For something a bit different, the Concept speaker stand offer an 'avant-garde' approach to speaker stand supports. The two most releveant aspects of speaker stand design are rigidity and mass. The Concept is the result of deeper exploration of the relationship between these two parameters. Multiple anchoring points of the cross-bracings coupled with a full acoustic steel frame, make for a very rigid, "crate-like", low impendence energy transferring speaker stand.

To provide suitable support for Harbeth speakers, unique open frame design approach features a unique horizontal cross bracing to provide a unique single energy transition material from the speaker cabinet to the isolation points. This creates a better pathway of resonance dissipation that more effeciently removes vibration noise with a single-steel piece from speaker to floor.

The Concept stands are designed to have the minimal influence on the speaker's characteristics and prevent anything from affecting the sound and music the speaker engineer had originally wished for their customer to experience. The stand creates a minimal impedence energy transfer support system that traps potential interference and removes it.

Hand-finished cross bracing supports available in Black, White, Mercury, Chrome or Brushed-Chrome finishes to accompany the black acoustic steel frame.

The loudspeaker is supportred by a top plate fabricated from Custom Design's Acoustic Steel™ which is a sandwich of two steel plates joined together by a resonance energy absorbing polymer. The absorbs vibrations from both the loudspeaker cabinet and the stand itself, turning them into heat that is then channelled down the stand away from the speaker - rather than introuducing unwanted colorations in the sound.

The unique ‘H’ shaped Acoustic Steel™ top plate is not just decorative. It is designed to better fit the loudspeaker cabinet footprint, putting the satellite columns closer to the corners of loudspeaker, where their support can be the most effective, particularly in the case of the Harbeth speaker cabinets.
