Spectral stands

Posted by: Carpe Diem on 04 March 2007

Hi,

Does anyone have experience of these stands?

I am looking at one of their 'closed' series unit to house my n-Vi, Topfield PVR and Centre with my Panny 37" plasma on top. They are the closest thing I have seen to a proper piece of furniture which is also designed from an audiophile perspective. Prices in the UK, like everything, seem to be much more than in mainland Europe and I was wondering if anyone had bought one abroad?

Have you had a look at any of the Blok range:

Very nice woods. Also, they can do custom sizes for you if you ask (they don't normally, but when I asked, it was no problem at all).

Roy.

Hi Jon,

I am very familiar with the Spectral range and yes, they do command a premium compared to other stands on the market but this is due to their exceptionally high standard of manafacture. They are quality pieces of furniture with a finish to justify their seemingly high price. Try and move one of the closed cabinets without 2 other people at hand and you'll see what I mean - they weigh a ton! Not sure about prices in mainland Europe compared to the UK but if you find them cheaper over there just make sure your car is rear wheel drive 'cos if you load one in the back of your motor, you're be wheeling all the way home!!
