Hello, all. Long time, no see. I was VERY active a while ago and have fallen off of the audio kick since my good friend George Grand passed. I decided to downgrade my speakers and just sold my Sony SS-M9s today. Fortunately, a while back, I found a pair of Polk Monitor 7C's local and picked them up. I'd like to see if someone has stands for sale that would go well with them.

Thanks in advance.

James

    Yes - It was tough, but I don't listen enough to justify having them - especially when money is always needed.

    If you are handy you can build them yourself. Honestly I prefer a taller stand that brings the tweeter/MW up to an appropriate level so that, at my preferred listening distance and height, it does not sound like the sound is coming from my floor. The relative distance and height between the drivers and your ear, as well as toe-in determines time alignment and minimizes off axis listening. It's a balance between the two really.

    Someone posted the original Polk stand dimensions here at one time, if you really want to go that route.

    I built my own version of the early stand which was low and tilted, when I bought my speakers. I have since then cannibalized the top pieces for my current stands.

    The later stand is taller and appears to not have any tilt or very little?

    Unfortunately, I am not handy. I’d rather just buy a set.

    I don't know where you are located but near San Francisco on CL there is a pair of the later taller stands for $100.

    Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention that they come with another pair of 7C LOL. Cali is crazy.
