Default Speaker Stands

New speakers inbound (Triangle Magellan Duetto) and am thinking new speaker stands. While I like the design of the matching stands there none in NA at the moment so am "looking around". Other than Sound Anchor, what other stands do you recommend?

Can't offer advice on the stands Glenn, but big congrats on the new speakers. What color?

These look interesting from Pillar Tech Audio based in Hungary. Don’t know prices or if they will ship to the US but may be worth to inquire on their website.

Dynaudio and PSB both make nice speaker stands.

Thank you. Will check them out.

Edit: Sent them a message thru their 'contact' form. Could find nothing about a NA distributor on their website.

Edit 2: Pillar distributes to NA thru their Canadian distributor. Gramophone.

Edit 3: Pillar is about $1600, delivered in the USA. That is a 24" height. I think I'll need 20", but will decide once the speakers arrive and have everything arranged.

I have Harbeth 5’s on Sound Anchor stands but what made them sound fantastic for me was to put Stillpoints in between the speakers and the stands

Which Stillpoints did you use? Three or four of them?

I used 4 Stillpoints Ultras on each speaker. Unfortunately they cost more than the stands but they made the speakers sound much better.

Hello Glenn - we did a home demo of Focal Sopra#1 on their dedicated stands about two years ago.
The Focal stands were impressive and might be a good match for the Triangle speakers.

Yes. I was also impressed with their stands when I auditioned the #1's.
