For the taller owners of the New Everest there is offered a stand:

In case of usage I would miss a place for amp /crossover inside.

$10,000 stands!

Now where was that concrete block thread ?

What a joke. When most people are sitting, as in listening to music, their ears will be at about the same elevation above the floor. Most of the difference between a short person and a tall person is in the length of their legs, so when sitting, the length of ones legs makes no difference.
If I could afford the DD66000s I wouldn't screw up the masterpiece by elevating the woofers, higher than GT intended.

So much you have missed in your way to musical nirvana.

I agree in the US$ 10.000, if that is the price, but using the right stands for different equipment can cost you less that changing an amp or a player.

The DD66000 is built the way it should be, so why would I want to put them on a stand that is not needed?

[Zilch]

They were on stands for the Tokyo introduction demos, as I recall, with casters.

[That'd be a $2000 upcharge option.... ]

Not true. Let's take the large vintage monitors. There are lot's of posts on the forum that owners agree that they must be put on stands to perform their best. In studios they are placed everywhere, on shelf's, in wall mounting, hanging from the ceiling, but they are rarely put directly on the floor.

I have to agree with Rolf on this one.

Recollecting Tokyo - stand, cable, diffusor.
Wheels - with and without.

Its cheaper to slouch on the couch or double the cushions

Maybe ... for some. I don't agree in that a stand must cost $10.000. But a stand will cost something, regardless if you make it yourself. The price for what is made of is the lowest cost, and you do the work yourself.

For me, the cost of bringing my speakers to the optimal position is about US$200. It is a 30mm board made from beech and 4 solid wheels pr speaker. It is made so that the corners is 90 deg and the speakers is at "the right distance" from the walls, and the angle is 10 deg centered towards the listening position.

So ... stands for US$10.000? not for me, but maybe for some.

For that price, you could make adjustable stands to get that customized height you need. Get ten thousand US $1 bills and divide them into six stacks of 1,666 bills each.

Spend the extra four dollars.

Put three stacks under each speaker (one at each front corner and one at the rear).

Remove an equal number of dollars from each front stack until the front is at the proper height for your special situation. Then, add or subtract enough $1 bills from the rear stack to raise or lower the front angle to your liking.

Spend the left over money, or put it back in the bank.

Now, any time you need to raise the speakers, it will only cost you a few dollars, and if you need to lower them, you'll be making money.

[Rolf]

Very well TD, but what about all orther equipment? They also need to be put on something.

[Hoerninger]

For that price, ... , you'll be making money.

Very comprehensive description, easy to follow.
