Speaker Stands For the Sonus Faber Concertinos

Thank you all... the conversation must have opened up the possbility for the perfect stands to come along....the one and only Sonus Faber Fixed Height Stands themselves....and it was exactly at a price that I could afford. The universe must have been listening. May wonderful sounds surrond you all.

I was definitely thinking about the Osiris...but I also definitely need to get the full 28" for the Concertinos... also given my seating level at my work desk. I do get it Whirshfield about the importance of the stand... but I just can't make a $450 purchase on the SFs... I lucked out and got a great buy on the Concertinos. I got to keep the budget within the 200 to 300 framework. There's no creative challenge here if the answer is simply to buy the "best."

Thank you all again. It definitely is an option to wait it out until a used pair of SF show up. Even the top end hi-fi stores in NYC have either "nada" or poor quality. The reason - the demand for monitors vs. floorstanding doesn't warrant it. Another option is to low ball it for right now; buy the SFs when they show up and resell the orginal stands. One thing seems clear in today's market... you are not going to get a good reference stand for under $300. For the Osiris fans, I am looking around for the 27"/28" -- But, so far no luck. Thanks again for your input.

Whirshfield, I will definitely check it out. And, it's appreciated. But, say, for conversation sake, you spend 700 on speakers. It's insane, IMHO, to spend another 5 or 6 on stands... when it could have gone into a better speaker. NO!!!??? More expensive, doesn't necessarily mean better... even in the audio world. Anyway, thanks.
