Need to get my Monitors off the wall brackets & onto Stands so i can use some Bass Traps & Acoustic Treatment but they need to be Heavy Duty as i have Mackie HR824s & they must be over 1meter tall.
Have looked at Studio Spares & some seem ok.

Anyone got Good praise for any of them.

Got my 824s sitting on top of stacked up breeze bolcks. Sounds great but takes up a fair bit of room. 1st I had them stacked up to head height. But that put them about halfway between the floor and roof, which is not supposed to be a good thing. So I took out a layer and angled them up with wooden wedges. Then sat them on blobs of bluetack to decouple them from the wood.

Two heavy duty stands for under Au $40.

Yeh speaker stand make all the difference.

Sorry just realised what monitors you meant. Yeh they should be ok with the pads on a stand although the height of the monitors might make them unsturdy – havent tested with such large speakers! Nice Mackies though!

No problems mate. Have got the stands & they do change the sound of my room, which was expected & better for my music.
As you say, they are a bit unstable when im bouncing around in my seat listening to a new bit i like even though they are filled with sand & the spikes are stood on so they become part of my floor boards.

But i think they are doing there Job.
All i need now are some Bass Traps.

Why don’t you make your own? Pretty straight forward you can save quite a lot and you can colormatch to the rest of your room.

Oops. Sorry. Just noticed that you already bought the stands. You can built your own basstraps though. If you’re interested in some diy acoustic treatment and a ton of good acoustics knowledge and advice google john sayer’s forum. It’s full to the brim with good info, plans and all kinds of cool stuff. DIY is also known to give a warm pleasure of accomplishment and fuller pocket as well
