When you take the plunge and buy a decent pair of stands (or finally make some to a design that works for you) it's so worth it. It's one of the hardest parts of a system to prioritise but it matters on quite a few levels.
I made my own to match a list of preferences I'd developed after having a few different stands. I combined the qualities I liked about them and added a twist of my own. They've been brilliant for me.
You are lucky if you can find an off the shelf pair that work for your speakers, room and taste.

But $550 is almost as much as the value of my speakers so that's just stupid. The Bowers and Wilkins stands, which are nice, that match my speakers are also almost as much as my speakers, which is just insanity. Considered buying IsoAcoustics stands and just putting the speakers on my TV cabinet as they will fit on there, but I'm still not convinced I'll be able to toe them in enough and they're a rip off, too. Very conflicted. Currently using some Focal S700 stands that I need to return so need to find a solution that appeases my partner.
