Hi Brian
I hope you’re doing well.
How are the speaker stands coming along?

Hey Brian.
I think I will do something similar. I have some foam panels, but they are not very good and do not look very nice. My goal is to have a black tribal silk screen print effect on beige material. I remember seeing a tutorial on YouTube for an acoustic panel built on a stand. The finish was elegant and practical as it could be moved around. I never got around to building it even though I know I really need to. Thanks for taking the time to explain your build to me!

WOW! Your room looks great. How did you build your panels?
Well, looks great so far! Have fun building.
Wow. This looks GREAT! Can’t wait to see it all complete.
Do you have any preliminary sketches of the stands or will they remain top secret for now?
Hi Laurence,
This is awesome! Thanks for sending it.
Hi Emanuel,
Thanks for your questions and for sending in the photos it makes things a lot easier when making recommendations.
1. You can never have too much power (haha)! Our 1723 center speaker is really power efficient you don’t need a lot of power to make them shine. But you will be sat really close and for this reason, I would suggest the 1961 center. It will do an amazing job and due to the size difference, it will be easier to implement.
2. Absolutely. In all 3 series, we have tried to match the sound as closely as possible so you can mix and match.
3. I would select 1961 bookshelfs or 1961 monitors running them sealed. They are both great little speakers and running them sealed will help with speaker positioning. Regarding wall mounting, our surrounds are designed with this in mind wall mounting them will only enhance their abilities due to the TriAxial design.
4. You certainly can use our bookshelfs for surround sound duties but our surrounds would be a much better fit. The TriAxial design diffuses the sound around you which may be beneficial as you will not be running side surrounds and rear surrounds. It will also make the room feel ‘larger’. If you decide you don’t like them you can always remove the jumper connected to the speaker terminals at the back and they will perform just like a bookshelf.
5. The 1v will dig deeper and shake the room but the 1s will offer a more refined sound and still provide plenty of low extension when watching movies. It’s really a personal choice. My recommendation for your space would be the 1s. I think it would work great in your space.
I hope this helps.
Hey Luis,
This weekend I took the plunge and bought x2 play bars and the sync box by Philips. I’m not sure how I feel about them yet. In certain scenes, they work great but in others, they can be distracting I might just use them for gaming and ambient room lighting.
Great setup James, do you have a large vinyl collection?
Hi Daksh. Great idea placing the speakers on top!
Some customers have opted to do this with our 1723 subwoofers too. It gets the job done and saves space.
Be sure to send in a photo of the built stands once you have completed them, I’d be interested to see the finished product.
