Please help. Need solutions for monitor stands and speaker terminal adapters

What is a good base for speakers

I nominate this company as building best speakers!
Dealers have a knack for a/b'ing speakers so the 2nd pair sounds unfreakinbelievable. often it's simply placement and volume that makes the 2nd pair sound magical. Fool me once shame on you. If you can't get a home demo over the days the shop clos...

Top down or bottom up? Just asking...

Request experience with local audio dealer upgrade programs
Generally the dealer will be upfront about any sale new or used. Surprisingly I find often I can get better prices from dealers on used gear they take on trade and don’t carry.

All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?!
Magico market doesn’t need to look at price tags. 
New speaker suggestion
The usher be20dmd is quite a speaker, big and heavy though I preferred them to the salon2 but 285 lbs each one as big as a washing machine I moved on. Excellent if you have the room and now they can be upgraded to the dmd midrange driver. Some spe...
