good affordable speaker stands

dinyaar · #11 19th April 2008, 08:55 AM

Hi again,
There is a guy in Mumbai Gratin Vaze @ +91 98209 49395 who makes an extremely solid/rigid/functional cast iron stand for very reasonable money. Finish is decent but the purpose is more than achieved.
Try them.

Contact Mr Murthy at 080-25588077 for stands. He can make custom stands anywhere from 5k to 45k.

Vinny.

Hi
No these are made and sold in bbay only. Call Grattan and see if he is willing to ship to Delhi. They are really heavy so transporting will cost.

Hi Dinyaar,
How heavy are these stands without the sand ? Overall quality? Finish ?
The really heavy ones which are custom made in Bangalore for hi-end bookshelf speakers cost around 15 to 20k

Hi SW,
There are 3 different stands he had attempted. All three had a 6 inch diameter SS cylindrical hollow tube(to be sand filled) and the base and top plate varied between wood, SS and MS(painted)
From what i recollect Grattan had mentioned that each stand weighs about 14 kgs without any sand/lead etc.....
Basic look, good finish, very sturdy, adjustable spikes and easy assembly.
Problem was he could barely sell and probably lost interest.
If i didnt have stands then i would ONLY buy one of them. They are easily better than the B&W 600,700,800 stands in all aspects except aesthetics.

The ones made by Murthy comes with an automotive paint finish and stainless steel spikes which pushes the cost up by some 6 / 7k.

7 / 8k is great pricing for a good quality / heavy stand. If one wants better finish, he can always get them painted at an automotive paint shop for some 4k.
