yes alot of you already know the wonderous virtues of Grant VanderMye's maggie stands :)But for those who dont.... or those new here, I'm here to tell you that this is THE best audio related purchase I've made as of yet! (excluding actually buying my maggies) Nothing has given the sonic impact of these stands. Not my Polycrystal kit (UHD rack, footers and cable towers), Not my home made room treatments, not even my CX-7 Cd player (and it made a wonderful and huge difference in itself). And compared to the prices of the above.... these things are the deal of the century! MAX bang for the buck!
Highs are extremely smooth and natural now, mids are fluid and the bass.... oh man the bass!! Its full bodied and extended and dynamic with impact and slam! Drum notes that before just sounded like 'thud thud thud' now have distinquishable tones and stages. All around everything has more body and warmth and detail and dynamics and air and this stunning stable pinpoint imaging that I thought I had... but turns out not at all! Its just so much more fluid and sweet and musical now! Like a major high end amplifier upgrade or something... only better cause SOOO much cheaper!
Honestly I didnt expect THIS much of a difference and thats why I'm so excited lol! I had to share (no... grant did not put me up to this or ask me to post) and I also took several pictures to share as well :)
So you guys and gals out there that dont have stands as of yet... and dont want to fab your own... Deffinately give grant a call or email!!! He's wonderfull to deal with! Excellent customer service if you will. You can find him and his stands at Mye Sound
and now pictures! Enjoy!

I will update page tonight
Made a huge improvement to my modified 1.6s.
Wonder if they can be used satisfactorily on the chamfered edges of the 3 series (other than 3a). Currently using Sound Anchors. How do they compare?
I have designs available for the MGIII for use with or without stiles. The main advantage of my stands is the struts which support the panel. They improve bass response and midrange definition, etc...
Maybe Enchantment1.6's will offer her opinion on this as the crate with the bases arrived at her house a couple days before the struts. She knows the improvement involved and has a non-bias opinion.
For any other questions, please feel free to email me.
How much is the broker fee and what is the shipping weight of the 1.6 stands? Thanks.
Brad;
Broker fee is $21US for anything over $100US entering from Canada into the US. Shipping varies from $55 to $85 depending on your location. You can email me for any other questions you may have.

Thanks,

Hard to tell from the photo-I know you were concerned about this.
forward was too boomy in the midrange/bass and back made everyone/thing seem 7ft tall
I also have these stands, and your desscription rings true. I found that the stands increased the apparent efficiency of the maggies, making them sound like they are being powered by a larger amp. The stands are a must have for any Maggie owner, IMO.
cool that you liked them enough to even have them use pictures of your speakers/set-up on their site
me if he could...Just like he asks people that post about them if he can use their testimonial on his site as well.
good job!
