Spendor Stand question on the new SA1


I just purchased a new pair of Spendor SA-1 speakers. I am wondering if any one has experimented with stands and stand height for the SA1. The matching factory stands are light but ridgged. Has any tried a heavier metal stand like Target or sound Anchors?

I would go with the Skylan stands. I was a Spendor dealer for years and still have 6 pairs and have used Target [was a dealer] and sound anchor and the Skylan are MUCH better. They are used under the expensive Harbeth [forget the model] and make my Sp-1s and S100s sound better than they ever have.
I have found the heavy metal stands to appear to store vibration more than the lighter ones. I am using kitty litter also, formerly used lead shot but have decided it adds a coloration to the sound. My TNT stand sounded better without it.
Tweeter at ear height when seated is the way I have usually tried to have mine. I have Audio Points under my SP-1s but the range of opinion on this is very wide , they work well in my system. I haven't tried the dots.
