Thanks, Steve.

Brooks at Resonant Woods is a great guy, very customer-oriented and can build up a set of stands in your choice of woods. They are a bit less expensive than the Tontragers, and if you ask me, much more attractive.

The pair I bought were a pair that were refurbished after originally being damaged in shipping; a couple of the curved pieces were damaged. One of the frames also had a very, very tiny surface defect, like a small crescent-shaped dimple about the size of the top very edge of your baby finger nail, along the edge of one of the bottom frame members; you could barely see and it, and as far as I was concerned, it was a complete non-issue for me as I was getting the stands for $400 less the standard price. (Besides, one of my Dyns a very small cosmetic flaw on of the cabinets when bought them used, and I never gave it a second thought).

Well, that wasn't good enough for Brooks, and he fixed it anyway. I don't think he could deal the thought of a product of his going out the door that wasn't perfect. He sent me a note when he shipped them that he thought they were one of the nicest pair he's ever made, so he was happy, and I was VERY happy.

Link to Brooks' site here. GREAT guy, BTW...

Once I get them on the Herbie's dB NeutralizerThreaded Stud Gliders so I can place them on the and have them work well on the carpet, I'll send a pic of both of them in the system.

I may even set up the product photography lights!
