Finally got me some new speakers! Stand recommendation needed

Yay! One down, one to go I'm now the proud owner of a new pair of speakers, hopefully I should like them.

I paid £51 for a pair of Mordaunt Short MS10i Pearl's (thanx Rory). Nice and cheap, and they seem to get some good reviews

Just need to get an amp for them now, but I have my eye on an amp I've always been tempted by.

Now, I 'm going to need some stands for them. Which type of stands do you think will be the best / most appropriate? Open frame ones, or big thick ones like Atacamas?

Any specifically you can recommend to me? Cheaper the better, BTW

I have MS20's on Kan 2 stands. Sound amazing. On anything else they sound a bit slow and flabby in the bass. Would imagine the 10's to work similarly.....

Cheers

You got some pictures of those mate, or can you describe them?

 

Hoorah for Quadraspire acrylic! Nothing else will do for me now, I have them in my bedroom and in my main system.

 

I'm sure they're nice, but £150 is way more than i wanted to pay.

 

I used some MS20i speakers on top of some slightly taller versions of these Target stands for two years, and they worked very well:

I have no connection with the seller, by the way.

My ones were (are) about 60cm tall and spiked at the bottom, blu-tac at the top. It's a shame that you're such a long way away (I'm in Suffolk) as you could have them for the price of a couple of beers - they are just taking up cupboard space at the moment but are too tricky for me to be bothered to post.

 

Hi Paul

Here's some Kans on the stands I mentioned. They come up reasonably regularly on eBay.
