Pondoro Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 The Heresy stands I see in the old pictures look about 3" tall and tilted back. More modern and homemade Heresy stands look like a foot or so tall. What do you all like? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 The taller stands may diminish the bass output Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If using Heresy as mains with no sub, would stay away from stands as bass decoupling from floor would not maintain the bass you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC39693 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Measure your ear height seated at listening position. Measure height of a Heresy cabinet to mid point of mid range horn. Subtract. That is the height of a four post stand you need to build. Posts on outer corners. Buy 10 inch, sealed front firing sub, put in bottom of four post stand. Place super Heresy on top. Spin a LP, fire up a Luxman R-117, crank volume from seated position using remote. Do not attempt to exceed 160 watts. Enjoy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ordered a second, identical, powered sub. I will build two lovely stands that allow "stacking" without actual transference of vibrations. I will test with one and with two subwoofers. I can't exceed 160 watts with my current equipment (not counting the powered sub woofers.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
