Change of plan with the stand idea.......
Bought another one like mine off ebay for £30....was meant to be collecting it today, if it hadn't been for the 4-5 inches of snow we have had overnight....
Will be taking the top big shelf off the new one, and moving the middle plinths further apart to fit my 53cm centre speaker into (currently that gap is 45cms). Then I'll be cutting down the height of the plinths for a snug fit for the centre speaker.
Once that is done, I'll be taking my top big shelf off to add the new part, to then fit the big top shelf back onto it again, thus creating a stand 1.5 time bigger than it is now (approx).
Did you follow that??? Best seen when it's done......
As for the KEF's.........it is 12" (30cm's) away from the wall, but I'll limited for space so have little choice.
Obviously, if I had bought the original stand or made my own (2nd idea), ithe lack of space would have been helped cos both were 25cm's narrower.....
Oh well.........no boominess is apparant, anyway....
And this is what my two stands in one may look like, as I see some other clever chap has had the same idea......
