    Will be interested to hear your impressions of these. Have always been curious about the Omegas.

    I'm a pretty terrible reviewer, but I'll try.

    I mean they're small diameter widebanders, alnico magic or not you're probably better off with a fostex kit if you can, and the tradeoffs are unavoidable.

    I didn't want to deal with that at all, and Louis did mine in a custom size since they have to fit on my pc desk because space.

    Oh custom size, cool. Still interested to hear your thoughts. If they’re going to be on your desk, then why were you looking for heavy stands?

    They were made as tall and narrow as possible but there's limitations in how small you can go, so they need ~15cm of stand to be ear-height.

    Cool. Good luck. Was thinking ISO Acoustics, but don’t think they are EU.

    I can get ISOs but with widebanders on an unstable base like a desk you want to mass load the stands as much as humanly possible.

    We'll see, I found a company in italy that makes fillable welded steel stands so I'm going to get a quote.

    I thought about going to a local place that does stone countertops to see if they had smaller leftover pieces they could make into a platform for my subwoofer. Don’t know if they’d do something like that for your speakers. Might cost a mint though, not sure.

    Carrara, as in Marble of Carrara, is like a half hour drive away, but from my experience getting countertops made it would take 2-3 months to have the goods made because Italy.
