This is no April Fools Joke folks. During the next couple of days, we will be picking a day to migrate HTGuide to a new server. We will have the same reliable service we have always had, as we are not changing Hosting Services, only moving to a new updated state of the art server! Support is working to coordinate things right now.
We will announce the date of migration from old server to the new server in due time. We hope to minimize downtime while the DNS propagates to our new IP address, and service is restored. But some downtime is inevitable.
It cost $1600 NZD or 1312.64 USD here in New Zealand!
This is crazy :M :M :M :M
Where can i get a cheap one from? Anyone wanna sell one to New Zealand? :T
Give Merv a call from Northside HiFi here in Brisbane Australia. He sells aftermarket 805 stands that look identical to the originals for half the price.

I agree. Thier stands are WAY over priced. It almost contradicts thier go to market strategy. They charge more because they believe their speakers perform better and therefor should cost more. Fine. I buy into the speakers...but whats with the stands costing 10Xs more then anything else? Where is the value?
B&W stands are way over priced, and if nothing else puts B&W in a relm of snake oil. Shame on them.
Are their original stand really better? Better than after market one?
Better? no.
Designed to match the speakers bettter...probably. Does the design and materials used net the premium they charge? No chance. But hey, nothing should stop them form making as much money as possible I guess. I am sure they have done the research to support the fact tht people who invest in the 800 series dont shy away form the cost of the stands.
Well, i just gonna get the B&W one. Still i have to pay about $300 more USD since i am in no where of the world. What is the best sand to put in these baby?

There is a pair on Audiogon for $400. Can you have them shipped to you for abotu $300?
I got a pair of B&W 600 series stand for my 805S. It worked OK, but I wish I bought the proper 800 series stand.
You will not regret the purchase. Enjoy your beautiful 805S and the stands.
How much sand do i need to fill both stand so i can get an idea when i go out and buy some sand from mitro10 or place maker. Any tip before i put the sand in the stand?
Just make sure that whatever sand you use, make sure that it has been dried and cleaned by the factory, if not it can cause rust on the inside of your stands. I believe children's play sand is clean and dry.
kobestonecold, I'd get some sand from Piha Beach. The black sand should tone in with your speakers nicely. Just make sure you don't go near the water because that must be the most dangerous popular swimming area in the world.
I got dry washed river sand from the local hardware.
Its been in there for 2 1/2 years or so with no problems, although it was messy filling them up. You want to fill them to the top for max weight and minimum resonance. I reckon my 705 would be significantly harder to knock over than my 804s.

Siamese :evil: :twisted:
Does cat litter have larger diameter than play sand? I use play sand in my stands (NOT 805 stands), and some came out of the joint between the bottom plate and column because the sand is too fine.
I may be picky here, but does anyone know if bigger sand sound better or finer sand?
My 805 stand come tomorrow. I did buy fine sand today and planning to put in rubbish big black bag then inside the stand. I don't have to worry about stand getting rust overtime.
HI All,
I’m in the midst of an experiment. The HT system I am currently putting together is for my bedroom. It’s now mostly finished and I must say it sounds very good. Here is the essence of the experiment.
Can I use a good bookshelf speaker (the 805S) and a good subwoofer...
Hi there. I am thinking about getting some stands for my 805S which are currently sitting on bar stools...
My question is, how do the speakers attach to the stands (screws, velcro, etc). I have a young daughter and another one coming so I want to make sure my precious speakers are...
I am a new owner of the 805S's and the dedicated stands which look superb. The sound I am achieving is awesome in my small 12'6" x 10'6" room. :T I have scaled down to these from SF Electa Amators, SF Guarneri Homage and JM Lab 927Be's. The 805's do a better job than all three of these....
I’m breaking in a brand new pair of 805S’ I’ve got on demo from a local dealer. Been itching to compare them to the Nautilus 805s that have seen service in my room for the past 16 months.
Set the 805S’ up on stands last night, did not change location or positioning from the Nautilus...
I just bought a set of Signature 805s in Red Birdseye Maple, my first B&W speaker purchase. These are works of art IMHO. Although I have seen the B&W Black and Silver stands for these speakers, I wondering if their are any other alternatives out there? I was hoping to possibly find some type...
