New Gallo 3.5's

Scott and I traded a few emails, and he was great to work with, but in the end I decided to work with a family friend who builds custom furniture locally. He and I were able to sit down and discuss face to face exactly what I wanted, and all I'll have to pay for is materials. I should be getting the stands very soon, and I'll put up a separate post, with; pictures, details, and my impressions of how the stands, and the different things I've tried in the interim, effected the sound.

Has anyone tried the Mapleshade stands on the 3.1's and, if so, how did they work out?

Hello Bean,

This gentleman had something similar made...

and seems very happy with the results.

Those don't offer much height, though, compared to something like the Stein stands.

Thanks Barry and Dopogue, I realize there are many different options for Gallo speaker stand upgrades but I would like to hear someones impressions of the Mapleshade stands. I am particularly interested in what effect it has on the bass.
