Hi Kubla. Did Arcici ever make stands for the Acoustats like they did for Quads and CLS's? If so, you might want to try and track down a pair. Arcici stands not only raise esl speakers, but also add rigidity that translates into better sound to my ears. With the Logans they de-couple the electronics interface from the panel. Like I said, I'm not sure if they made them for your speakers, but just a thought.
Speaker base - what material is best?
Hey!
I just bought a pair of monitor 4 acoustat speakers - electrostats. the bases are the ugliest things i've ever seen in audio: black fiberglass with plywood bottoms. jeez. I took the speakers off the base and they're currently on the floor. I'd like to make bases for them but don't know what material to use or where to get it. any help is much appreciated. i'm thinking crazy like all stainless steel i might find in an architectural salvage yard or maybe find some MDF and cover it with laminate. Or?? I'd like to keep the whole eames era look going if possible.
As always, thanks in advance.
