Hi,
After a long internet search, I decided to purchase a set of Sound Anchor stands for my rear B&W 803S speakers. I’m posting these photos because during my search for plinths, I found very few good photos of the actual product I was trying to research, to include even on the SA website.
I called SA and placed the order. They were out of inventory and needed to make my stands, even so they arrived well boxed and in good shape three weeks later. The foam they were packed in was crumbly and needed to be vacuumed a little. I was shorted a few pieces of the advertised hardware, but a quick call to Sound Anchor had the missing parts to my door in no time. The finish is a black texture coat, maybe paint, but not powder coat as I know it, and will scratch off fairly easy if the stand comes in contact with something hard. The stands weighed 18.05 and 18.10 lbs respectively. The aluminum pieces are nice. I found that the SA stickers were on a little cockeyed, but easy to remove and straighten.
How do they work? Perfect! They allow me to adjust the tilt of the speakers and raised them about 3.5 inches. The speaker sits fairly solid on the stand and will wiggle only if you push on it hard. The blue dots work well. I had a little trouble getting the speakers on the stands at first. I tried lowering them on, but due to the weight, I didn’t get them on perfectly straight. The blue dots will hold the speaker where it lands, so getting them straight with the dots under them was hard. I found that putting the speaker on the stand sans dots, aligning it, then tilting it front to back, emplacing the dots then, worked much better.
Did they improve the sound? I have no idea, I don’t have a multi channel music player (yet) and I bought them specifically to get my speakers off the carpet and tilt them a little. They do that well so I’m very satisfied plus the customer service was top notch and responsive which is worth a lot.
