New Stand

Posted by: Matthew T on 16 January 2002

Finsihed off my new hifi stand last weekend. So far is sounding pretty good and everybody who has seen it thought it looked good.

Need to get some picture together and will post them for your amusement.

OK here is the first attempt, need to get a few shots without the flash.

Planing on painting the legs dark gray, just enjoying the music at the moment.

Hi Matthew!

Unfortunately your profile does not provide any system information - please give detail.
Are those N 804 or 803? Did you demo them against the CDM 9? If, how was it?
How do you like the bass of the N's?
Any trouble?

Guido,

Current system.

CDX/102/108/NACA5/BW N804

I listened to more speakers then I care to remember, I think somewhere in there I listened to the CDM9 but probably not on the end of the Naim equipment.

Next move is to NAPSC and HiCap plus a headline (will use one of those power sources when in use).

cheers

Matthew

I vote silver for the legs and smoked glass wink

Like any designer you look at what is already available to seek inspiration and get ideas. For this project I choose one of the most appealing designs to work from, wink and seeing though I have no intention of trying to sell one of these I thought I could get away with it. big grin

The stand has got more to it then meets the eye. Will attach a picture of a schematic.

The shelves are made of a chopped up ikea hardwood (beech) worktop (looks a lot nicer then mdf). The legs, pine because I couldn't be bothered to find any beech.

Cost was £300 half of which went on the 10mm glass shelves and a total of 5 days.

This stand is not child friendly.

Speaker position is currently constrained by the rather small room and the fact that it is my bedroom, when I go for the ultimate upgrade, buying a house in London to put my hifi in, then speakers will have plenty more room!

Bosh,

The glass looks pretty good with the lights on, blue green seems to compliment the Naim logos. Not convinced about silver.

cheers
