back views of these stands, which I greatly appreciate. If you can describe the inner and joint construction and/or send pictures of the inside and bottom, it would give me a better idea of how Snell put them together. As I told SJ in my email correspondence with him, my twin sons were born last Tuesday, so I may be slow to respond. Thanks for any help you can give.
