I picked these speaker stands up yesterday. They have a triangular base that measures a bit over 13" on a side. The top plate is 5.75" x 5.75". They have three vertical columns and came with spikes. The height is about 29.5" not including the spikes and about 30.5" including the spikes.
They are solid steel with a black textured finish. They are pretty heavy and seem well made. Probably fairly expensive when new. The measurements above are rounded off. Given that they aren't exact, I think the actual dimensions are metric, which leads me to believe they were not made in the US, or not targeted specifically for the American market.
The most distinguishing feature is the vertical columns are octagonal (8-sided). When I first saw them, I immediately thought of the Lovan brand of stands, several of which have similar triangular bases. I was able to find pics of the Lovan Ballet 1 and Ballet 2 models which have rectangular and round vertical columns, but could not find any Lovans, or anything else, with octagonal vertical columns.
The back right vertical column on each stand has small openings near the top and bottom for running speaker wires inside the column. There is a corresponding round hole in the triangular base immediately behind this column. So, they were built with cable management in mind.
Here's a couple of photos:
Anyone recognize these?
I already have heavy, well-made metal stands in 18 and 24" height. So, it was nice to pick up something a little taller. The height is perfect for smaller bookshelf/stand mount speakers, such as my modified Pioneer SP-BS22-LR, or the satellite speakers from my 3D Acoustics 3D610B 3-piece system.
