Tyler Acoustics Speaker Stands

I like to say Thanks to All for your Help.

I have some custom made Tyler stands for Taylo Reference Monitors also, mine are made slightly lower height than stock and I removed rubber bumpers from stand and use three 7/16 brass capnuts (aka acorn nuts)under speakers, round capnut dome touches speaker bottom and will not cause visible dents.......stand is sand filled.

The stands are fantastic. Great finish, great looks, sturdy, and sound nice.

I have the Taylo Reference Monitors with the stands that are made to match them. They replaced a pair of B&W CDM1-NT speakers with heavy duty ($300) Target stands. The Taylos on the matching stands absolutely blew away the B&Ws. Absolutely no contest.

Interesting thing was that the Taylos sound much better on their matching stands (unfilled) than they do on the sand filled Target stands. Everything opened up when I placed them on Ty's stands. I don't know why this is exactly, but I suspect it has something to do with the top plate of the Target stands being much smaller than the speakers. Regardless, going with the stands is a no-brainer, imo. I can't imagine getting anywhere near the performance without spending significantly more money, but with the stands I doubt you'll even consider searching to replace them.

Hi there. I have the Linbrook Signature Monitors and their matching stands. The stands can take approx 80Lb of sand/lead shot and are extremely well crafted. Personally I would use the stands that the manufacturer designs specifically for your model of speaker.

I am currently experimenting with lead shot and silicon sand. I can't tell you if one material sounds better than the other.

Cheers,
