CRS Stand Question

I have a pair of CRSs but not the stands. One of my friends here sent me the specs for making the stands. I was wondering if anyone ever purchased or made stands that were more conventional in nature? I would also like to know if the height of the stands are critical to the SDA effect.

    Try these for your crs.

    Raife uses 2 of these stands per speaker.
    They're sturdy and they can be filled with sand of shot to improve resonance control.

    Thanks ED for that link. I saw Ray's pics of his stands. I clicked the link and the stands are 24", the CRS stand specs call for 24 1/2" so I guess that is close enough plus $89 for four is the right price and I have two 25 lb bags of #9 shot sitting on top of my 1.2 TLs (resonance control;) :D ). I'll give Raife a holler and see if he has any tid bits I need to know. . .


    Thanks Bro.

    They should be 24 1/2 with the carpet spikes.
    I have 2 pairs and they're well made. I use them for other speakers since i have the original stands for the crs +.

    Little off subject, but I couldn't resist.

    I did some spring cleaning a few weeks past and found some old pics, when I bought my CRS stands I really liked how cool they looked so I bought two pairs.

    Here's a PIC of how I used the second pair.

    And yes, everything is suspended from the ceiling. I had the CD shelf custom made.

    But one night around 4am I woke up to a loud crash, one of the CRS stands gave out and the whole bottom half crashed to the floor.

    Very creative!!! Now what do I have to do to get you to sell them to me?

    Thanks Bro, unfortunetely I don't need another pair of speakers (as much as I would like them) and the seller won't just part with the stands right???. Thanks for the link though.

    EDIT: I will buy them if I can get them at a good price. . . from the picture, I doesn't look like they've had any tweeter upgrades. I imagine the crossovers haven't been upgraded either so the stands right now are worth more than the CRS+s to me.

    Be careful there brother we (you and I) are skirting the forum rules here a bit. I don't like breaking or bending the rules.

    They're relatively easy to make. Find a metal shop and give them the specs.They should be able to make them quickly.

    My CRS+ stands are actually Metal Technology TMT-30 30 inch stands. The Dayton's linked in ESAVINON's post are very similar to mine.

    I did not find the stand height to affect the SDA effect. It did affect the height of the stereo image. I did not like the sound with the 25" high Polk stands. I was always "looking down" on the sound stage. I seem to recall that you were going to set up your CRS+'s in a bedroom system, so tweeter height may not be that critical for you.

    Great memory there Ray about the bedroom set up.;) I have the CRSs though:p with the new tweets not the plus. I believe they belonged to Doro at one time and Jesse refinished them. Thanks for all the info, great stuff as usual.:)
