The Mye Stand will add mass in addition to increasing frame rigidity, stop flexing, etc.
I have had the chance to listen to the ESL-63 type speaker in solid metal frames, i.e. 2805, etc. and wood frames. I much prefer metal.

Thanks, Kent It does make sense that adding mass and connecting everything together solidly would make a difference.
Do you think the difference between wood and metal stands was related to the construction of the wood stands or does wood tend to soften things?
I can hear a very definite difference between a cartridge in a wood body and the same cartridge in a metal body. Very different.
Since I prefer the metal body for cartridges maybe metal stands are the way to go for me.
Note to self: Start saving for Mye stands, ask Grant about longer feet to raise the speaker.
I can make them any height you need. Aesthetics; overcoming the 14" space visually is the biggest hurdle. Shipping; another small concern.
A bit of design time and I can work this all out.
