I need some stand mounters to see me through a few months until our new dog is more trustworthy.

Amp is a Leben CS300 which drives speakers way better than the numbers suggest.

Mid to dark wood finishes if possible. Budget upto £1000.

Some Audionote Js would be ideal ;)

Bourney, you are aware what the Leben is doing to a typical speaker load connected to it? The 3db eq difference at typical crossover frequencies will be clearly audible and will have an impact on the speaker decision should you wish to continue with it...

I've no idea what that means to be honest... but it seems to do well with speakers I didn't expect it to.

Steve, I have 2 pairs of AN Ks.

one pair are your old ones. Im using them.

the other pair need re foaming. I dont know how to do that, but I think you do?

if I supply the foams and if you could re -foam them, you can borrow them for as long as you need.

Hi Steve, can offer you a borrow of some 3 way B&O or some 4 way Akais (96db!) until you get sorted.

Hi,
Some Frugal Horns XL stuff for sale, one plug&play, the other one must be assembled+front panel must be made.
Really nice speakers for money...

Thanks for the offer Brian.. unfortunately I know the Ks and Leben don't gel well. Remember at Ricks 'eek'...a bit upfront.

I'd happily refoam the Ks for you though old chum.

Ive already got a pair of these... albeit the non XL version. You're right, they are surprisingly good. I need stand mounts unfortunately...on metal stands!

I will veneer them with metal sheet ;-)
Having owned both the gap is substantial.

I suppose you should add that they are in my living room so should be do domestically acceptable and reasonably modern looking.

I was just adding a post to say I'm looking for some thing modern looking. They do look great though.
