Back tilt for time alignment is old story in Hifi and many speakers have had alignment with tilted baffle/cabinet (my current floor standers have a tilt cone stock.(BTW did you know that with di-poles like Maggies they sound bstter tilted down foward not back).But some speaker are denied on ear axis with stands like Bedrock.Also though the Bedrockhas some decoupling wood may not have the best resonat frequency and more important mass that other materials like stone or iron have.
Always thought if you have a popular speaker Bob Warzalla of Sound Anchor knows more about the subject than anybody I have spoken with.I was selling the elliptical shaped B&W 805 so everybody wanted the kind of pricey stands where mass was bottom loaded.Bobs were not as pretty but he experimented with giving more mass at bottom and more at top and made a better stand than B&W for their won product.If I were to get a two way top replace my floor standers (and was thinking about Harbeth or Totem Mani-2 and would only get SA's.Even with a floor stander his basses can do wonders.Nothing beats "Heavy Metal" (I mean the stands I am mostly a jazz guy).Give him a call.I like Pierre's company and would put cables and tweaks on a list to try.He knows his stuff too (listen to how good his CD are).But speaker stands a 3 or 4 post from Bob is only thing I would consider.Not cheap but not stupid expensive either.
Chazz
