Hi Jim,Mebbe the stands you cooked up really didn't do any good - ie. their design was not up to scratch?
I'll bet Mye stands would improve their sound, whether on wooden floors or concrete floors.
Does Grant have a "money back if you ain't satisfied" deal (apart from shipping costs, of course)?
Regards,

I don't believe Grant has a money back guaranty. He's got a small cottage industry with these stands, which are only built on order. If he takes one back he may not be able to resell it as new, and would therefore have to take a loss. It's not like he's shipping 100 stands a week. This is a labor intensive job and the steel probably costs him much more than if he had a large manufacturing company. This is his second job.
unless Jim has an open enough mind and is prepared to experiment, he'll miss out on this simple improvement to his Maggies!In this case, it looks like his mind is closed.
Regards,
Sometimes you just have to take a chance.I knew the stock stands on my 1.6's were rather cude and flimsy. I've always (well almost always) been an advocate of making speakers as rigidly supported as possible and coupled to the floor via spikes. I read all the reviews on Grant's site and many comments on forums such as this. I reasoned that a rigid stand, if nothing else, would be a firmer foundation for such a tall thin panel. But, the Myes met all my expectations and then some.
While they're not cheap, I believe the significantly improved stability and sound make them a bargin.
Thanks for understanding. Let's just say I make less money than the shipping cost to return a pair. I sell about 12-15 pairs a month.
