Sound Anchors for 703?

[jclyle]

Hey Gang-
First off, hello! I've been lurking here for awhile & this is my first post. This is a great forum to stumble across & some of the pics here get me more turned on than the centerfold of the month, well not really... I just moved into a new house & a 12x15 living room will be used as my listening room...hardwood floors , 6x9 area rug, recliner & love seat, curtains for 2 windows, double doorways into foyer & den... Im starting to move things around to tweak the sound.. I’d love to get a pair of 802's, but the room is too small for them & the wife doesn’t want the stereo in the den. I’ve thought about upgrading to 803’s, but when I compared 703 v. 803 there wasn’t much of a difference, the 803 had a tad more bass (im a rocker, I mainly listen to high quality recordings of live rock & roll shows, I only have 2 ears, so I only need 2 channels…) So now im thinking about getting some stands for the 703's & maybe a small sub to get a little more boom in the room. Is anyone using sound anchor stands for 703's? I emailed Bob & they do offer them, he sent me a diagram. If anyone is using them would it be possible to post a pic so I can get a better idea how they look?

Here’s my setup:
B&W 703
Acurus A200 amp
Rogue 66 pre-amp
MSB LinkII DAC
Behringer DEQ 24/96 – digital equalizer
NAD 521BEE cd player

Hi Carter,
I have 703's and sound anchor stands. I received them about 6 weeks ago.
I noticed a big difference in sound. Much more articulated , especially bass. They look ok , just a black border around bottom. I got them to hopefully reduce sound to downstairs neighbors and I believe it works but can never be sure - havent heard any complaints yet.
I will try to post a picture for you.
By the way - I found Bob at Sound Anchor extremely informative about audio in general.
Hope this is helpful.

Sound Anchor stands are really fabulous in what they accomplish. A great way to improve the sound of the B&W line without going to the poorhouse. Bob is superb and so are his products- you will not be disappointed!!
