Speaker stands

[Muddywaterstones]

Heavy metal?

I wonder if they are Cliff Stone Foundation product? CJSF - if I have his moniker spelled correctly - is a contributor here. I believe he designed them.

Yes, try #5 on this old thread, and I think it might be a Designer model.

Similarish, but not the same. I'll take some more pics.

A good thread there, with some (appropriately!) heavyweight contributors.

They weigh about 24kg each.

Think they might be the same as these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/target-speaker-stands-/401131443137?nma=true&si=gXqQwcx5AS7HLrv0hAPHESDexQM%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I wonder if ProAc had them built for them, as I'm sure I've seen that pairing before. Target did make lots of stands and tables, so it could be by them, but I'd have expected to see their sticker on it too.

Maybe it fell off?

And it looks like lindsayt was right about buying secondhand - the heavier, the better the value. Those beasts are even heavier than their current-day counterparts and I got a bigger bargain there than I realised at the time!

Although having said that, if I get a slipped-disc from lugging them about, that will be one bargain too far...

Anything is possible. Is there a sticky mark to give the game away?

 

[thewinelake.]

No sticky marks, but here are some more pictures:

According to Steve of Target, they are "R series" stands, and probably about 25 years old.

According to this thread here: http://www.pinkfishmedia.net/forum/showthread.php?t=146939 they are ridiculously valuable!
