Floorstanding Speaker Stands - which one?


Hi Folks:
I'm expecting imminent delivery of a pair of Acuhorn Biancore 155 horn speakers (the ones on this home page):
www.acuhorn.pl

From experience, I've found the use of Sistrum stands to be of immense benefit - I've used a pair of SP-004 Sistrum stands on my Virgo II speakers to great effect - a virtual necessity:

However, these new Acuhorns are very deep(60cm deep), very high (155cm high), but quite narrow (21cm wide). Does anyone have any thoughts on which stands I should use with these speakers?

Were I to consider staying with Sistrums, I'd probably need two of them per speaker, and then I risk having a very unstable speaker - I want to minimize chance of one falling over - even worse - one falling on the other like a domino ;-(

Has anyone used other floorstanding speaker stands or other isolation devices to good effect that would be highly stable, of great sonic benefit and preferably not break the bank?

You can see from my virtual system that the speakers will be on a carpet.

Thanks in advance for any advice!!
John.

I think very few speakers won't fare fromatand or platform to augment basic sound or decouple speakers from floor.Call Bob Warzalla at Sound Anchor.I think alHe Call knows stands like nobody else ( and know as much about Hifi as any audio engineer out there).Nothing beats his heavy iron on especially on wood floors but any type of floor.Bobs designs are often better than ones madeby manufacturer.To wit B&W's 805 Nautilus stands.Manufacturer themselves nice looking stands are bottom loaded but when Bob designed his stands (has many specific models for specific speakers) he found that they sounded much better with mass loaded just beneath speakers mounting plate.If he hasn't a specific model or a general apllication one which will work without compromise will build what you need.I am trying to save up to buy one of his excellent multi shelf racks as we speak.Look up his models on the web and you'll see that he has more than one desing be it sinmgle,double or tripple posts.His amp stands are adjustable as well if you depth or width consderations.Call him he'll make you a ciustom if oen is not sporpriate froma bnasic stand he has for a speaker yours size.You'll also find out only find he's a hell of a nice to and can answer questions about placement or even what comonents to match with what since he ehre's a lopt of Hifi and verybody at his factory basically bring there home stereo's in for listening and testing there instead of at home so again he knows his tuff and will answers.Wish I had his numbe but if google gives a problem go to Stereophile web site and use A/V link to get to his site down in FLA.
