TonTräger Reference Speaker Stands: Anybody Own Them?
I was reading this month's issue (#293 page 74) of TAS and Paul Seydor gave an absolutely glowing review of these German made stands when used with a pair of Harbeth 40.2 loudspeakers. He described them by saying things such as "The difference they made in the sound is astonishing. This is the first and only time in my audiophile experience when I pair of rigid stands resulted only in improvements: I heard greater dynamic range, clarity, articulation, and definition with none, but I mean none, of the typical penalties that are the price of spiked stands: an excessively etched, edgy, analytical character regardless of how much sand, foam, shot, cat litter, or what-not you fill them with."
I'm currently using spiked Sound Anchor stands with my Harbeth C7ES3 speakers and and was wondering if anyone here might be using a pair of TonTräger stands with their stand-mounted speakers. |

Yes, I’m very happy with TonTrager stands under my 30.2 anni Harbeths. Wonderful synergy.

How difficult was it for you to find a dealer in the US? If you had to to purchase them directly from the manufacturer in Germany, were the shipping charges crazy high because they arrive fully assembled? |

The dealer I purchased my Harbeth speakers from carries the TonTrager line. No difficulties. I can PM you the info

They are very well made stands and are designed to work in harmony with the Harbeths. The slate is also recommended by some.

They look nice, but they strike me as rather pricey; aren't they something like $1500?
