I need to buy some speaker stands to go with B&W 685 speakers. Which would you recommend? Is the Soundstyle Z2 sufficient, or do I need to go more expensive? The Partington Trophy or Super Dreadnought? Or the Atacama Aurora 6? Please help!
The Soundstyle Z2s are sufficient, but you'll get more out of the speakers with a more substantial stand - the Super Dreadnoughts are the business, but the Atacamas are a more aesthetic answer (and a clear - no pun intended - step up from the Z2s).
I would get the Super Dreadnought's if you can afford them, the only thing is unless you get them second hand it's tough to get discount on them. Any other stand make sure you ask for discount!
