Point me at a good 24" speaker stand.

It might. It might also take him longer than 24 hrs, or, he might not ever get back to me, which might be a good reason to revive this thread and ask some users who have actually assembled the stands before I make a long distance call and take Noel off task, just sayin'…

Did I say when I emailed him? It wasn’t today.

 

OK, no prob it just seemed like you posted that 15 minutes after someone posted the email address.

Everyone should remember that email is not a guaranteed delivery protocol by design, besides plenty of other reasons why someone might not get an email that is sent...

 

Got these Skylan stands set up, filled with RICE. I had already worked out few optimum room positions, and can report that they are well engineered and sonically appealing. In general, the bass is very nicely controlled, allowing everything to gel nicely. I think I was becoming a little off listening to them sitting on chairs. Thanks for the recommendation. Cheers to Noel!
