Having recently purchased a pair of Tannoy 15DMT loudspeakers I wanted a pair of stands of around 250mm in height to raise the speakers so that the speaker axis was more in line with my listening position. This is where my problems began as I found the well known loudspeaker stand manufacturers catered mainly for small loudspeakers requiring stands of around 400-600mm in height. Atacama offered a stand of 300mm in height but the base and top plates were too small for stability as the Tannoys have quite a large footprint and are haevy at around 90lbs. I then came across Custom Design (Tel no. 0191 2624646) in the HiFi World magazine who as part of their normal range of stands will also make custom design stands I duly contacted them and found them very helpful and placed my order for a fully welded space frame type with spikes and inert filler, the cost including delivery being £150. The stands arrived yesterday and I was impressed by their quality of workmanship and finish. I must say at this point that I am not in any way connected with this company but if you require a pair of custom design stands I don't think you would be disappointed.
