My stand-mount speakers were always too low to have them at an ideal height to maximise the quality of the sound delivered - they were on a set of old 30 cm or less height stands I bought years ago. Having read that ideally the speakers should have the midpoint of the line of drivers at ear height, I looked around and found a set of studio monitor stands for much less than $100 that would enable me to lift them to a much better height.
My new stands are basically the same as the picture below.
The sonic improvement was immediate - I wish I had done this years ago. The only downside is that they are much more visually intrusive now as the cabinets are much higher up. If you shop around you can get them over the well-known auction site for about $60 or for $70 from Kosmic Sounds in Perth.
My speakers were screwed to the old stands for stability. I drilled the new mounts to the same hole pattern and again screwed them down so that they don't get accidentally knocked over after a glass or two of red...
The new stands came with adjustable spikes that pierce the carpet nicely and unobtrusively, and couple the stands to the cement below..
I might even get adventurous with the drill, and route the cables up inside the columns.

An A/B amp is rated at 200 wpc into 8 ohms with the first 25 watts per channel in class A.
It is rated at 300 wpc into 4 ohms. Does the class A amount go up proportionately (ie 37.5 wpc) or stay the same?

In this highly digital age I find it hard to believe that audio equipment hasn't keep pace with the change (or have I just missed it?).
We have advanced massively in active speakers and digital room correction technology, but have no way of properly implementing it...
I keep thinking it is just me that can't find it in my searching, but I am really starting to think that it just doesn't exist. It's like you can have this Lamborghini Aventador but in only comes with steel rims and 155 retreads and no way of upgrading to bigger mags or tyres.
In order to do a multi channel active system you ideally want to be running a digital signal right up to the DSP where the correction takes place and then passed out to the amp to provide oomph to the speakers.
Problem is there doesn't seem to be a device on the market that allows you to split the digital signal into multiple digital signals without doing umpteen D/A and A/D conversions.
So the dream of outputting digital from your CD / SACD / Network player into something that can take that output, process it, and output multiple individual digital outputs without either changing it from digital to analog and back, or amplifying when you are not ready for that stage just doesn't seem to exist.
I am not even talking about the utopia of it being capable of handling DSD input, I am just talking basic PCM. The only active x-overs on the market e.g. DEQX, Ground Sound etc only do two channels and basically consume your one and only digital input.
Surely there has to be a simple quality device out there that allow you to split up the individual digital signals to allow you the freedom to process it as you see fit?
Item: Thor PS10
Location: Melbourne
Price: $500 firm
Item Condition: Good
Reason for selling: Moving stuff into storage.
Payment Method: Pickup - Cash
Extra Info: PS10 works a treat however sadly It's no longer required.
Case has some small blemishes (which look way worse in the photos due to the lighting, you wont notice them in normal use) & a cosmetic crack in the separate earthing terminal mount on rear, see pic.
This is for the PS10 power regulator (& it's power cord) only, no separate power board is included, I originally made up an adapter so I could use any board I liked as I wasn't fussed on the Thor board.
Pickup only & ideally it needs to be collected no later than the 18th otherwise It'll probably be withdrawn from sale & end up going into storage with some other gear 
Any questions please ask, thanks.
Ok guys you were all a great help when picking my main headphone rig and now i want to add a pair of closed back headphones.
there are times when the missus will have the tv on a little loud and i find i have to turn the volume up on the he-1000's to block it out.
Of course i am not looking at spending as much on the closed back ones, but still want something very good.
headamp in use is the moon 430 had
up to $2k max i would say

Item: 3X Scanspeak 10F/4424G00 4" 4ohm full range
Location: Brisbane - can post if required - will use Officeworks Mailman (insured and sign on delivery at reasonable price)
Price: $200 + freight if required
Item Condition: 9/10 - 2 units perfect - 1 unit has small residue of solder
Reason for selling: These speakers were the original units intended for my 3D - printed speaker project. I got half way through that and decided to concentrate on another project (CNC is sooo much faster than printing). Not needed. Got 3 units in all to try to get a pair that were perfectly matched, one is more sensitive than the others (see below).
Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal (+3% if not "pay as friend), COD Only
Extra Info: These units currently retail at $132 plus freight. They represent the sweet-spot between a small driver that have a smooth on axis and excellent off-axis response combined with good power handling (especially if used with a high-pass crossover). The glass-fibre composite also gives a good degree of stiffness and internal dampening - as evidenced by the low dampening surround.
The graphs below are totally raw so they might look a bit alarming compared to the marketing-department version of speaker response graphs you are used to seeing. Their smooth and extended response allowed me to design a crossover point of 4500Hz - this leaves a lot of options with regards to the tweeter as you can use a smaller / lower powered unit. I used a high-pass at 450Hz to an 8" woofer. I have seen these successfully used in a FAST (full range / subwoofer topology) but I suppose you could use them full range for a very small set of desktop speakers too.
I ended up buying 3 of these. The first 2 had different sensitivities. I could have adjusted the crossover to accommodate this but couldn't help myself and bought another one which was very closely matched so I ended up with 3.
Zaph (just before he got the sh*ts with DIY) did some extensive testing on these tweeters - (see about half way down the linked page) -http://www.zaphaudio.com/blog.html
he used Soundeasy and seems to have smoothed the responses a bit more than me. Conclusion - flat response, low distortion and excellent power handling if crossed over above about 300Hz (i.e. can handle 256 watts RMS if crossed over here).
My own findings - these really are a great driver. The low distortion is apparent and they allow a great deal of design flexibility. Those who listened to them certainly agreed.
Pictures: Stock photos in the links below but you can also see the real units here - http://www.stereo.net.au/forums/index.php/topic/81786-origami-3d-printed-speaker-build/
----------- Note the correlation between the green and pink trace below up to about 5000hz.
This is real data that I measured using DATS:
Driver A-
Fs = 105hz
QTS = 0.461
Vas = 2.058
Sens = 91.85 (2.83Vrms @ 1m) - this one the one that was more sensitive.Adding more resistance will adjust the QTS slightly and trim the level to bring it down to the other units below.
Driver B
Fs = 108hz
QTS = 0.525
Vas = 1.699
Sens = 90.4 (2.83Vrms @ 1m)
Driver C
Fs = 107hz
QTS = 0.523
Vas = 1.701
Sens = 90.35(2.83Vrms @ 1m)
******* I have these at my office and I am on leave at the moment. It might take me a few days to get in there and post the items once payment has been received. Don't worry, I am not really a Scumbag.
